Abstract
As people's interest in forest trail increases, it has reached a critical time to extend forest trail program. This study clarifies correlation between two variables, organizational commitment and job motivation and identifies the variations in organizational commitment level for job motivation so that the forest trail programs attain its object and meet users' satisfaction. As a result, first, job motivation can be divided into 'personal satisfaction', 'work value', and 'external reward and recognition'; the biggest motivation is 'personal satisfaction', followed by 'work value' and 'external reward and recognition'. Second, job motivation has a positive correlation with organizational commitment. Especially 'personal satisfaction' and 'external reward and recognition' have a positive impact on the organizational commitment. To sum up, the personal satisfaction has a greater impact on organizational commitment than other factors. Therefore, it is needed to draw up measures to increase their personal satisfaction like making them have self esteem from forest trail guide.
