Understanding the motives and characteristics of voluntary workers would enable organizers to successfully recruit and retain highly committed volunteers. However, the purpose of them to be involved in voluntary works with high commitment cannot be determined and they do not have any specific solid reason to contribute to this area. There are four bases of commitment that have been identified which are affective commitment, normative commitment, continuance commitment high sacrifice, and continuance commitment low alternative. Based on the findings from descriptive statistics, the result of the study implied that factors that influence sports volunteer’s commitment to sports events are an affective commitment. The value of affective commitment is (M = 4.42, SD = 0.62) and it showed the highest mean value among the four bases of commitment. The other three types of commitment showed no significant difference between gender in factors of commitment among sports volunteers. This is due to p-value = 0.21-0.44 > 0.05. Moreover, there was no significant relationship between age and commitment shown because the r = 0.06 which shows the strength of the relationship is low, and the p-value was p = 0.46 > 0.05.
