Chapter 2 in Organizational Behavior in Sport Management, 2021, pp 13-22 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract Organizational behavior is heavily influenced by internal factors such as organizational culture, size, and access to resources. External factors, including societal influences, politics, and employee identification, further alter how organizations interact with stakeholders, including employees and volunteers. This chapter defines and categorizes sport organizations as unique organizations and deserving of study within the broader management disciplines. As students read through this chapter, they will be introduced to important concepts which will be discussed throughout the remainder of this book.
