“…Una situación parecida se da en el voluntariado en eventos deportivos como las olimpíadas. En este caso, varias investigaciones han encontrado como motivación relevante el amor al deporte (Ma & Draper, 2017;Fediuc, Danciu & Albu, 2018).…”

“…En el correr de la última década se registra una profusa producción de investigaciones académicas orientadas a comprender la estructura motivacional de los voluntarios, lo que demuestra la relevancia de este tema. Existen interesantes trabajos que estudian la motivación de los voluntarios desde una perspectiva general (Shye, 2010;Voncino, Polonsky & Dolnicar, 2015;Stebbins, 2016;Gómez & Fernández, 2017a) y también hay publicaciones que estudian este tema en contextos particulares: eventos y organizaciones deportivas (Giannoulakis, Wang & Grey, 2008;Kim, Zhang & Connaughton, 2010;VanSickle, Piercey & Diacin, 2015;Ma & Draper, 2017;Bańbula, 2021); ensayos clínicos de vacunas (Nyaoke et al, 2017), bancos de alimentos (Do Paço, Agostinho & Nave, 2013); forestación urbana (Moskell, Shorna & Ferenz, 2010), organizaciones humanitarias (Frisch & Gerrard, 1981) y organizaciones cívicas (Alves, Nunes, Días & Meneses, 2021).…”

El conocimiento de las motivaciones de los voluntarios es un insumo crítico para el diseño de estrategias de captación y retención en los programas de voluntariado corporativo. No obstante, su importancia, la investigación empírica sobre la motivación en este tipo de voluntariado es apenas incipiente y aislada. El objetivo de la investigación fue identificar la estructura de motivaciones de los voluntarios corporativos y estudiar si esa estructura depende de factores sociodemográficos y culturales de los voluntarios y de la práctica del voluntariado personal en instituciones sociales. Es un estudio de tipo correlacional apoyado en una metodología de tipo cuantitativo. Se aplicó un cuestionario auto-administrado a voluntarios de 13 empresas que en Uruguay implementan programas de voluntariado corporativo. Las motivaciones se midieron en base al Volunteer Functions Inventory, que es una herramienta validada y ampliamente aplicada para medir las motivaciones del voluntariado en organizaciones sociales. Los resultados obtenidos son consistentes con los de investigaciones realizadas en otros países, con la diferencia de que los motivos relacionados con el interés por adquirir conocimientos registraron un mayor peso relativo que los estrictamente altruistas. También se encontró que la estructura de motivaciones resultó ser independiente de la mayoría de las variables que caracterizan a los voluntarios, al tiempo que se registraron diferencias significativas al comparar entre voluntarios de distintas empresas. Entre las principales conclusiones se destaca que la motivación de los voluntarios corporativos combina motivos altruistas y egocéntricos, que la estructura de motivaciones de cada voluntario no parece depender de factores personales y que existen factores relacionados con la empresa que impactan sobre esa estructura.

“…Researchers have also begun to parse out how cross-cultural differences influence the volunteer motivations among college students in the respective countries (Handy et al , 2010). Moreover, there have been studies demonstrating that interest in the event and its topic enhances motivations to volunteer, satisfaction and repeat volunteer intention (Ma and Draper, 2017; Vetitnev et al , 2018). As the SOBEWFF® leverages the involvement of undergraduate and graduate students from a hospitality program, there exists alignment between the student volunteers and the type of event for which they are volunteering.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this study is to identify the motivating factors that influence repeat participation among university student volunteers at a world-renowned food festival. The direct and indirection relationship (through attitude toward volunteering) was tested. Additionally, the moderating role of class standing between student volunteers' motivations, attitudes and repeat volunteer intention was assessed.Design/methodology/approachResearchers applied a quantitative methodology to data collected after the festival volunteering experience. The research team collected 205 useable surveys from university student volunteers at the Food Network and Cooking Channel South Beach Wine and Food Festival (SOBEWFF®). Structural equation modeling was used to test the relationships among volunteer motivations, attitude toward volunteering and intention to continue volunteering. Lastly, a multiple-group analysis was applied to test the moderating role of class standing.FindingsThe results showed the motivating factors purposive, personal enrichment and family traditions were significant in predicting attitude toward volunteering. These motivations did not significantly affect intention to continue volunteering; thus researchers found only an indirect relationship (through attitude toward volunteering) between volunteering motivations and intention to continue volunteering. Additionally, a positive attitude toward volunteering resulted in an intention to continue volunteering. Lastly, testing the moderating role of class standing revealed significant results on three pathways, indicating that students are motivated to volunteer differently based upon class standing (freshman through junior vs. senior, graduate).Research limitations/implicationsThe data were collected prior to COVID-19, and the ways in which COVID-19 has impacted the events industry and the scape of future events are yet to be determined.Practical implicationsFestival organizers and managers should appeal to different motivations of potential student volunteers depending on their class standing. For example, results of the moderator “class standing” indicated that the relationship between personal enrichment motivation and attitude toward volunteering was strongest and significant among freshmen, sophomores and juniors, but insignificant among seniors and graduate students. Thus, freshmen through juniors are more highly motivated to obtain practical experiences, and this motivation results in a positive attitude toward volunteering.Originality/valueThis study tests the moderating role of class standing to help predict intention to continue volunteering at a special event. The research is further unique by extending an understanding of the validity and reliability of the special events volunteer motivations scale.

“…However, this behavior contributes immensely to the organizers while also providing many benefits to the volunteers (Gallarza et al, 2013). For example, when volunteers engage in activities for the purpose of giving back to society, they can obtain spiritual satisfaction simultaneously (Ma and Draper, 2016). Some volunteers gained a sense of achievement by serving others (Kao et al, 2019).…”

Volunteers play an indispensable role in several major events and activities. The purpose of this study is to review studies on volunteer motivation from 2000 to 2021 and to discover the development trends in this field. The Web of Science Core Collection is the main literature data resource, from which 162 papers on volunteer motivation published in the SSCI were selected. Using two visualization analysis tools, CiteSpace and VOSviewer, this study conducts bibliometric analysis and systematic review from multiple dimensions, identifying the authors, countries, institutions, and journals with high productivity in this field. Additionally, we explored highly cited papers, authors, and journals in this field. This study aims to find the research hotspots and theoretical basis through co-occurrence analysis and cluster analysis of keywords and explore the evolution through the time zone map drawn with CiteSpace. Moreover, we focus on the influence of Chinese and Western cultures (represented by China and the United States) on volunteer motivation. It was found that Chinese volunteers were more affected by collectivism, whereas American volunteers were more affected by individualism. The conclusion of this study constructs a clear framework for research on volunteer motivation, which provides researchers with a deeper and thorough understanding of the connotation of volunteer motivation, providing guidance and support for future research in this field.
