A study was conducted among final-year social work students in five universities in Israel, with the objective of understanding students' commitment to the social work profession, and what variables might influence that commitment. The 271 students present on the day of data collection completed a questionnaire drawn up to measure their motivation. Multiple regression analysis showed that 27 percent of the observed variance could be explained by three independent variables. The article describes and analyses the implications of the findings for social work education and for the future of the profession.
