“…Moreover, the research has proved that sport organizations run by transformational leaders achieve organizational goals, teamwork and organizational excellence (Lasrado and Kassem, 2021). Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that transformational leadership has a significant effect on the organizational learning process and on organizations' commitment to change through the improvement of innovation, performance and competitiveness in the service sector like sport services firms (Martínez-Moreno et al. , 2021).…”

PurposeThe aim of the present study is to examine the impact of human resource (HR) practices (human resource empowerment, organizational culture and transformational leadership) on innovation activities as well as the effect of innovation activities on perceived financial performance within sport services firms.Design/methodology/approachThe proposed relationships were examined using empirical data from 172 managers of Greek sport services firms. Seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) analysis was used to investigate the role of human resource management (HRM) practices on innovation activities and whether innovation activities affected the perceived financial performance.FindingsThe results of the study indicated that HRM practices, such as human resource empowerment, organizational culture and transformational leadership, significantly impact innovation activities and subsequently innovation activities have a significant and positive effect on perceived financial performance as measured by satisfaction levels in relation to specific key performance indicators (KPIs) such as profit, ROI, sales volume and market share.Practical implicationsThis study presents useful theoretical and managerial implications that can be used by sport service firms to assess the effects of HRM practices on innovation activities and perceived financial performance.Originality/valueThis study contributes to the literature on several merits. Firstly, the authors jointly estimate the impact of HRM practices on innovation and its concurrent effect on perceived financial performance, which is not methodologically considered before. Secondly, the authors incorporate a more thorough measure of perceived financial performance including four dimensions of performance, and finally the authors analyze a larger sample of sport services firms relative to previous studies, leading into more concrete conclusion on the research hypotheses.

The results of a literature survey on the application of management science fields to sport management are presented. The most prominent Critical Success Factors and Enablers for their achievement, identified in the SM maturity assessment frameworks are specified. Existing published work in sport management per critical success factor and enabler category is also presented thus providing a theoretical basis for their significance in the sport management field. A novel holistic sports management maturity assessment framework is proposed. The framework is based on and includes, a ten-by-ten matrix, the most prominent critical success factors and enablers identified in the literature survey. The proposed framework is then applied to the most known sport management competencies accreditation framework called COSMA. The result of this application is a proposed novel “tracking matrix”. Both the proposed maturity frameworks and the tracking matrix can be used by both academics and practitioners in the SM field.
