Four hundred-thirty (N=430) volunteers completed the Scale of Motives, that was adapted in classic from the functional approach of Omoto et al. (1993) and Chacon et al. (1998), aiming mainly at the testing of the surmisal that the motives of volunteers who film previous volunteering experience, but also of those who wish (or continue) to volunteer after the completion the Olympic Games, impart differ from the motives of those volunteers who have not volunteered in the past or who do not aim at providing voluntary work in the future.
The results back up the hypothesis, while the modified Greek scale offered high immanent consistencies and strong indications of validity. The future review and reapplication of the design of the adapted questionnaire of Motives will likely eliminate any potential weaknesses and will fall by the wayside the scale to reach full applicability.
