Chapter One: Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
Volunteer management has emerged as a critical component of organizing large-scale events globally. In Gombe LGA, the involvement of volunteers in event planning and execution significantly contributes to reducing operational costs and enhancing community participation. Volunteers bring diverse skills, energy, and local knowledge, often serving as the backbone of event success. However, managing volunteers effectively involves strategic recruitment, training, coordination, and motivation. Despite the evident role of volunteers in large-scale events, challenges such as inadequate training, lack of incentives, and poor communication have often undermined their contributions. This study seeks to evaluate the strategies and effectiveness of volunteer management in organizing large-scale events within Gombe LGA, focusing on identifying best practices and areas for improvement.
1.2 Statement of the Problem
While volunteers are indispensable to the success of large-scale events, ineffective management often leads to reduced morale, inefficiency, and event failures. In Gombe LGA, there is limited research on how volunteer management practices impact the overall success of large-scale events. Issues such as unclear roles, insufficient training, and inadequate recognition of volunteers persist, potentially affecting their commitment and the outcomes of these events. This study addresses these challenges by examining the effectiveness of volunteer management practices in the context of large-scale events in Gombe LGA.
