“…In an examination of 24 competency-based studies in English on sport management, we are able to assess the cultural differences examined in a range of context, for example, in two studies conducted to identify the competencies needed to manage sport clubs in Germany and the US, results may be compared to consider cultural and other differences. Sports skill while considered as an important competency in the US, was not significant in Germany (Horch & Schuette, 2003;Lambrecht, 1987). The findings support the notion that for these 24 studies at least, the importance of competencies is perceived differently in different local contexts and thus locally based analysis is necessary to identify culturally specific features.…”

“…First, the examination of previous competency studies in sport management in the systematic review process was able to develop a generic list of competencies (Afthinos, 1993;Barcelona & Ross, 2004;Case & Branch, 2003;Chen, 1993;Cheng, 1993;Coalter, et al, 1990;Cuskelly & Auld, 1991;K.

“…First, such studies mainly focused on particular industry settings neglecting an understanding of generalizable competencies to perform a sport management role across a wide range of settings (which is a concern of many academics whose 'products' operate in a diverse range of sport industry settings), such as sport clubs (K. A. Davis, 1987;Horch & Schuette, 2003;Lambrecht, 1987), sport centers (Kim, 1997), sport facility settings (Case & Branch, 2003;Skipper, 1990) and sport events (Peng, 2000). Although Barcelona and Ross (2004) argued that sport management professionals working in different settings often require different skills and knowledge, other researchers have argued that sport managers must possess generalized skills to be able to adapt to many types of settings (L. M. Jamieson, 1991;Lambrecht, 1987).…”

The study of management competencies and their application in the field of sport management has an established tradition. It is only relatively recently however that concern to consider the culturally specific context of competency evaluation has developed in the mainstream management literature and little work has been developed in the sport management field to address cultural specificity in respect of competencies. In addition the distinction between those competencies valued by sport management educators and by sport management practitioners is a relatively neglected topic. This study evaluates the perceptions of the critical competencies required of sport managers in Taiwan developing and applying a locally based tool for evaluation of competencies in sport management, and in particular evaluates the differences between the perceptions of sport management academics and practitioners in Taiwan. The results of this study highlight cultural differences between the Taiwanese and other cultural contexts in terms of the perceived importance of particular competencies, and have implications for sport management professional development and training.

“…According to the literature, management and leadership complement each other in action and frequently overlap within a single individual [19,20]. Investigations on managerial leadership competencies of sports managers have been focussed on recreational sport [4,21], sports clubs [5,22], fitness centres [23], sports events [24], and sports federations (5). The number of the investigations in this field is increasing, however, more research is needed on sport management to contribute to this area and the respective curriculum definition [22,25].…”

Abstract:The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Managerial Behaviour Instrument, Portuguese version, for the Brazilian sport federations. The sample was composed of 263 members of federations, including managerial (39.5%), technical (35.1%), executive (20.6%) bodies and others (4.9%). The study used descriptive, reliability and confirm-atory factor analyses. Values of internal consistency for the sub-factors ranged from 0.83 to 0.92, correlation between 0.37 and 0.79, and adequate values for six indices (χ 2 , χ 2/ df, CFI, NNFI, SRMR, RMSEA) of the global adjustment of the meas-urement model. Thus, the Portuguese version of the Managerial Behaviour Instrument has acceptable values for its psycho-metric properties that allow researchers to use it to study leadership competencies of sports managers.
