摘要：The present research tackles the topic of motives as
they are developed by volunteers –who offer time-consuming
services without expecting any material gains– and
specifically the Olympic Volunteers of .Athens 2004.. Four
hundred-thirty (N = 430) volunteers completed the Scale of
Motives, that was adapted in Greek from the functional
approach of Omoto et al. (1993) and Chacon et al. (1998),
aiming mainly at the testing of the hypothesis that the
motives of volunteers who have previous volunteering
experience, but also of those who wish (or continue) to
volunteer after the completion the Olympic Games, will
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 supported the
hypothesis, while the modified Greek scale offered high
internal 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 allow the scale to reach full applicability.
