Abstract: The sense of accomplishment is not only crucial for stimulating the work motivation of grass-roots cadres and improving their work capabilities, but also serves as an essential strategy for retaining grass-roots talents. How to cultivate a greater “sense of accomplishment” among grassroots cadres has become an important issue in the development of grassroots organizations in the new era. Community workers, as a vital part of the cadre system, play a key role in reinforcing party building and ensuring effective grassroots governance. However, this group often lacks a sense of gain at work, which can lead to diminished self-recognition and, consequently, affect the stability of the grassroots cadre team and the overall development of community work. Based on the perspective of the ability-motivation-opportunity theory, the study constructs a model to identify the factors influencing the sense of accomplishment among community workers. The results indicate that these factors can be categorized into the three main areas: ability, motivation, and opportunity, specifically the performance of work, the clarity of self-identity in work, and the level of organizational support. Therefore, it is recommended to strengthen the professional skills among community workers, address internal needs and reinforce the organizational support to effectively improve the sense of accomplishment among community workers.
