Examining Volunteering Motives, Attitudes, and Intentions Link In Mega Sport Events in the Qatari Context
Abstract
In this paper we examine people`s intention to volunteer in Mega sports events (MSEs) and activities in Qatar. Particularly, this study focuses on identifying motives to volunteer in MSEs. It also examines a model of possible links between motives to volunteer, attitudes toward volunteering, and volunteering intentions. In order to test the conceptual model of the current study, the quantitative phase includes the distribution and collection of a survey that targeted employees working in Qatari companies. Results of the study identified many motives behind volunteering in Qatar such as helping others and feeling needed. The results showed that there is a significant positive link between volunteering motives and attitudes toward volunteering, a significant positive link between attitudes and volunteering intentions, and a significant positive link between motives and intentions to volunteer. Finally, results showed that the link between motives to volunteer and volunteering intentions is mediated by volunteering attitudes.
