The desire of any organization is to have the entire staff working
from the same playbook toward a common goal (i.e., “the
championship”). Given individuals’ varying attitudes, beliefs,
skills, and motivations, it’s a goal not easily achieved.
_Organizational Behavior in Sport Management_, Second Edition,
examines the individual, intrapersonal, interpersonal, and
organizational processes fundamental to working within sport
organizations, placing equal emphasis on what managers need to
understand about human behavior and what each employee brings to the
workplace. This updated second edition blends classical research in
the field of organizational behavior with the latest knowledge and
best practices in the field of sport management. Organized into four
major parts—Organizational Behavior in Sport Organizations, Managing
the Individual, Managing the Group, and Managing the
Organization—the text provides a foundational and contemporary
examination of the inner workings of sport organizations. It offers a
deep study of how all who work in sport organizations—whether they
are administrators, executives, employees, players, coaches, or
volunteers—operate independently, and it explores how these
individuals interact with each other in the work setting. Highlighted
throughout the text are recent examples of how COVID-19; social
movements; remote work; and diversity, equity, and inclusion
initiatives have changed the nature of work and moved organizations to
place greater emphasis on employees’ individual needs, desires,
interests, empowerment, and satisfaction in their roles. In addition,
numerous real-life examples from sport organizations in the United
States and throughout the world provide practical application and
underscore key concepts. Each chapter features In the Boardroom
sidebars, discussion questions, and a case study designed to help
illustrate particular topics and facilitate focused discussion in
class. The case studies are also included in the instructor guide for
ease of assigning to students. New to this edition, a test package,
chapter quizzes, and presentation package will aid in classroom
preparation. _Organizational Behavior in Sport Management_ answers the
key questions of why people do what they do at work, why others behave
as they do, and how a person’s interpretation of events and
behaviors is subject to their own biases. Students will gain an
understanding of the most important organizational behavior concepts
and a glimpse of how they might see themselves functioning in a sport
organization today.
