ADOPTING A RIGHTS-BASED APPROACH TO SPORT MEGA EVENT VOLUNTEERING
Volunteers and volunteering is critically important to the successful hosting of mega-events. The debate around volunteers and sport mega events (SMEs) has been overwhelmingly positive, with little critique in respect of human rights issues. This paper seeks to explore the discourse surrounding volunteers as part of the mega event workforce. Using case study examples from three Olympic Games hosted post-2000, partially aligned to McGillivray et al.’s (2019) rights-based model for SME governance, critical discourse analysis discerned three themes in the dominant discourse: Program over Democracy, Valorisation of Sacrifice and Managerialist Organisers. The paper goes on to explore the implications of each for providing SME organisers scope to diminish the personal agency of SME volunteers. Research propositions relating to governance, voice, engagement, support, and formalisation are advanced, as well as practitioner recommendations for adopting a rights-based agenda of SME volunteering.
期刊介绍:
Event Management, an International Journal, intends to meet the research and analytic needs of a rapidly growing profession focused on events. This field has developed in size and impact globally to become a major business with numerous dedicated facilities, and a large-scale generator of tourism. The field encompasses meetings, conventions, festivals, expositions, sport and other special events. Event management is also of considerable importance to government agencies and not-for-profit organizations in a pursuit of a variety of goals, including fund-raising, the fostering of causes, and community development.
