Agrahara is a mandatory social health insurance scheme providing coverage mostly for inpatient care for the public sector employees in Sri Lanka. For the 20 years of its’ existence there is no clear evidence on its’ effectiveness in reducing the financial burden due to ill health. We conducted a cross-sectional study among public sector employees (n = 500) in one district. Utilizing outpatient care was associated with a higher incidence of catastrophic health expenditure (29.4%) than utilizing inpatient care (7.2%). The poorest income quintile was at higher odds of facing catastrophic health expenditure than the richest. The social health insurance scheme with its lower utilization rate (38%) had only been able to protect 25% of households from catastrophe. Thus, alternative options to reduce out-of-pocket expenditure of outpatient care are needed. To improve the utilization rates of the social health insurance scheme, a wider benefit package, a cost-efficient delivery of government inpatient care, and improving awareness of the social health insurance policy are suggested.

Volunteers are considered a core component of special events and they have proved to be an asset to the execution of special events. Although motivations of volunteers have received a great deal of attention from many organizations and individuals in the private sector, little research has been done on motivations of volunteers in the public sector, or within the federal government. Therefore, this article identified motivational factors that prompt federal government workers to volunteer at a government-related special event. A survey was used to gather data from a volunteer sample of 263 individuals who had volunteered for public sector special events in recent years. Exploratory factor analysis and t test were employed to establish motivations that stimulate public sector employees to volunteer for special events and further determine the differences in motivation between females and males. The results showed that government workers mostly volunteer for purposive motive and external motive. In addition, gender played significant roles on egotistic and purposive motives. Thus, this research provides a unique theoretical contribution to research in event management by advancing our understanding of the process by which factors associated with motivation can lead to federal government workers volunteering at a government-related special event; subsequently, impacting how event planners and organizers of public sector special events market to and recruit volunteers.
