To identify the motivation and considering criteria for sport volunteers participating in 2007 National Intercollegiate Athletic Games (2007 NIAG) in Taiwan. The mean differences of subjects' motivation and considering criteria were examined by background variables. The data were collected by using random cluster sampling procedure, and a self-reported questionnaire was used. A hundred volunteers were selected from 2007 NIAG. Descriptive statistics, reliability analysis, factor analysis, and one-way MANOVA were used to analyze the data. The results showed that "dedication and service" was the strongest motives volunteering for a sport event; and "personal convenience" was the most important criterion considering volunteering for a sport event. Significant mean differences were found in motivation and considering criteria by background variables such as "exercise habit" and "sport specialty". The motivation for people to volunteer for a sport event includes four factors: "dedication and service," "development and learning," "significant others," and "development for interpersonal relationship." The criteria considering to volunteer a sport event are "volunteer benefit," "personal convenience," and "job challenge." Sport volunteers with different background may volunteer a sport event with different motivation and considering criteria. To recruit volunteers efficiently and effectively for a sport event, a sport organization may consider people's different needs with different background.
