The research questions posed in this paper relate to how and why the work in NGOs influences the NGO professionals. The concept of work in NGOs needs to be explored further in order for interested parties to get a true understanding of the nature of work in NGO sector. Even though research on work had been widely conducted in the business as well as the governmental sectors worldwide, few studies on this issue had been done in the NGO or non-profit sector.

NGO operations are seen to be different in terms of their goals when compared to those organizations. The study assumed that the meaning of work in NGOs is different from other types of organizations such as business and governmental organizations. The concept of work in Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) specifically in Songkhla province of Thailand is highlighted in this paper. The theoretical and empirical importance of the resulting model is discussed. A new causal model is proposed, where Uneasiness due to Work Instability as an independent variable, Personal Strain and Personal Resources as intervenient variables, and Anger, Hopelessness, and Satisfaction as dependent ones. Alternative models were explored, consistent with the original conceptual model and the empiric evidence. Results showed that the proposed model didn't fit to the data. 191 workers participated on the study, with a mean age of 31 years-old (SD = 11). The aim of this article is to test a conceptual model of the mediating relations between the uneasiness due to work instability and the psychological impact, in the framework of interactive stress theory, conducting a Path Analysis. In keeping with Heather’s love of drama, the wedding featured a kidnapping and several duels with light sabers.Research on the impact that work instability has on workers has the limitation of assess the relations among different variables separately, without examining the possible mediation relationships that can exists between them.
