This study sought to venture beyond the scope of previous research by examining two 2016 events that incorporated elements of different event types. the material events- the ISPS Handa Perth International golf tournamnet and the Tlstra Perth Fashion Festival- were large-scale events with international stature and appeal. both of those events present concomitant event chatacteristics: the golf tournament could be labeled as a sporting event and a community event or even a corporate event, while the fashion festival could be deemend as a community event and also a form of cultural celebration or possibly a business event. Notwithstanding that the events are dissimilar in terms of function and goal, the author assert that the common defining characteristics was that the event volunteer recruitment was geographically localized using local area bounded recruitment drives. consequently, those events were exclusive supported by Perth residents who identified the events as community events because of their considerable contribution. This study sought the opinions and prespectives of the volunteers of the two events with a specific focus on volunteering motivation. This research is timely given the worrying trend of diminishing rates of event volunteering due to attrition in the volunteers base. The outcomes of this study will provide event managers involved in organizing community-based events, where the focus of recruitment is on local volunteers, with more in-depth knowledgement about the diversity of motivational factors brought about by the inherent heterogeneity in the volunteer base. Furthermore, insight is gained on the volunteer decision-marking process and the factors volunteers take into consideration in deciding to commit themselves to an event.
