Are National Platforms Appropriate Vehicles To Tackle Match-fixing? A Process Tracing Study in Six Countries
How virtual sports became Sports
This study examines how sport governing bodies engage with the development of virtual cycling as a new sporting discipline. Drawing on theories of innovation diffusion, disruptive innovation theory and institutional theory, we examine how governing bodies in cycling and triathlon legitimise and delegitimise virtual cycling, as well as the different mechanisms they employ in their process. Data were collected through 16 semi-structured interviews …
A Scoping Review of the Causes and Consequences of Fraud in Sport
This study provides a structured overview of the literature published between 2010 and 2020 on the causes and consequences of fraud in sport using a systematic search strategy. Our results show that the current literature on this phenomenon is mostly focused on football as a specific type of sport, and on competition manipulation as a specific type of fraud. Guided by the routine activity theory, we observed that motivated offenders, suitable tar…
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…
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…

Who Participates in Running Events? Socio-Demographic Characteristics, Psychosocial Factors and Barriers as Correlates of Non-Participation—A Pilot Study in Belgium
In Western countries, the popularity of running events has increased exponentially during the last three decades. However, little is known about the profile of non-participants. This knowledge is crucial to tailor promotional actions towards people who are currently not participating. Therefore, this study aimed: (1) to examine which socio-ecological factors are related to participation in running events, (2) to give an overview of the barriers t…
Sustainability of the whole-community project '10,000 Steps'
10,000 Steps' could remain sustainable but design, organizational, and contextual barriers need consideration. Sustainability of '10,000 Steps' in organizations can occur in cycles rather than in ongoing projects. Future research should compare sustainability other whole-community PA projects with '10,000 Steps' to contrast sustainability of alternative models of whole-community PA projects. This would allow optimization of project elements and m…
Social capital and political bias in knowledge sharing
The benefits of social capital for the sharing of knowledge are frequently emphasized in the literature. However, a few authors have also begun to draw our attention towards the drawbacks of social capital for the working of organizations. In particular, instrumental social capital - as opposed to consummatory social capital - is seen as linked to power relations, which can inhibit the sharing of knowledge. To contribute to this debate on the rol…
