Therefore, managers of sport organisations' must concern about utilising sport volunteers in their sport programs for effective and efficient operation, for that managers should understand volunteer motives and satisfaction (Pauline, 2011). In an effort to do this, this study was examining characteristics of volunteer motivation and factors responsible for the volunteer satisfaction using Bang and Challadurai's (2003) volunteer motivation scale and Kuhn and Guzley's (2002) volunteer satisfaction index. The results can be concluded that most volunteers focus on satisfying their personal goals through participating in sport volunteerism.
