This study is the first to explore the experiences of women launching their own Sport for Development and Peace organizations ( n = 21). Building on previous knowledge regarding the additional barriers that women often experience in both sport and entrepreneurship, we intentionally focused on female founders. We draw on effectuation theory to analyze how women entrepreneurs make decisions while creating nonprofit ventures. Founders engaged in effectual reasoning, acting with existing resources to shape the future, rather than planning, and predicting what may happen. Yet our findings challenge the assumption of maintaining control over uncertainty by employing effectuation. We demonstrate the need for a more contextualized model of effectual reasoning in resource-constrained and fragmented ecosystems, such as Sport for Development and Peace, accounting for the systemic constraints women entrepreneurs must navigate.","PeriodicalId":50042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Management","volume":"224 1","pages":"355-369"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899155","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Data from five presidential election cycles (2004–2020) yielded 1,718 institutional observations. County-level vote shares were drawn from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology lab, and ZIP-to-county mappings from Department of Housing and Urban Development were used to link institutions to local contexts. Gender equity was measured across three dimensions: the share of female athletes (participation representation), the share of student aid to women (aid equity), and the share of recruiting budgets for women’s teams (recruiting equity). Lagged vote share was used to account for temporal ordering. Females comprised 44.9% of athletes, received 47.2% of aid, and their teams received 35.8% of recruiting budgets. Regression results showed Democratic vote share was positively associated with all three outcomes. Path analysis indicated these associations were partially mediated by the proportion of female undergraduates. Findings support institutional theory and highlight how political context shapes gender equity.","PeriodicalId":50042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Management","volume":"60 1","pages":"343-354"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through employing intersectionality and Community Cultural Wealth frameworks, we examine how these grassroots clubs foster cultural resources and assets for diasporic women whose intersectional identities create unique barriers and opportunities for sport participation. Ethnography was used to collect diverse types of data including interviews, observations, and field notes. The findings highlight that participation in these clubs provided a sense of belonging, and offered social support and sport spaces tailored to the needs of diasporic women, interpreted as the development of linguistic, aspirational, social, navigational, and resistant capital. We propose the merit of combining Community Cultural Wealth and intersectionality in the investigation of sport experiences and offer implications for supporting diasporic women’s sport clubs through community partnerships and resources.","PeriodicalId":50042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Management","volume":"6 1","pages":"397-409"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899152","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on a mixed-methods design, data were collected via quantitative questionnaires, followed by qualitative interviews with leaders of Canadian and German SGBs. The results suggest that Canadian SGBs focus on the symbolism of having a gender DEI policy as a response to institutional pressures. German SGBs only perceive normative pressure but do not feel responsible for gender DEI. The study contributes to the literature by including all three institutional pressures and offering insights into why a focus on gender diversity in policies is not coupled with gender equity and inclusion in human resource management practices.","PeriodicalId":50042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Management","volume":"379 1","pages":"384-396"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We challenge this paradox by exploring the discourses that White women senior-level administrators called upon when discussing race and racism as college sport leaders and how these discussions connected to sociocultural and sociopolitical dimensions of whiteness. Data were collected through two in-depth interviews with each of five White women senior-level sport administrators in Division I intercollegiate athletic departments. Using critical whiteness studies and White identity management as theoretical frameworks, and critical discourse analysis as methodology, we found that White women leaders expressed comfort discussing their marginalized gender identity but reinforced dimensions of whiteness by skirting around the social power of race, valuing meritocracy, and evoking gender marginalization to evade centering the material benefits of a White racial identity. Our findings highlight how feminist coalition building within sport organizations is hindered by the entrenched and often unexamined nature of whiteness.","PeriodicalId":50042,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Sport Management","volume":"34 1","pages":"370-383"},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148899127","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
