Özet
The purpose of this article is to determine the factors that influence the motivations of the 39th Istanbul Marathon
volunteers towards this event. This study was conducted on a total of 196 volunteers, 95 male and 101 female. Information
about the participants was provided by Sport Events Volunteer Motivation Scale (SEVMS). For the statistical evaluation of the
study, first factor analysis was conducted in order to determine whether the SEVMS provided a basic pattern of the scale and
reliability analysis was conducted to determine whether it was measuring a holistic structure. Since Bartlett's test for sphericity
Chi-square value was 2582.64 (p <0.05) and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was 0.849 as a result of the reliability and factor analyses,
it was concluded with factor analysis that the items could create patterns at high levels. According to the results of the study, it
was found that in terms of the students’ departments, there were statistically significant differences in purposive, solidary and
external traditions sub-dimensions and volunteer motivation total scores in favour of sport students and graduates. Therefore,
it should be ensured that the success of the organization is increased by providing the individuals who have received or who
are receiving education in the field of sports to participate in sports events. In addition to this, efforts should be made so that
the students who are studying in the field of sport can experience the subjects they study in school. Another important result of
the study is that external traditions sub-dimension scores of volunteers who have low English level are higher when compared
with volunteers who have moderate and high levels of English. This is because international sport events provide volunteers a
chance to improve foreign language skills. In this regard, volunteers who have low foreign language levels should be appointed
with foreign language-knowing volunteers and their expectations should be met and they should be given opportunities to
become global citizens in the globalizing world.
