The concept of volunteerism revolves around the voluntary participation or involvement of a person in any agency, community or organization. The purpose of such involvement is to generate benefits not only at a personal level but  for the organization or community where their person volunteers. A trend has been observed that the demand of volunteers has increased dramatically in different sectors but the number of potential volunteers are decreasing dramatically. Moreover, it has become quite a challenge for organizations to retain their volunteers. In this regard, the current study was aimed at finding out how the factors of work climate and intrinsic motivation influence the continuance intention of the sports volunteers in China in the presence of three mediating variables, attitude, emotional exhaustion and volunteer satisfaction. The quantitative data has been gathered from 344 sports volunteers from China through survey questionnaires and has been analyzed statistically. The results of analysis have indicated that the impact of work climate on continuance intention is significant and positive. However, the impact of intrinsic motivation on continuance intention is found to be insignificant. In case of mediating impact, the results indicate that attitude and volunteer satisfaction have significant mediating impact on the relationship of both intrinsic motivation and work climate with continuance intention. However, the mediating impact of emotional exhaustion is significant only in case of work climate and insignificant in case of intrinsic motivation.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
