Several studies have focused on the consequences of effective leadership behaviors on followers. In other words, leadership styles have been the focus and driving factors in these studies. Through this phenomenological study, the researcher examined how management influences volunteers' attitudes and behaviors, and explored the commitment of volunteers in not-for-profit organizations. It centered on the central research question: what are the lived experiences of senior leadership when dealing with issues of volunteer commitment and retention in not-for-profit organizations? The study population was volunteers from Project Management Institute, Orange County chapter. The methodology for the study was a qualitative phenomenological approach, which helped provide an undiluted insight into the lived experiences of the participants. The primary instrument used for data collection was a face-to-face interview, containing 7 open-ended interview questions, and follow up questions resulting from the answers provided by the participants. NVivo software was used for transcribing the interviews, data coding and analyses. The emergent themes identified through the study results were effective communication, volunteer recognition, inclusive leadership, volunteer burn out, volunteer engagement and innovation. Application of the results from this study could help the Project Management Institute, Orange County chapter improve the effectiveness and efficiency of operations within the group. The study results were compared to other studies on volunteer and not-for-profit organizations.
