Abstract

Organizational culture in sports affects well-being, performance, and overall success. Although team culture has been explored within able-bodied teams, little is known about culture development within parasport. Using a descriptive case study approach, our study examined the culture development and experiences of an elite parasport team. Two semistructured individual telephone interviews were conducted with nine participants (athletes and staff), and one athlete-participant completed one interview. An inductive thematic analysis revealed two themes: approach to culture development and team culture components. Culture development was linked with facilitative leadership and important resources. This supported the team to create their shared values and mechanisms, including a behavioral framework, other artifacts (e.g., shared language and team motto), and a relaxed environment. These helped to maintain their agreed culture and benefited their well-being, progress, and team cohesion. Our results offer a starting point regarding research into the culture of elite parasport and have practical implications for managers, coaches, and psychologists.

一种积极的精英体育表演文化的定性分析。

体育组织文化影响幸福感、表现和整体成功。尽管已经在健全的团队中探索了团队文化，但人们对帕拉斯波特的文化发展知之甚少。采用描述性案例研究方法，我们的研究考察了一支精英准体育队的文化发展和经验。对九名参与者（运动员和工作人员）进行了两次半结构化的个人电话采访，一名运动员参与者完成了一次采访。归纳主题分析揭示了两个主题：文化发展方法和团队文化组成部分。文化发展与促进性领导和重要资源联系在一起。这支持团队创建他们共享的价值观和机制，包括行为框架、其他工件（例如，共享的语言和团队格言）和轻松的环境。这有助于保持他们一致同意的文化，并有利于他们的幸福感、进步和团队凝聚力。我们的研究结果为研究精英准体育文化提供了一个起点，并对管理者、教练和心理学家具有实际意义。

期刊介绍： APAQ is an international, peer-reviewed, multidisciplinary journal designed to stimulate and communicate scholarly inquiry relating to physical activity that is adapted in order to enable and enhance performance and participation in people with disability. Physical activity implies fine, gross, functional, and interpretive movement including physical education, recreation, exercise, sport, and dance. The focus of adaptation may be the activity or task that is to be performed, environment and facilities, equipment, instructional methodology, and/or rules governing the performance setting. Among the populations considered are persons with motor, intellectual, sensory, and mental or other disabilities across the life span. Disciplines from which scholarship to this aim may originate include, but are not limited to, physical education, teacher preparation, human development, motor behavior and learning, biomechanics, exercise and sport physiology, and exercise and sport psychology. Scientific inquiry may originate from quantitative or qualitative inquiry, as well as from multimethod designs.
