Running has been very popular for years, especially in organized mass runs. Various running events take place all over the world, at different distances and locations, including charity running events. However, there has not been any research on the social impact of these events on participants to date. This article/paper is an attempt to remedy this situation. The authors conducted their research by the diagnostic survey method using standardized interview technique during the 6th Santa Claus Run organized in Poznan on the day of Santa Claus. A sample of 136 runners: 49 male respondents and 87 female respondents participated in the event voluntarily and completed a questionnaire. Therefore, the main goal of the study was to recognize the relationship between the lifestyles of men and women in the context of participation in a charity running event, in order to evaluate the differences between them. The specific goal was to discern the motives to take part in such kind of an event, as well as to find out what influence the participation in a charity run has on the respondents, both those leading an active and passive lifestyle. The most important result and the only one statistically significant difference in the conducted study was the indication that women have more empathy and participate more often than men in charity runs.

“…In a charity sport event setting, Hyde, Dunn, Wust, Bax, and Chambers () examined determinants of volunteers' satisfaction, organizational commitment, and intended future actions. Their findings suggest that multiple volunteer motivation factors such as socializing/enjoyment and financial support were positively associated with satisfaction and organizational commitment, which led to greater intention to volunteer not only for the charity event in future but also for other events.…”

This study examined the impacts of volunteers’ motivation and satisfaction through Olympic/Paralympic volunteering experiences on their intention to volunteer for future community events and the moderating role of previous volunteering experience in the relationships among motivations, satisfaction, and intention to continue volunteering. A sample of volunteers (N = 4,824) was drawn from the data collected by Nielsen during the Rio 2016 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Responses from a total of 25 items of volunteer motivations, satisfaction, future intention to volunteer, and previous experience status were used for the study's analyses. Path analysis revealed that among the total sample, motivations had direct and indirect (through satisfaction) effects on intention to volunteer. Results of multigroup path analysis showed that the relationships among motivations, satisfaction, and intention vary by returning and first‐time volunteers, supporting the moderating role of prior volunteering experience in the path model. This study provides a systematic examination of how volunteer motivations and satisfaction may operate differently or similarly between returning and first‐time volunteers.

“…Snyder and Omoto (2008) conceptualize this stage out of existing research on behavior like remaining active for the organization and being willing to recruit others to volunteer for the organization. So far, this framework has successfully been used in other empirical research on volunteering (Hyde, Dunn, Wust, Bax, & Chambers, 2016; Moskell, Allred, & Ferenz, 2010; Peddibhotla, 2013) and will guide the theoretical development of our framework for volunteering in arts organizations in the following.…”

“…This incentivizing mechanism leads to the satisfaction of the volunteers (Vasconcelos, 2008), where satisfaction is the overall evaluation of the job, the organization’s values, and the experience of working for the organization (Keller et al, 2006). In addition, research shows that volunteers’ satisfaction is also a valuable driver for other desirable behavior, such as the intention to recommend the product/service to friends (e.g., Garner & Garner, 2011; Hyde et al, 2016).…”

Nonprofits’ Internal Marketing and Its Influence on Volunteers’ Experiences and Behavior: A Multiple Mediation Analysis

Drawing from theory and research on internal marketing as a relevant factor influencing volunteer behavior, we hypothesize that internal marketing practices are positively associated with the way volunteers act in the interest of an organization and that this relationship is mediated by volunteers’ satisfaction and organizational identification. In a study of volunteers in German arts organizations, this relationship is analyzed using structural equation modeling. Results indicate mediation effects of satisfaction on volunteer behavior and internal marketing. Similarly, identification with the organization positively influences volunteer behavior, although not in the form of a mediation. Implications for internal marketing practices and arts organizations relying on volunteers are discussed.
