Value, satisfaction and loyalty in volunteerism. Application to a religious megaevent
This paper presents a study of the volunteer as an essential agent in the success of any event, and offers recommendations for improving management of megaevents. To achieve this goal we propose a structural model that analyses the multidimensionality of the value concept as antecedent of perceived value, satisfaction and loyalty. The study sample consists of volunteers who participated in the World Youth Day held in Madrid in 2011, obtaining a total number of 1427 cases. The results support all the hypotheses presented in the proposed model. Thus, it confirms that the multidimensionality of the value (spirituality, social value, play and efficiency) is an antecedent of perceived value whil…

Measuring socio-demographic differences in volunteers with a value-based index: illustration in a mega event
The phenomenon of volunteering can be analysed as a consumer experience through the concept of value as a trade-off between benefits and costs. In event volunteering, both the expected value (pre-experienced) and the perceived value (post-experienced) of volunteering can be assessed. With this purpose, an online quantitative survey is conducted with a sample of 711 volunteers in a religious mega event, with questions related to five dimensions of their experience: efficiency, social value, play, spirituality and time spent. These five scales, properly tested are used for building a multidimensional index of both the expected and perceived value of the volunteer experience. ANOVAs test show …

Conceptualización y medición del valor percibido: consensos y controversias
[ES] Estudiar el concepto Valor resulta ser necesario y útil en Marketing por ser un concepto endémico para la disciplina y relevante para la profesión. Sin embargo, a pesar de décadas de investigación, la doctrina se lamenta de un cierto círculo vicioso sobre las dificultades conceptuales y de medición del Valor. Este trabajo revisa estas dificultades y las categoriza en torno a acuerdos y controversias, evidenciando sus efectos en la compleja red nomológica construida a lo largo de los años en torno al Valor. Además, explora empíricamente tres modelos causales de relaciones entre dimensiones de Valor, Satisfacción y Lealtad, testados con PLS sobre una muestra de 340 clientes de hotel. Los…
