Abstract

Abstract The Australian Football League (AFL) is a leading professional sports organization within the multi-billion-dollar entertainment industry. This case study uses publicly available information to investigate the AFL in terms of its credentials as a positive institution using the good work model developed by Stansbury and Sonenshein (2012). The AFL has taken advantage of the economic rationalism and developed a corporate structure able to deliver a range of good work activities. For example, developmental programs that help players exceeding high community expectations. This study suggests that the good work model is beneficial for cognitive resources, normal functioning, regulatory focus, and impression formation. The AFL appears to answer Cameron et al. (2004) call to identify and enable flourishing and life-giving aspects of their organisation and, thus, represents a kind of positive institution. Finally, the study recognizes positive institutions as worthwhile but raises concerns about the uniqueness and lack of cultural research.

一个案例研究:AFL作为一个积极的机构

澳大利亚足球联盟(AFL)是一个领先的专业体育组织，在数十亿美元的娱乐产业。本案例研究使用公开可用的信息来调查AFL作为一个积极机构的资格，使用斯坦斯伯里和索南希因(2012)开发的良好工作模型。劳联利用了经济理性主义，发展了一个能够提供一系列良好工作活动的公司结构。例如，帮助玩家超越社区期望的发展计划。本研究表明，良好的工作模式有利于认知资源、正常功能、调节焦点和印象形成。AFL似乎回应了Cameron等人(2004)的呼吁，即确定并实现其组织的繁荣和生命赋予方面，因此，代表了一种积极的机构。最后，该研究承认积极的制度是值得的，但提出了对独特性和缺乏文化研究的担忧。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
