Abstract

           This article aims to present the expectations and self-development of the new generation in Thai non-governmental organizations. This article employed 4 important concepts as a framework: (1) Non-governmental Organizations, (2) Generation Concepts, (3) Expectation and Motivation, and (4) Self-development. Results of a comprehensive literature review showed that there were 3 types of expectations: (1) Organizational Expectations, (2) Expectations for Social Work, and (3) Personal Expectations. Self-development of the new generation in the work of non-governmental organizations consists of 2 dimensions: (1) Self-development from internal factors: self-understanding and self-awareness, self-improvement, and self-personality development until creating good habits in work; (2) Self-development by learning from the external factors: seeking information, knowledge and practices, and building relationships and working networks.
