- Title
SPORT MANAGEMENT DIGEST.
- Authors
Cunningham, George B.; Kent, Aubrey; Mason, Dan; Moorman, Anita; Barr, Carol A.
- Abstract
The article presents abstracts of several articles related to sport management published in different journals. The article "Leader-Member Exchanges (LMX) and Board Performance of Voluntary Sport Organizations" published in the journal "Nonprofit Management & Leadership," explores the relationship between board performance and the quality of LMX between leaders and their followers within Australian voluntary sport organizations. Authors of the article "The Disappointment Games: Narratives of Olympic Failure in Canada and New Zealand," published in the journal "International Review for the Sociology of Sport" compared how news coverage positioned disappointment regarding Olympic performance in both Canada and New Zealand. The authors found that in both countries this was positioned in terms of comparison to past performance. In New Zealand, however, a lack of success was articulated in terms of the individual athletes' inabilities to perform, a reflection of a decline in a broader loss of moral values.
