Abstract

This study was designed to investigate the motives for volunteering in sports towards self satisfaction. A total of 60 Higher Education Institutions Games (SUKIPT 2012) volunteers among the students of the National University of Malaysia (UKM), which consists of 26 men and 34 women aged between 18 and 25 years were involved as the main respondents in this research. For the purposes of this study, the questionnaire was adapted from the Volunteer Function Inventory (VFI) by Clary et al. (1998) to test individuals motives to become volunteer through Functional Theory approach. The result showed a significant difference between male and female volunteers in terms of value-for-participation (t = 2.06, p <0.05), and understanding (t = 2.24, p <0.05). Further, this study shows that career motives, social, values, understanding, enhancement and protection, are factors that contribute to volunteer satisfaction (t = 2.73, p < 0.05). However, aspects of value is the main motivating factor that most contributes to volunteer satisfaction The findings of this study are beneficial in improving the understanding of volunteers motivation
