“…Studies are mostly focused on motivation, experiences, and satisfaction of volunteers and management of volunteers in various types of events-e.g., cultural and art festivals; religious festivals; special events-but most dominate studies focused on sport events [31,[40][41][42][43][44]. Although such research focus is narrowly specified, increasing interest of the distinct fields of study in events, event tourism and volunteering, make a good environment for future research.…”

This paper focuses on volunteer tourism as a sustainable form of tourism relating to the volunteer service at a tourism destination and specific tourism activities. The aim of the paper is to explore volunteer tourism in Slovakia with examples of organized events, especially to search exactly how event's organizers support the development of domestic and inbound volunteer tourism in Slovakia. This paper is based on a sociological survey. We addressed 653 heterogeneous event's organizers in Slovakia. 18% of them participated in the questionnaire survey. The collected data were processed by selected mathematical and statistical methods in SPSS statistics program. As such, we found most events organizers team up with volunteers. Only half of the organizers cooperate with local volunteers, while the second half also support the development of volunteer tourism engaging in voluntourism. In the case of attractive events, the engagement of voluntourists could be more effective. The current situation has resulted from missing information about the management of volunteers but it could be improved through an e-manual for event organizers providing an outline guide for volunteer management.

“…The aim of this article, therefore, is to revisit the determinants of volunteering in the United Kingdom, through a key empirical contribution, to further inform volunteering recruitment and promotion in the light of the pressing generally accepted policy need for a greater volunteer base. There is a considerable literature exploring the motivations for volunteering (e.g., Cabrera et al, 2014;Chen & Chen, 2011;Clary & Snyder, 1999;Lockstone-Binney et al, 2015) and determinants of volunteering (e.g., Bauer et al, 2013;Dawson & Downward, 2013;Hallmann, 2015;Taylor et al, 2012;Ziemek, 2006). Surprisingly, however, while there is an important growing literature that examines how family and social-economic transitions influence volunteering in a longitudinal setting (Einolf, 2018;Lancee & Radl, 2014;Nesbit, 2012), there is no research that examines the longitudinal choice to volunteer specifically in connection with the opportunity to allocate leisure time.…”

Theory recognizes the need to account for the allocation of time across activities as a potential constraint on volunteering. Drawing on the British Household Panel Survey (BHPS), for the first time, this article examines the decision to volunteer by males and females accounting for their engagement in other leisure activities that also involve discretionary time. Instrumental variable panel-data estimates reveal that it is only for females that volunteering is influenced by the choice of other leisure activities. This implies that males have more autonomy over their volunteering decision relative to their other leisure behavior compared with females. For males, this greater autonomy suggests that volunteering is more closely linked to the concept of “serious leisure” and a form of work as it is more distinct from other leisure activities. These differences have implications for volunteer recruitment.

“…The latter is also important because it adds to the generalisability of 8 the research. In the current literature , when two or more events are researched, they are 9 usually from the same country (e.g., Hallmann andHarms, 2012, Bang andChelladurai, 10 2009), In this study data from multiple events in three countries -Germany, Italy and New 11…”

“…Intrinsic-egoistic and altruistic motives have been shown 18 to foster time allocation to voluntary activity whereas extrinsic-egoistic motives have no 19influence(Flatau et al, 2012). In addition, the motives such as 'meeting people' and 'shaping 20 society' (also understood as contributing to society) are positively associated with time being 21 allocated to longer term sport volunteering(Hallmann, 2015). It is clear that such motives are 22 not specifically sport-related and can be fulfilled in other contexts.…”

Purpose: Given the increasing demands placed on a sport event workforce in servicing the needs of 4 spectators, to attract and recruit volunteers to the industry, it is important for sport event managers to 5 know what is driving how much time volunteers allocate to an event. We investigate the individual 6 and macro level factors influencing the allocation of time to volunteer at sport events. 7 Design/Methodology/Approach: Survey data were collected from volunteers at 25 sport events 8 (n=2,303). Multi-level modelling was used to identify common effects controlling for event 9 differences. 10 Findings: Male gender significantly influences time allocated to an event at the individual level. At 11 the macro level, the number of local inhabitants has a significant negative effect whereas the status of 12 an international event and duration contribute positively to time allocation. 13 Practical implications: The results provide clear evidence that macro level variables can stimulate 14 interest in event volunteering opportunities.
