Sport organizations and events provide key sites for volunteer involvement, and at the same time, depend on volunteers for success. Understanding volunteer motivation and commitment may enable sport event managers to develop better recruitment, selection, training, organizing, reward, and retention strategies, and ultimately benefit the organizations, volunteers, and service recipients. The purposes of this study were to understand volunteers' demographics, motivation, commitment, and the relationships among these in elite level sport events. total of 241 volunteers from the 2008 Ryder Cup completed the web-based survey prior to the event. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling with AMOS 18.0 in an exploratory fashion to compare and explore the factorial structure of sport event volunteer motivation. A factorial structure with 18 motivation items loaded on five factors (i.e., purposive, leisure, enhancement, identity, external influence) was identified moderately fitting the present data. ANOVA and MANOVA results suggested that volunteers in different demographic groups had consistent and high commitment to the event but emphasized different motivations. Multiple regression and Structural Equation Modeling both suggested that purposive, leisure, and identity motivation factors were the effective predictors of volunteer commitment. Managers could consider sport participants and spectators as a potential volunteer pool for recruitment, and use purposive motivation to predict volunteer commitment levels. Providing volunteers with opportunities to contribute to the event, get involved with the event, identify with the event, and enjoy the event could meet their motivations and facilitate the reciprocal relationship between sport and volunteerism.

ABSTRACT: Volunteer service is a valuable product of our society. Increasingly, at recent sporting events, volunteers are a critical part of the overall success of the events (Williams, Dossa, & Tompkins, 1995). Today, an expectation of most sport event administrators is recruiting and retaining enough volunteers to fulfill the wide range of roles which are needed for a sport event to achieve its goals. In order to recruit and retain enough volunteers in sport events, it is important to clearly understand the demographic characteristics of volunteers, volunteer motivation and commitment.

The book highlights ‘new perspectives’ on volunteerism in sport, covering frameworks, methods, context and variables on several levels from community sport clubs to international events. In analysing the processes of control within voluntary sport clubs, a new theoretical framework – critical realism (CR) – challenges how we think about theory and how scientific inquiry should proceed. Further themes raised are: Should sports clubs be viewed as a crossing between a traditional volunteer culture dominated by collective solidarity, and a modern volunteer culture focused on the individual benefits? Are former athletes a new group of possible volunteers? Can personal narratives of experiences of being a volunteer in a big international event provide us with new insight that has not previously been considered? Identity is suggested as a motive for understanding volunteers at sporting events. Two new theoretical models are presented, one on the development of volunteer commitment and the other on a framework that incorporates both individual- and institutional-level variables. All chapters have recommendations for future research. The testing of these theories and influencing factors will provide new directions in the research of sport volunteerism. This book was originally published as a special issue of European Sport Management Quarterly.

Sport event volunteers have predominantly been examined in able-bodied events using quantitative methods. Studies examining the volunteer experience have focused on its relationship with different constructs, resulting in a siloed body of literature in which a holistic understanding of the volunteer experience remains poor. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationships between key constructs (satisfaction, motivation, commitment, and sense of community) and the first author's (E.L. Lachance) volunteer experience in a para-sport event.

Volunteers make important contributions across the spectrum of event settings, most visibly at high profile mega events such as the Olympic Games they are volunteers are lauded as ‘Games makers’, ’unsung heroes’ and the like. Less visibly volunteers are the heart and soul of community events and festivals, often undertaking multi-faceted roles from event leadership through to operations and ensuring that these celebrations are made possible in the absence of big budgets and professional event staff. This book is the first to showcase and advance international research into the volunteering experience at events, drawing on the work of key scholars in this field. Events of all sizes benefit from volunteer support but event volunteering research is frequently case study-based and individually these cases make a limited impact. This text brings together cases from around the world, specifically including those that expand theoretical and methodological boundaries. It features mega events like the 2012 Olympics and the 2011 Rugby World Cup, alongside music festivals and sports events. New areas that are examined include the benefits of event volunteering for students, the role of volunteers in social enterprise events and new methodological approaches to researching this phenomenon, specifically ethnographic and cross-national studies. This innovative book acts as a global source of key information for practitioners and researchers, an important text for students of event management and will provide stimulus for further work in this emerging area.
