Virtual cycling in sports clubs
This study investigates voluntary sports clubs' varied beliefs about whether and how virtual sports can be a useful tool to achieve both competitive sports performance goals and sport-for-all goals. For this purpose, this study also explores archetypes' beliefs about virtual sports. We draw on three theoretical concepts: archetypes, institutional logics and innovation adoption categories. Factor analysis, clustering and parametric tests have been…
From league champion to community champion
Sport clubs traditionally focus on essential tasks such as organising local competitions, facilitating youth sport, and managing their volunteers. This primary focus can sometimes make it challenging to prioritise additional social initiatives such as developing more inclusive sports programs for disadvantaged communities. Despite the inherent difficulties, expanding the scope of sport clubs to embrace social inclusivity can significantly enhance…
From Financial Statement Fraud to Asset Misappropriation
Nonprofit sports clubs are susceptible to fraud, particularly to asset misappropriation and financial statement fraud. Fraud is often committed due to its perceived convenience. Organizational vulnerabilities can create convenience, allowing fraud to occur. This is known as opportunity convenience. Organizational vulnerabilities that increase opportunity convenience can be structural (e.g. organizational capacity, control) or cultural. Yet, the r…
Volunteering in community‐based sports clubs
Sports club volunteerism transcends mere organizational support, enriching the lives of volunteers and the wider community. Despite its profound impact, many sports clubs struggle with effectively mobilizing and retaining volunteers. Hence, this study utilized partial correlational and cluster analyses to explore how volunteers' affective commitment (i.e., emotional attachment) and normative commitment (i.e., moral duty) relate to their work effo…
Stuck between medals and participation
The results of our study indicated that the Sport-for-All projects of performance-oriented federations are often more superficial compared to Sport-for-All oriented federations, and that the latter federations play an important role in attaining public health targets. Moreover, policymakers should consider how they can optimize the role of the performance-oriented federations in the Sport-for-All delivery (e.g., they could function as a bridge to…
Toward a Refined Insight Into the Importance of Volunteers’ Motivations for Need-Based Experiences, Job Satisfaction, Work Effort, and Turnover Intentions in Nonprofit Sports Clubs
Extensive variable-centered research guided by Self-Determination Theory (SDT) has provided insights into volunteers’ motivations in nonprofit and voluntary sports clubs. However, volunteers may have multiple reasons for engaging in volunteer work. By adopting a person-centered approach, the present study aimed to identify volunteers’ motivational profiles in sports clubs based on combinations of different motivational regulations as distinguishe…
The Relation between Physical Education Teachers’ (De-)Motivating Style, Students’ Motivation, and Students’ Physical Activity
Research suggests that physical education (PE) teachers can play a crucial role in the promotion of students' physical activity. Grounded in Self-Determination Theory, this study investigated how students' perceptions of PE teachers (de-)motivating style relate to students' device-based physical activity levels during PE. Moreover, it was examined whether students' motivation plays an intervening role in this relation and whether students' physic…
Volunteers Managing Volunteers
Against the background of declining volunteering rates in nonprofit and voluntary organizations, this study examined the relationship between the volunteer board members’ (de)motivating style and factors that influence volunteers’ motives to stay volunteer, i.e., volunteers’ motivation and group-task cohesion. To this end, we relied on Self-Determination Theory. Results indicated that the volunteers’ perception of the board members’ motivating st…
