As there continues to exist a surge in the organization of sporting events coupled with the demand for volunteers, event organizers must concern themselves with utilizing the appropriate recruitment and retention strategies. In an effort to do this, one must understand the points of satisfaction for volunteers as well as factors influencing their future intentions to volunteer. While there exists a plethora of research to understand the motivation of volunteers, exploring the antecedents of volunteer satisfaction as well as intent to remain has been limited. This study investigates the factors influencing volunteer satisfaction as well as intentions to remain as a volunteer for future sporting events from an elite men’s golf event on the Professional Golf Association (PGA) circuit. Results indicated that overall volunteers were satisfied with their experience and willing to return yet were concerned with the level of communication between the organization and volunteers. The present study also found that longevity of service influenced volunteer satisfaction. A MANOVA revealed significant differences between first time...

...banking, an Internet based service enabling people to do financial transactions, has been an obstacle for the development of e-commerce in China. This paper investigates the online banking acceptance in China. We conducted an experiment to investigate how users’ perception about online banking is affected by the perceived ease of use of website and the privacy policy provided by the online banking website. We find that both perceived ease of use and privacy policy have a significant impact on user’s adoption of online banking. In this study, we also investigate the relative importance of perceived ease of use, privacy, and security. Perceived ease of use is of less importance than privacy and security. Security is the most important factor influencing user’s adoption. A discussion of the implications of these results and limitations are provided at the end.

This means, if the managers/leaders in my company are well-trained this will also have a effect on all the team-members and I’ll probably won’t have to train everybody by just training the managers. Last but not least a training on team-skills will round-up the choice of most-valued training-benefits.

...permanent employees on the last day of the previous reported period. Five reasons due to which employees leave organizations: 1. The most common reason why employees leave a certain organization is that they see better opportunity elsewhere. Man has a growing desire to own more things and better pay can give them this. Apart from that, they are compelled to look for better pay because of financial needs. 2. Another reason could be that the employees are not happy with the organization. There are cases when employees leave the company even if they offer competitive salaries. This is because of the organization itself. The employee does not approve of the management style and they are unhappy with the culture of the organization. These factors can cause employees to say goodbye to the organization. 3. There are also cases when the employees leave because of their fellow employees or his superiors. Clashes of personalities are common in the workplace. When an employee can no longer stand the tension in the workplace, he may opt to leave the organization. It does not matter if he finally got his dream job or receiving a generous paycheck. If he no longer has peace of mind, he will look for another job. 4. It is man's...
