Abstract

PurposeSome sports organizations have a strategic objective of promoting human and social development through sports. However, it can be challenging to ensure that these objectives, conveyed by the board, are fully internalized by the athletes. From the perspective of inter-organizational networks, this dissemination can occur through strategic alignment and diffusion of social capital. Therefore, the authors wanted to analyze if organizational policies from sports organizations are related to athletes' perception of social capital and strategic alignment.Design/methodology/approachThe authors conducted a sequential mixed-method research. Firstly, a pilot study was conducted with two exploratory interviews with key informants from a sports organization, supported by documentary data from this organization. A thematic content analysis was carried out to identify relevant categories and subcategories to prepare a quantitative research instrument. In the second phase, a questionnaire was applied to 159 student-athletes from this organization. The collected data were analyzed by multiple linear regression.FindingsFrom the pilot study, a set of five elements of strategic alignment, and three elements of social capital in the sports organization context were provided. In the quantitative phase, the authors identified that social capital is related to athletes' perception of shared values internalization in a sports organization, but strategic systems were not.Practical implicationsSports managers could better promote internal policies if there is social capital among athletes rather than implementing top-down deployed communications.Social implicationsPolicymakers could better predict the effectiveness of a foment request by sports organizations considering not only strategic systems communication deployment but also the existence of social capital in a sports organization. It is a broader mechanism to understand the capacity of a sports organization in disseminating good values among their members.Originality/valueDifferent from traditional companies, in sports organizations, only social capital is related to the internalization of organizational policy by athletes rather than strategic alignment initiatives.
组织政策作为运动员之间分享体育价值观的手段:社会资本的作用
一些体育组织的战略目标是通过体育促进人类和社会的发展。然而,要确保董事会传达的这些目标被运动员完全内化,这可能是一项挑战。从组织间网络的角度来看,这种传播可以通过社会资本的战略结盟和扩散来实现。因此,作者想分析体育组织的组织政策是否与运动员的社会资本感知和战略结盟有关。设计/方法/方法作者进行了顺序混合方法研究。首先,进行了一项试点研究,对一家体育组织的关键线人进行了两次探索性访谈,并得到了该组织的文献数据的支持。进行了主题内容分析,以确定有关的类别和子类别,以编制一项定量研究工具。第二阶段,对该组织159名学生运动员进行问卷调查。对收集的数据进行多元线性回归分析。从试点研究中,提供了体育组织背景下的战略结盟的五个要素和社会资本的三个要素。在量化阶段,作者发现社会资本与运动员对体育组织共同价值观内化的感知有关,但战略系统与之无关。如果运动员之间存在社会资本,而不是实施自上而下的部署沟通,体育管理者可以更好地推动内部政策。政策制定者可以更好地预测体育组织煽动请求的有效性,不仅考虑战略系统传播部署,而且考虑体育组织中社会资本的存在。了解体育组织在其成员中传播良好价值观的能力是一种更广泛的机制。独创性/价值与传统公司不同,在体育组织中,只有社会资本与运动员组织政策的内部化有关,而与战略结盟倡议无关。
