AB - This descriptive study attempted to identify the extent to which the global competency levels of overseas volunteers affected their psychological well-being. The data were collected through an online survey from 147 volunteers who were selected from the World Friends Korea members and are currently volunteering overseas. On average, participants’ global competency level was moderate, and the most influential sub-factors included cross-cultural acceptance and challenging spirit. Psychological well-being sub-factors was highly associated with their life goals and personal growth, and global competency sub-factors such as global self-efficacy, interpersonal flexibility, stress tolerance, and challenging spirit significantly influenced psychological well-being.
In conclusion, the higher participants’ global competency levels were, the higher was their psychological well-being. Future studies are recommended to develop not only a quantitative tool to measure overseas volunteers’ global competency, but also a qualitative study to better understand their psychological well-being.
