Abstract :Studies on volunteering conceptually focus on free choice and participation without coercion. However, it is believed that volunteering, including volunteers working in national or international sports organizations, can also carry a sense of obligation. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between volunteering as a duty, volunteering as a commitment, and activity satisfaction, along with several variables. The study utilized the correlational screening model, a quantitative research method. The study sample consisted of 339 sports volunteers aged between 18 and 51 (Age Mean = 26.35±5.30) working in organizations provided volunteer support by Spor Istanbul. According to the findings, while regular participation in volunteer organizations created a significant difference in volunteering as a commitment, it did not create any significant differences in volunteering as a duty and activity satisfaction. No significant differences were found in terms of the duration of participation in volunteer organizations in terms of volunteering as a commitment, volunteering as a duty, or activity satisfaction. While a significant difference was found only in terms of volunteering as a commitment in terms of frequency of participation in volunteer organizations, no difference was found in terms of volunteering as a duty and activity satisfaction. A moderate positive correlation was found between volunteering as a commitment and activity satisfaction, but no correlation was found between volunteering as a duty and activity satisfaction. Volunteering as a commitment was found to be a significant predictor of activity satisfaction. The findings are discussed in conjunction with the literature.
