Previous research has shown that monetary compensation can crowd out intrinsic motivation for various activities. However, the existing evidence regarding voluntary work is limited and has produced inconclusive findings in the past. This study aims to address this research gap by investigating how monetary compensation affects the supply of voluntary work in the context of volunteer coaches in sports clubs in Germany. A propensity score matching approach is employed to consider a potential selection bias. The results show no evidence for a crowding-out phenomenon and instead indicate positive effects on the supplied hours and numerous items measuring the retention and recruitment of volunteers. The findings are robust when analyzing the sample based on whether the motivation leans more toward intrinsic or extrinsic.

Die Sportentwicklungsberichte haben zum Ziel, die Entscheidungsträger im organisierten Sport zeitnah mit politikfeld- und managementrelevanten Informationen zu versorgen. An der achten Welle der bundesweiten Online-Erhebung 2020 haben sich n=20.179 Sportvereine beteiligt. An einer zusätzlichen Befragung mit dem Schwerpunktthema COVID-19 im Frühjahr 2021 haben von diesen Vereinen nochmals 3.895 Vereine teilgenommen. Die Zusatzbefragung und der Längsschnitt zur Gesamtbefragung der achten Welle dienen als Datenbasis in diesem Bericht. Die Hypothese vor Durchführung dieses Projekts in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Deutschen Behindertensportverband (DBS) war, dass der deutsche Behindertensport im Zuge der COVID-19-Pandemie zahlreiche Mitglieder verloren hat. Ziel des Projektes ist es daher, auf Basis der Daten der Sportentwicklungsberichte verlässliche Auskunft zu geben über Ursachen, Bedingungen und Moderatoren eines möglichen Mitgliedschaftsverlusts.

Unprecedented numbers of refugees have affected European society at large, and the organized sports system, in particular. Combining the concepts of organizational capacity and institutional logics, this article examines the engagement of voluntary sports clubs (VSCs) in the process of refugee integration. Drawing on data from a representative sample of n = 5,170 German VSCs through an online survey, the results indicate that 28% of the VSCs reported engagement in the process of integrating refugees by the end of 2015; however, only 14% initiated concrete measures. The statistical analysis highlights the relevance of institutional logics. VSCs are encouraged to carefully handle the tension between business-like management and intensive voluntary work during the integrative process. Financial capacity appears less relevant; the presence of migrant club members and a more professional organizational design, however, appear beneficial. The results imply that involved stakeholders should intensify capacity building programs in the structural dimension of organizational capacity.

Die Sportentwicklungsberichte haben zum Ziel, die Entscheidungsträger im organisierten Sport zeitnah mit politikfeld- und managementrelevanten Informationen zu versorgen. In diesem Rahmen können auch Sonderauswertungen für unterschiedliche Sportarten erstellt werden, um den Fachverbänden spezifische Informationen zur Verfügung zu stellen. Eine solche Auswertung wurde hier für Fußballvereine vorgenommen. An der siebten Welle der bundesweiten Online-Erhebung 2017 haben sich n=3.829 Fußballvereine von N=24.958 (7.043.964 Mitgliedschaften; Stichtag 01.01.2017; DOSB, 2017) beteiligt. Die auf Basis der Befragung gewonnenen Erkenntnisse sind in diesem Bericht dargestellt.

Based on the theoretical framework of organisational capacity and using data from an online survey of 8571 sports clubs in Germany, this study investigates clubs' engagement towards child protection and the prevention of sexual violence. Only half of the clubs indicate that the prevention of sexual violence is a relevant topic for them, and on average, the clubs have implemented between two and three prevention measures. Pertaining to organisational capacity, human resource capacity (e.g. share of volunteers, share of women on the board) and structural capacity (e.g. club culture) exhibit significant effects on clubs' activation towards child protection.

Non-profit associations are usually democratically organized, and this feature plays a legitimizing role for the public support to associations. This article examines which characteristics at country level, organizational level and individual level can explain variations with regard to member engagement in the association democracy in sports clubs in Europe. The statistical analyses use data on 12,755 members from 642 sports clubs in ten European countries. The findings show that the majority of the members in sports clubs participate in the association democracy, but the level and form of engagement varies considerably. At the country level, no link between the democratic strength and quality of the countries on the one hand and member engagement on the other could be identified. Instead, characteristics at the organizational and individual level were found to be relevant. More concretely, (1) the size of the sports club, (2) the socioeconomic background of the members (gender, age and education), and (3) the way in which the members are involved in and affiliated to the club (engaged in voluntary work, participating in social activities, etc.) were found to be significantly correlated with the engagement of members in the association democracy.

Regular voluntary engagement is a basic resource for sports clubs that may also promote social cohesion and active citizenship. The satisfaction of volunteers is an imperative factor in this engagement, and the purpose of this article is to explore individual and organizational determinants of volunteer satisfaction in sports clubs. Theoretically, our study builds on the actor-theory concepts where volunteer satisfaction depends on subjective evaluations of expectations and experiences in a sports club ('logic of situation'), so that positive evaluations lead to higher satisfaction and, hopefully, retention of volunteers. This research uses a sample of 8131 volunteers from 642 sports clubs in 10 European countries, and is the first analysis to combine determinants at the level of the club and the volunteer (multilevel). Results show that the most important determinants of satisfaction are the conditions of volunteering (recognition, support, leadership and material incentives) and the workload of volunteers. Surprisingly, club characteristics, size or having paid staff are not significant determinants of volunteer satisfaction. The results of this analysis can assist more effective volunteer management in sports clubs that are facing challenges of individualization and professionalization.
