"The Importance of Volunteer Training at Collegiate Mega-Events"
In the Author's Words
College sports have become big business and no NCAA event brings in as much money
as the Final Four in basketball. In 2006, the NCAA signed a TV rights agreement for
its March Madness with CBS Sports and Time Warner for nearly 11 billion dollars over
14 years . This further increases the pressure to ensure that fans enjoy the event.
Yet, many of the people helping out at the event - those who have direct interaction
with the fans - are volunteers. While a number of previous researchers have examined
volunteer motivations, few have examined volunteer satisfaction. Just as satisfied
employees are likely to provide better service to customers, satisfied volunteers
should deliver a better experience for fans. Thus, this research investigates the
results of a volunteer satisfaction survey that was administered after a recent Final
Four and makes recommendations to further improve recruitment and training methods
in an effort to increase volunteer satisfact ion.
