Tai priklauso nuo socialinių ir ekonominių sąlygų, atitinkamos kultūros, paremtos tradicijomis bei vertybėmis, kai individas yra mokomas, ugdomas tapti doru, visuomenišku piliečiu. Pasak Anot S. J. Ellis (2002), žmonės savanoriauja dėl daugybės priežasčių, ypač norėdami padėti kitiems ir gauti šiek tiek naudos sau. Savanoriška veikla įvairiose organizacijose: psichologinės pagalbos, neįgalių ir senyvų žmonių priežiūros, Raudonojo kryžiaus draugijos, yra gerai žinoma, tačiau savanoriavimas sporto sektoriuje Lietuvoje dar nėra populiarus, nors ši laisvalaikio praleidimo forma sparčiai plinta. Savanorių darbo organizavimas reikalauja didelės motyvacijos. Savanorystė sporte- plačiai paplitęs ir vis labiau populiarėjantis reiškinys pasaulyje.

Sporto savanorių motyvavimas yra svarbi sporto vadybos dalis, kuri pateikia ir sunkumų, ir teigiamų galimybių sporto organizacijų vadovams. Norint išlaikyti savanorius, reikia nuolatos juos motyvuoti skatinančiomis priemonėmis. / Voluntary contribution to the labor market is important in all developed countries belonging from the social and economic conditions, also appropriate culture based on democratic traditions and values, when the individual is trained and educated in the spiritual way to offer public satisfaction.
