Abstract

The relation between organizational theory and sports has usually presented sports as an interesting field in which to illustrate organizational phenomena. This literature review aims to examine academic papers and research which explore the particular nature of organizational phenomena in sports, specifically in relation to sport organizations structure. The topic has been commonly discussed in the context of wider organizational studies, mainly related to organizational change, organizational performance and structural configuration of organizations. This means those changes that have transformed the world of sports have affected not only the structure of sport organizations, but also the environment in which they operate and the traditional measures to evaluate their effectiveness. By exploring the literature we may identify future interesting niches for research on the structure of sport organizations as well as the essential elements to be considered when studying organizational phenomenon in the sport sector.
