Also, the research findings indicated that spiritual intelligence has positively and indirectly effect on work involvement by mediating of identity styles. Therefore, spiritual intelligence improvement can increase work involvement of sport volunteers through improvement in identity items; so if managers pay attention to these items at the time of attracting volunteers, they can design better training programs and increase volunteers’ dependence on the environment. In this way, they can change temporary and event volunteers to permanent and traditional volunteers.
