Now in a fully revised and updated third edition, Managing People in Sport Organizations outlines the theory and practice of managing people within a strategic framework.
A complete textbook for any human resource management (HRM) in sport course, it explains how sport managers can get the best out of their teams and organizations, develop their professional skills, and create a sustainable performance culture. Structured around the functional flow of HRM practice - from recruitment to rewards - the book introduces every key area of people management, including strategy, planning, training, performance management, and managing change. This new edition includes expanded coverage of topics such as e-HRM and post-COVID workplaces. There is also a new foundational chapter focused on the individual in the organization that sets the context for their effective management.
With international cases, examples, and data included in every chapter, this is essential reading for any sport management student or HR professional working in sport.
