Chapter 7 in Organizational Behavior in Sport Management, 2021, pp 71-80 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract This chapter presents an underutilized topic in sport management: labor. Within this chapter, we take a broad view of the impacts on labor and how labor impacts sport organization employees. The chapter starts with the history of labor and how it has evolved in America. Much of the content in this section is not specifically sport-related, but it is nonetheless essential to have an understanding of how labor is utilized. We then discuss how the law has shaped labor throughout history. We also explore the debate of collegiate student-athletes as employees and what that would mean for the collegiate sports industry. Lastly, the concept of emotional labor is put forth to demonstrate how not all labor is physical.
