- What makes the sports organization different from other
commercial organizations?
- How can managers in sport improve organizational
effectiveness?
Sport is a special kind of commercial enterprise. Whether it s
the ability to engender exceptionally high levels of commitment and
loyalty or the fact that the employees (athletes) are
simultaneously the service provider and the product, the sports
organization is different.
This comprehensive and accessible textbook examines the key
theories that are used to underpin organizational analysis in
sport, helping the student and practitioner to understand the
different types of behaviour that occur within the sports
organization and to develop ways of managing that behaviour more
effectively. The book explores behaviour on individual,
interpersonal, group and whole organization levels, and develops an
evidence-based framework for analysis built around key concepts
such as:
- motivation
- rewards and incentives
- interpersonal relationships
- power, influence and leadership
- culture and ideology
- conflict, disputes and grievances
- anxiety, stress and alienation
- equity and inclusion.
With international case-studies and data, review questions and
useful guides to further reading included in every chapter, no
other textbook develops critical skills or an awareness of ethical
issues as effectively as this book. It is important reading for all
students and practitioners working in sport, leisure or recreation
management."
