In this paper, we study the non-Noether conserved quantity of Lie symmetry for m echanical systems with variable mass under a general infinitesimal transformatio n. The Hojman theorem is further generalized. The non-Noether conserved qu antity o f a general form for mechanical systems with variable mass is obtained. An examp le is given to illustrate the application of the result.
