Evaluación de la calidad percibida de los programas de voluntariado deportivo universitario al contexto mexicano, caso: Universiada Nacional.

Abstract

Abstract The objective of this research is to validate a tool that allows evaluating the perceived quality of university volunteer programs in the Mexican sports context. For data analysis, the statistical software SPSS v.22 and the LISREL 8.8 program were used. The internal consistency analyzes, exploratory factor analysis (AFE) and confirmatory factor analysis (AFC) were performed with two different samples. The instrument used was the QVOLSPORT mx, which is composed of 49 items and 6 factors: 1. Organization of the volunteer work, 2. Person in charge of the area, 3. Specific tasks of the area, 4. Logistics, 5. Installation and materials and 6. Personal assessment. The sampling was intentional for convenience, the participants are university sports volunteers of the National Universiade of the year 2017 and 2019 of both genders. It was applied to a sample of 778 participants distributed in 378 participants in the 2017 Universiade, where 252 were men and 126 women, while for the 2019 Universiade 400 participated, where 238 were men and 162 women, with a range of age between 18 and 31 years (M = 21.18). The results showed that Cronbach's Alpha by factors is above .70; the indicators of relevance were adequate, the 6 factors obtained explain 59.60% of the total variance. The fit and error indices are satisfactory, CFI = 0.982, NNFI = 0.981 and RMSEA = 0.057, so the model fits. It is concluded that the QVOLSPORT mx instrument has adequate psychometric properties and meets the needs of sports volunteering in the university community, enabling continuous improvement in sports volunteering programs. It is confirmed that the instrument is valid to evaluate the perceived quality of university sports volunteering programs in the Mexican sports context.
