This book provides an overview of perspectives and approaches to
the cultural meaning of sport volunteering in different countries.
The main objective is to reflect on the diversity of meanings with
regard to volunteering in different cultures and societies.
Additionally, this book will shed light on volunteering practices
and the impact of volunteering from both an economic and a
sociological perspective. The book begins with an introductory
section that gives an overview of the rationale of the text and the
diversity of sport volunteers in general. From there, the book's 25
chapters each discuss a specific country case study provided by
researchers from the respective country. These studies provide a
comprehensive overview of volunteering in each country, such as
motivations of volunteers, satisfaction of volunteers, their
perceived cost and benefits, and many other areas related to the
overall study. By having twenty-five different countries
represented and a native of each country authoring the respective
chapters, this book serves as a comprehensive and diverse review of
sports volunteering around the world and can be incorporated into
courses in economics - particularly those dealing with sports
economics - and can also be used as a reference for volunteer
organizations and sports economists worldwide.
