The thesis aims to explore the source of new generation industrial designers’ motivation towards professional organizations related to industrial design. While doing so, understanding the changes in their motivation during the membership and the reason behind these changes is also important. To do so, questionnaire and semistructured interviews were conducted with industrial designers who have professional organization experience and are under 35 years old. After qualitative data analysis, the thesis revealed two main conclusions under two titles; personal aspects of motivation and organizational aspects of motivation.
