Abstract

The purpose of this article is to determine the factors that influence the motivations of the 39th Istanbul Marathon volunteers towards this event. This study was conducted on a total of 196 volunteers, 95 male and 101 female. Information about the participants was provided by Sport Events Volunteer Motivation Scale (SEVMS). For the statistical evaluation of the study, first factor analysis was conducted in order to determine whether the SEVMS provided a basic pattern of the scale and reliability analysis was conducted to determine whether it was measuring a holistic structure. Since Bartlett's test for sphericity Chi-square value was 2582.64 (p<0.05) and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.849 as a result of the reliability and factor analyses, it was concluded with factor analysis that the items could create patterns at high levels. According to the results of the study, it was found that in terms of the students’ departments, there were statistically significant differences in purposive, solidary and external traditions sub-dimensions and volunteer motivation total scores in favour of sport students and graduates. Therefore, it should be ensured that the success of the organization is increased by providing the individuals who have received or who are receiving education in the field of sport to participate in sports events. In addition to this, efforts should be made so that the students who are studying in the field of sport can experience the subjects they study in school. Another important result of the study is that external traditions sub-dimension scores of volunteers who have low English level are higher when compared with volunteers who have moderate and high levels of English. This is because international sport events provide volunteers a chance to improve foreign language skills. In this regard, volunteers who have low foreign language levels should be appointed with foreign language-knowing volunteers and their expectations should be met and they should be given opportunities to become global citizens in the globalizing world.
影响土耳其体育赛事自愿参与的因素评价——以沃达丰第39届伊斯坦布尔马拉松为例
本文的目的是确定影响第39届伊斯坦布尔马拉松志愿者对这项赛事的动机的因素。这项研究共有196名志愿者参与,其中95名男性,101名女性。参与者的信息由体育赛事志愿者动机量表(SEVMS)提供。对于本研究的统计评价,首先进行因子分析以确定SEVMS是否提供了量表的基本模式,并进行信度分析以确定其是否测量了整体结构。经信度和因子分析,Bartlett的球度检验卡方值为2582.64 (p<0.05), Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin值为0.849,经因子分析,本量表具有较高水平的图案创造能力。研究结果发现,就学生的院系而言,体育学生与研究生在目的、团结和外在传统子维度以及志愿者动机总分上存在统计学上的显著差异。因此,应该确保通过为已经接受或正在接受体育领域教育的个人提供参与体育赛事的机会来增加组织的成功。除此之外,应该努力使那些在体育领域学习的学生能够体验他们在学校学习的科目。研究的另一个重要结果是,英语水平低的志愿者的外部传统子维度得分高于英语水平中高的志愿者。这是因为国际体育赛事为志愿者提供了提高外语技能的机会。在这方面,外语水平低的志愿者应该被任命为懂外语的志愿者,满足他们的期望,让他们有机会在全球化的世界中成为世界公民。
