Risk and uncertainty. Property Recently, volunteering has become a global trend and the number of volunteers has increased significantly at special events. Sports events are the most common special events which can be defined as a function or "occasion" that aims to raise money for the community or the non-profit group that organizes it, in terms of fundraising. There are many types of special events, each with its own complexity and relevance to different groups. Many sporting events rely on volunteers who play a crucial role in the success of an event. It is therefore the responsibility of the organizer and the management to understand the motivation and satisfaction of the volunteers, which will lead to new volunteers for future sporting events. Understanding the motivations of volunteers and ensuring that they can successfully accomplish the different roles required to achieve their goals is challenging. In order to recruit and retain enough volunteers at sporting events, it is important to understand clearly motivating factors that lead to volunteer satisfaction, to develop a successful volunteer retention strategy so that the organizer can recruit and keep enough volunteers at sporting events.
