The sport and leisure sectors possess unique characteristics that
pose particular challenges for managers and human resource
professionals. The age profile of workers, seasonality, the
pressure to achieve short-term results, media intrusion, wide
differences in pay between elite and community levels, and the
importance of competition and consumer (fan) behaviour, all combine
to set sport and leisure apart from 'mainstream' business and
management. Human Resource Management in the Sport and Leisure
Industry is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to HRM in
sport and leisure that examines these challenges in the context of
organisational structure, systems, and individual and group
behaviour, encouraging the reader to develop a strategic approach
to HRM, and emphasising the importance of reflective professional
practice. The book explores the full range of key issues, themes
and concepts in contemporary HRM, including: the labour market in
sport and leisure personal skills in HRM recruitment and selection
learning, training and development evaluation and performance
appraisal change management coaching and mentorship. Covering
private, public and voluntary contexts, the book includes a wide
range of examples and cases from the real world of sport and
leisure management. Each chapter also includes highlighted
definitions of key concepts, review questions, summaries and
learning objectives, to guide student learning and help managers
develop their professional skills. Effective human resource
management and development is essential for business success, and
this book is therefore important reading for any student or
professional working in sport and leisure management.
