‘We can do it’: Community,resistance, social solidarity,and long-term volunteering at a sport event     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(2):256-267

Much research on volunteers has focused on who the volunteers are, and what motivates them on an individual level. This study, however, aims to contextualize the long-term commitment found in a whole community of volunteers and to explain this pattern of collective volunteering not in terms of individual motivations but in terms of broader social processes. Data gathered from interviews with volunteers in Vikersund, Norway, and the analysis of local and national press coverage in the years leading up to the 2013 World Cup in Ski flying in Vikersund suggest that long-term volunteering can be understood in terms of (i) a high level of social integration (socialization, institutionalization); (ii) the creation of a collective identity focused around the ski flying hill; and (iii) the maintenance and reinforcement of strong community identity and social solidarity by local resistance to the perceived hostility of outside organizations. This focus on the broader community/social processes has implications for researchers examining sport event volunteers as well as managers of recurring sport events wishing to retain volunteers.  相似文献   

Consumer attitudes towards ambush marketing     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(2):280-290

Studies of consumer attitudes towards ambush marketing are in conclusive and have not investigated whether those attitudes are industry specific. Rather than just refer to ‘an organisation’ (i.e. non-industry specific), an industry-specific approach specifies the organisation's core business activity. We propose that individuals expect a higher standard of advertising from banks as compared to beer companies and that this would be reflected in more negative attitudes towards banks that engage in questionable promotional practices. A demographically and geographically representative sample of New Zealanders (n = 514) was surveyed one week following the final match of the 2011 Rugby World Cup. Three items measuring consumer attitudes towards ambush marketing were adapted from the work of Portlock and Rose (2009). These three items were further adapted to specify bank or beer companies. The results indicate that most individuals perceive ambush marketing as unethical and a practice that organisations should not utilise. However, no evidence was found to support the proposition that individuals hold banks to a higher standard than beer companies in terms of ambush marketing. Demographic variables – age, gender and location – were not significantly associated with differing attitudes.  相似文献   

Developing a performance management framework for a national sport organisation     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(2):308-316

Organisational performance has become an imperative management function within the non-profit sport context as increased pressure is placed on these organisations to provide a quality service to stakeholders in an accountable and transparent manner. The case presented here examines the issue of developing and implementing a robust performance management tool that can potentially help national sport organisation managers with the multitude of performance challenges now facing these organisations. The theoretical underpinnings of a performance management tool are presented followed by background information to a fictional national sport organisation (Racquetball Australia) and views from the CEO of the organisation in relation to the topic of performance management. The case is written from a fictional perspective so that instructors may adapt the case to suit the geographical context in which the class is taking place.  相似文献   

What about sport? A public health perspective on leisure-time physical activity     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(1):20-31

In an effort to determine how sport could be better positioned on the public health agenda, three community physical activity programs aimed at combating obesity were examined to determine the benefits residents seek through their participation. Using a case study approach and critical framework, assumptions and presumed knowledge of these public health programs were drawn out through site visits and interviews. A total of 42 interviews with community leaders, program organizers, and residents in each community were conducted. The results reveal that new approaches need to be considered for promoting greater levels of participation in U.S. community sport and other leisure-time physical activity programs. Instead of the commonly emphasized benefits of physical health or appearance, the results demonstrate that hedonic rewards and opportunities for social interaction are two overlooked, yet primary benefits sought by participants. This research suggests that concerted efforts to focus on the hedonic feelings and social aspects can potentially lead to increased sport participation and holistic health. Such an approach may help better address vital public health policy issues while demonstrating the distinctiveness and utility of sport.  相似文献   

Managing sport for social change: The state of play     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(1):1-5

Sport-for-development (SFD) provides a platform for sport to be used as a tool or “hook” to contribute to positive outcomes in areas including economic development, social inclusion, cultural cohesion, healthy lifestyles, education, gender equity, as well as reconciliation and peacebuilding. The area of sport for social change (SFSC) represents a sub-field of SFD that uses sport as a catalyst to build social capacity and develop socially and physically healthy communities. The Managing Sport for Social Change special issue of Sport Management Review brings together a collection of conceptual advances, empirical research papers and teaching case studies from a range of social and cultural perspectives, with a focus on managing sport for social change; aimed at engaging critically with sport management theory and praxis, and discussing associated practical and policy implications. Theoretical gaps and recommendations for future research, including: local engagement, innovative research methodology, and a broadening of the scope of research are also discussed.  相似文献   

Modelling the decision to volunteer in organised sports     

《Sport Management Review》2015,18(3):448-463

Using a heterodox economic approach, the purpose of this paper is twofold: to analyse the determinants of (1) volunteering in organised sports, and (2) time committed to that volunteering. By means of regression analysis of secondary data from a nation-wide volunteer survey with two waves (2004: n = 15,000; 2009: n = 20,005), it was established that human capital, female gender and the motive of shaping society had a negative influence on the decision to volunteer while the number of engagements in other volunteering had a positive effect. Time committed to volunteering was determined by male gender, having children, meeting people, club membership, shaping society and number of voluntary engagements. The volunteer workforce is thus very heterogeneous; however, sport club managers should recruit volunteers in particular amongst existing members.  相似文献   

寻回身体的记忆：清末民初女子体育教育的身体社会学读解     

阳煜华  张卓  吴广亮 《成都体育学院学报》2015,(5):49-54

清末民初,女性的身体被一场关乎国家民族生死存亡的危机抬进了历史的前台。以国族利益为名,对“女子”的身体进行了改造,以致近代女子体育教育的勃兴。通过选取这个独具身体社会学意涵的历史切片,对女性通过接受体育教育、自觉萌发身体意识,以及国家通过建立对新的身体规训制度重塑“新女性”的转折期进行纵深考量。本研究主要采用文献资料法和逻辑分析法,得到以下结论：教会女子学校和国人自办学校是女子体育发生、发展的两个主要阵地,国家通过制度设计、教科书编撰和师资培养予以制度保障。大多数女子们的身体由身困家中到身为国有、身为国用,渐入身心分离之境地。  相似文献   

文献综述的归类划分与特征辨析--体育学硕士研究生能力培养和学术规范的反思     

王广虎  贺鑫森  王岗 《成都体育学院学报》2015,(6):1-8

文献综述依据综述的目的和文本的性质可分为：学术性文献综述与研究性文献综述。学术性文献综述,是在学术层面、因学术问题而作的文献综述,其成果可以直接在学术刊物上发表。学术性文献综述具有以下文本特征：强调权威性以保证学术基调和保持学术品味;强调经典性以明晰学术走向和把握学术格局;强调前沿性以判断学术态势和突破学术僵持;强调导向性以凸显学术预测和实现学术引领。研究性文献综述,不是相对独立的、完整意义上的研究,而是为保证研究流程有理、有据、有效进行的必要学术准备,具有较大的研究从属性,通常是不能直接或不宜直接在学术刊物上发表。对于硕士研究生的培养,研究性文献综述具有以下阶段特征：选题阶段立足发现问题;开题阶段立足提出问题;结题阶段立足认识问题。  相似文献

缑小燕 《北京体育大学学报》2015,38(5):108-114

摘要：鉴于当前世界竞技体育项目的高速发展,为了更好的适应新形势变化,针对表现难美性项群中自由体操、单跳、蹦床、跳水和空中技巧五个项目中,身体动作的主因子“空中身体翻转动作”进行分析研究,目的是通过该研究,能够对项目间的相互借鉴、以及项目技术的相互支撑起到一定的帮助作用,并对项目的发展具有一定的实际意义。文章通过文献资料法、访谈法、录像分析法等科学研究方法进行系统分析,得到以下结论：1）空中身体翻转动作是运动员身体在空中围绕运动轴完成单向或多向翻腾和转动的技术动作,是五个表现难美性项目的核心技术。2）依时间的递进进行观察和描述,一个完整的身体翻转动作包含起动加速、起跳、空中翻转、落停4个相互连接的技术环节。3）自由体操和单跳的空中身体翻转动作常以多式样的空中身体翻腾转体难度动作直接连接另一个空中身体翻转难度动作。4）空中身体翻转技术动作的递进式发展历程可分为五个发展阶段：单一翻腾阶段;单一的翻腾或旋转阶段;复合翻转阶段;多翻多转及“叠加”翻转阶段和自由体操与单跳进入突出平面挂串连接阶段。5）发展表现难美性项群空中身体翻转动作的对策设计为：及时研究、积极适应国际评分规则的变化,科学把握空中身体翻转动作的有序性发展规律, 主动发掘空中身体翻转技术动作的创新途径。  相似文献
