This study aims to clarify the relationship between Taean clean-up volunteer workers’ higher level of environmental consciousness and their post-materialist values as proposed by Ronald Inglehart. For this purpose, we carried out E-mail survey, the subjects of which were the clean-up volunteer workers recruited through internet cafe or by environmental movement organizations. This survey belongs to a follow-up study, for the volunteer workers selected as subjects of this research were once interviewed in 2008 for the similar research purpose. The results of the survey can be summarized as follow. First, the proportion of those classified as post-materialists to all respondents amounts to 40%. The figure is far greater than expected and far exceeds the previous measurements (2% as of 2005) provided by national survey researches. Second, those classified as post-materialists came out to have much higher level of environmentalism and political participation than materialist and mixed groups. This results strongly support Inglehart’s post-materialism theory. Third, binary logistic regression analysis shows that environmental consciousness is found to be affected by such factors as job, religion, value orientation, sex, attitudes toward large scale development projects in the order named. This finding is not congruent with Inglehart’s argument that the strong environmentalism found in Korea and other developing countries is not from post-materialist values but mere reflection of serious environmental problems. This is because it has been found that although environmental problems induced by large scale development projects affect environmental consciousness but post-materialist values exert a greater effects on environmental consciousness.
