Summary/Abstract: When the literature on leisure time concept and volunteering studies are examined, we see that studies center around the individual agency in the choices of volunteering and not feeling of any obligation, but this study is concerned with the feeling of duty within the volunteering. In this regard, the aim of this study is to make the validity and reliability study for the Turkish culture of Obligation to Volunteer as Commitment (OVC) and Obligation to Volunteer as Duty (OVD) Scales developed by Gallant, et al. (2017). In the study, we carried out analyzes on two sample groups like EFA and CFA, since it was desired to examine the psychometric properties of two measurement tools related to volunteering commitment, the "Volunteering Obligation as Commitment (OVC) Scale" and the "Volunteering Obligation as a Duty (OVD) Scale". As a result of the analyzes made, the 9 items single factor structure of the Obligation to Volunteering as Commitment and the Obligation to Volunteering as a Duty scales was revealed. According to this, it was determined that OVCS and OVDS are valid and reliable measurement tools for Turkish culture.
