Abstract
[Abstract] Although episodic volunteering is a popular form of volunteering and has received increasing attention from researchers, the motives and characteristics of episodic volunteers in different industries or types of events
remain underresearched, especially in the context of cultural events. This study is based on a sample of more than
2000 episodic volunteers and analyzes demographic characteristics, motives, and volunteer experience of cultural
event volunteers by applying between and within analysis. The between analysis compares cultural and social event
volunteers and finds that cultural event volunteers show
higher time engagement but are more self-serving in their
motives. The within analysis emphasizes intrinsic motives
over extrinsic motives, leading to the conclusion that saturation of extrinsic motives reduces willingness for future
engagements.
