Students revealed that expression of values is the factor that better predicted the level of voluntary motivation (M= 6.34) and the lowest (M=5.41) goes to the factor of extrinsic reward. The Mann-Whitney analysis is used to identify motivation factors to be involved in sports activity between gender. The results also indicated that gender had significant effect with a p-value is p<0.05 is the factors of love of sport, extrinsic reward, expression of value, and career orientation. The theoretical and functional effects of these studies are discussed in more detail. The implication not only benefits to the volunteer itself but also towards volunteer organizations will next have a better management process as this research gives additional knowledge for them to plan, organize, lead and control the sport volunteer event appropriately.
