“…Reflecting previous reciprocal knowledge transfer (Ayoagi, Cox & McGuire, 2008;Fletcher, 2010;Fletcher & Wagstaff, 2009) and practitioners involvement in both domains (e.g., Jones, 2002;Warriner, 2008), one area of promise lies in organizational research's 'change management' (hereafter CM) literature. Defined as "the process of continually renewing an organization's direction, structure, and capabilities to serve the ever-changing needs of external and internal customers" (Moran and Brightman, 2001, p.111), its conceptual overlap with culture change in elite sport performance teams is clear.…”

“…Such issues may partly explain the scarcity of emotional intelligence research in sport. However, given the parallels identified between business and sport (see, for a recent review, Fletcher, 2011), and with the proposed importance of controlling emotions in sport (Jones, 2003; Vallerand & Blanchard, 2000), it is not surprising that researchers have reinforced the need to examine emotional intelligence in sport (Latimer et al, 2007; Stough et al, 2009).…”

This study aimed to contribute to a growing theoretical body of literature relating to the role of emotional intelligence abilities and emotion regulation strategies in creating optimally functioning in sport organizations. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 21 participants (athletes, coaches, administrators, national performance directors, and chief executive officers) representing 5 national sport organizations. Key emotion abilities (i.e., identifying, processing and comprehending, and managing emotions) associated with the use of specific experience and expression regulation strategies (e.g., forward-tracking, back-tracking, reappraisal, suppression, and impulse control) were identified, providing important insights into how such emotion abilities may be developed within sport. Emotion abilities were found to be highly contextualized and appeared to influence regulation strategy selection through sociocultural norms present within organizations. Based on these findings, approaches to developing emotion abilities may be effective in facilitating organizational functioning by assisting individuals to perceive, process, comprehend, and manage emotions intelligently.

“…Sport psychology could be attributed to a few areas; on the one hand, sport psychology is a discipline that has been widely employed in understanding the performance and the general wellbeing of individuals [1], that focuses on aiding the athletes' training and practices for an improvement in their performance in future games. On the other hand, Fletcher pointed out that the whole management and marketing domain has much to study from sports psychology [2], this is because sporting events could alter consumers' intention to purchase by stimulating their moods and attitudes. In fact, sport psychology has become an important discipline in the development of a sports team, and among the most critical use of sport psychology is its ability to influence the consumer's consumption behaviour.…”
