This book examines personnel economics within the context of the
professional sport industry. Sport is an effective industry in
which to empirically test theories of personnel economics,
primarily because the employer-employee relationship in sport is
much more visible and transparent than in almost any other
industry. Researchers benefit from having data on a host of
variables pertaining to individual employees (i.e. players), such
as their age, race, national origin, and experience. Researchers
also have data on each employee's performance, on their salary, and
on who their co-workers (teammates) and managers (coaches) are. The
chapters are organized around the core functional areas of
personnel economics and cover all aspects of the employment
relationship in sport - from recruiting and selection, to pay and
performance, to work team design. Each chapter contains a thorough
literature review that provides the reader with a sense of the
breadth and depth of the work being done in the area, and with a
sense as to how the literature can move forward, both in a sport
and non-sport context. The book is suitable for an advanced
undergraduate course right through to a PhD-level field-course in
both management and economics. Academic researchers in the fields
of sports economics, personnel economics, human resource
management, strategic management and sport management will also
find the book of interest. Contributors include: D. Berri, C.
Deutscher, B. Frick, L.H. Kahane, N. Longley, J.G. Maxcy, J. Prinz,
R. Simmons, D. Weimar
