Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the effects of role identity and calling on the volunteer behavior of volunteers with proactive personalities and information processing. A total of 860 registered university volunteers were analyzed using a proactive personality questionnaire, role identity questionnaire, volunteer behavior questionnaire, and calling questionnaire. The research results are indicated as follows. First, there was a significant positive correlation among the four variables: proactive personality, role identity, volunteer behavior, and calling. Second, a proactive personality directly influences volunteer behavior and indirectly affects volunteer behavior through the mediating effect of role identity and calling. Third, role identity and calling demonstrate a chain mediation effect on individual volunteer behavior. In addition, Stimulating the proactive personality of volunteers may result in enhanced role recognition and the development of a sense of mission, which further improves college students' willingness to participate in volunteer services.
