Book Organizational Behavior in Sport Management presents classical
research in organizational behavior as well as up-to-date knowledge
from the field of sport management. The authors offer information
on individual, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and organizational
processes that are fundamental to working within a sport
organization, placing equal emphasis on what managers of sport
organizations need to understand about human behavior and what each
person brings to the work situation in terms of his or her own
attitudes, thoughts, perceptions, and skills. The authors emphasize
empowering employees and understanding their needs and desires
regarding work, as opposed to managing employees in one particular
way. With this in mind, the authors discuss the roles of sport
organization administrators and executives, volunteers, employees,
and players and coaches of sport teams, exploring how they behave
independently as well as how they interact with each other. An

answers the key questions of why we do what we do at work, why
others behave as they do, and how our interpretation of events and
behaviors is subject to our own biases. In the process, students
will gain an understanding of the most important organizational
behavior topics and get a glimpse of how they could successfully
function in a sport organization.
