Tiivistelmä
The purpose of this thesis was to comprehensively assess a model that would help student volunteers at the Tampere Chamber Music festival in their overall involvement and performance levels. Over the years, the festival has been somewhat disjointed on the volunteering level owing to the numerous tasks handled by volunteers and project managers. They found the activities extremely tedious and craved for a better way to organize the festival so that there would be no need for anyone to feel demotivated. Hence, this thesis was to examine the organization, motivation, demotivation, and leadership at the Tampere music festivals with particular attention on student volunteers. Furthermore, the festival requires an all-encompassing model that will ensure meeting its target. Therefore, this study was intent on providing that model that would bring a solution to the situation and ensure the festival would be a success going forward.
The theoretical background of this thesis was on volunteer motivation, the reason for their demotivation, team organization, volunteer management, and leadership. The research design used was exploratory qualitative research design. The collection of data was by semi-structured interview questions generated and developed for the study by the researcher. The researcher used thematic analysis for the research. Research and interviews were conducted by visiting TAMK to see one of the interviewees and via skype. The researcher sent a total of ten interview invitations to past participants of the festival, and only three people accepted.
The study revealed that people were willing to give their very all if the organization of the festival was right, done on time, and had a model with which to work. The major complaints were the over-reliance on a model that did not work. There was poor organization due to late planning and lack of motivation from student volunteers. Creating a very conducive environment that would ensure people were motivated to make sacrifices for such a great cause.
Tampere Chamber Music festival can use the result of this study to engage and manage student volunteers properly and have a model in place for active organization. This model can serve as a template in the future.
