Charity sport events are valuable in terms of both actively enjoying leisure time, obtaining amazing experiences, and fundraising for a nonprofit organization, thus serving a meaningful purpose. Charity sporting events need a specific research focus apart from other sporting events because “cause” and “activity” at hand have a direct and mutual effect on the interest and commitment of individuals to the event (Filo et al., 2009). A model integrating key variables from the studies of serious leisure, charity sport event participation motivation, the perceived value of experience and behavioral intentions were proposed and tested on the participants of charity sport events. Thereby, the present study tried to employ the concept of serious leisure to better understand participants’ behavioral intentions for charity sport events. The sample of the study consisted of individuals who participate in charity running events held in Turkey in 2019. Data for the pilot study were collected from 214 Turkish Garmin Salt Lake Ultra Trail charity runners. Participants composed of 140 (65.4%) males and 74 females (34.6%). The main study sample was comprised of charity runners participating in 41. İstanbul Marathon in 2019. 316 participants, 201 (63.6%) male, and 115 (36.4%) female were included in the main study for the proposed SEM model analysis. As a result of structural equation modeling, the model's fit indices were found between acceptable intervals (χ2 = 427.696; df = 114; χ2 / df = 3.75; GFI = 0.89; CFI = 0.91; RMSEA = 0.073; TLI = 0.90).

Bu tarz etkinliklere katılımı artırmak için düzenlenen yardımseverlik etkinliklerine katılım motivasyonlarının ve bu etkinliklerde yaşanan deneyimlerin incelenmesi büyük önem taşımaktadır. Bu çalışma kapsamında geliştirilen model ile yardım için düzenlenen spor etkinliklerine katılan bireylerin etkinliğe katılma mot...
Volunteers motivation and sense of community in a sports event Yıldız, Alper; Koçak, Mehmet Settar; Yıldırım, Sinan; Devrilmez, Erhan (null; 2016-11-25) Volunteers are indispensable for sports events. Success of the event is related with their well management and coordination. It is expected that keeping volunteers’ motivation and sense of community levels high will affect both volunteers and event positively. Hence, aim of this research was investigating the perceived senses of community and motivations of volunteers, and examining correlations between sense of community and motivation of sports event volunteers. Four hundred seventy-seven of whom voluntee...

Attitude filtering for nanosatellites: A comparison of different approaches under model uncertainties Esit, Mehmet; Yakupoglu, Sirin; Söken, Halil Ersin (2021-01-01) Nanosatellites have become an integral part of space research in recent years, especially for universities and non-profit organizations. Attitude estimation is a key function that is playing a leading role in the success of their missions. Despite various research and several implemented algorithms, it is difficult to find comprehensive analyses on the attitude filtering algorithms used for nanosatellite attitude estimation. This article, first of all, presents different attitude filtering approaches that c...
