Abstract : Social Capital of Volunteers of A Classical Music Festival: How Is It Related with Participation in Other Events and Activities?
Saito Kinen Festival (SKF) is one of the most-known classical music festivals in Japan, directed by a conductor Seiji Ozawa. The SKF is supported by more than 300 volunteers every year.
Our question is whether one’s participation in SKF as a volunteer will encourage him/her to participate in other events or activities in their local community or city.
We conducted a survey in the volunteers group. The questionnaire included 17 position generators, the questions of participation in the events or activities in their community and city, and other questions.
The results of factor analysis and multiple regression analysis show the following.
1) According to the analysis of the position generators, three indices, such as (1) the total number of accessible persons, (2) the maximal prestige score among the accessible positions, and (3) the accessible range of positions (max - min), construct one factor. Thus, we call the factor "social capital" factor.
2) As social capital increases, their participation in the events held in art or natural museums does not increase.
3) As social capital increases, their participation in the community activities and the other volunteer activities increases.
Those findings indicate that one’s volunteer activity in a field equally encourages his/her participation in the similar events or activities, but s/he may need existence of different kinds of people in his/her network to participate in other types of events or activities.
