Through factor analyses, Cnaan and Goldberg-Glen found that most motivesgrouped to one factor, suggesting a unidimensional scale. (Cnaan & Goldberg-Glen 1991). However, the unidimensional scale was soon challenged by multifactor models. Clary andSnyder found that different volunteers have different motivations for volunteering, and that onevolunteer can have several motivations (Clary & Snyder 1999: 157). They developed theVolunteer Functions Inventory (VFI) to identify the extent to which 6 sources of motivation,known as “functions” (Values, Understanding, Career, Social, Enhancement, and Protective),have the greatest influence

engineers are responsible. Educating engineers for their career responsibilities hasalways been a priority of teaching institutions, but ethics education in engineering has not alwaysbeen a significant part of the curriculum. The importance of ethics training for students in otherfields such as medicine and psychology is more prevalent than that in the field of science andengineering. While the need for making ethical decisions for professionals in medicine andpsychology is apparent, it may not be so for engineers. Engineers make countless decisions thataffect the welfare of their corporations, their communities, and their professions. For instance, achemical engineer may have to choose between safety of those living near a plant and cost
