ABSTRACT Despite sport managers’ efforts to address mental health, many athletes have increased risks of anxiety and depression. Unfortunately, many athletes do not seek help. Using a mixed-method approach, this study’s purpose was to identify organizational factors that impact an athlete’s willingness to seek help (Phase I) and determine the extent to which these identified factors predict athlete help-seeking intentions (Phase II). Phase I focus group (n = 30 athletes) results indicated that Athlete Culture (sub-themes Businesslike and Toughness) and Coach Connection have the greatest impact on athlete help-seeking. Phase II survey (n = 474 athletes) results indicated through structural equation modelling that Businesslike, Toughness and Coach Connection were associated with help-seeking, while controlling for gender, race/ethnicity, and common method variance. Results indicate sport managers that establish genuine relationships with athletes and de-emphasize the sport ethic will better facilitate a help-seeking culture in their organizations. HIGHLIGHTS Athlete culture and coach connection impact athletes’ willingness to seek help for a mental health problem. Athletes who endors a businesslike culture report greater intentions to seek help from mental health professionals. Athletes who endors a culture of toughness report a lesser intent to seek help from mental health professionals. Athletes who report stronger connections to their head coachreport greater intentions to seek help..

ABSTRACT The authors investigate drivers and expected outcomes of the adoption of environmental practices by football organizations. Based on a survey of European professional football organizations, the authors examine the influence of stakeholders’ pressures on adopting environmental practices, distinguishing between operational and governance practices. The relationship between the adoption of environmental practices and expected benefits is examined. The results partially support the hypothesis of the study, highlighting pressures from market and societal stakeholders as relevant drivers of environmental sustainability in the football sector and identifying a wide range of expected benefits resulting from the adoption of operational and governance practices. HIGHLIGHTS Drivers and expected outcomes of the adoption of environmental practices by professional football organizations are examined. The authors distinguish operational and governance practices to provide a nuanced analysis of environmental practices in the football sector. Pressures from market and societal stakeholders emerge as relevant drivers of the adoption of both operational and governance practices. Pressures from football institutions (at national and international levels) positively influence the adoption of governance practices, rather than operational practices. Environmental practices are associated with a wide range of expected benefits, ranging from environmental performance improvements to business benefits.

ABSTRACT We conducted an experiment (N = 151) and survey (N = 301) in which potential fans of a sports team received a recommendation about the team’s game from either the team’s fan or nonfan. The results of analysis of variance and mediation analysis suggest that potential fans perceive existing fans to be highly representative of a community’s residents if the team is supported by the majority of the residents. Additionally, the potential fans are more likely to watch the recommended game if they believe the recommender is a highly prototypical resident and if they are strongly identified with the community. Our results revealed specific situations (i.e., when the team is supported by the majority of community residents and the recipient is highly identified with the community) and a psychological mechanism (i.e., increasing the recommender’s resident prototypicality) by which existing fans exert greater influence on the consumption intentions of potential fans. HIGHLIGHTS We found that a recommender’s fan status could influence potential fans’ intentions to watch the recommended sporting event. The mediation effect was moderated by the relative size of the fan community and the recipient’s community identification. We revealed specific situations and a psychological mechanism by which existing fans influence the consumption intentions of potential fans.

ABSTRACT Fans are a central entity in the sport ecosystem, and their importance in the sport value chain needs no emphasis. Despite extensive scholarly work around fans in sport management, the discipline lacks a unified view from a relational perspective. In this study, we present a bibliometric and content analysis of the fan-sporting object relationship literature. We conduct citation and cocitation analysis across 1704 journal documents, having 91,071 references. Our study finds that six intellectual clusters depict the realm of this relationship. Further, we report the centrality attributes of the most influential works of the domain. Our work thereby presents the intellectual structure of the literature of the fan-sporting object relationship and depicts it in an integrated framework. We complement our bibliometric review with a content analysis of relevant recent scholarly work to incorporate contemporary viewpoints. In doing so, we contribute to sport management by taking an expansive perspective of fans and accordingly provide future research directions. HIGHLIGHTS This study presents the state of research around the fan-sporting object relationship through bibliometric and social network analyses. It complements the bibliometric methods by using content analysis to present contemporary themes emanating from current research. It depicts the dominant clusters around the relationship and synthesizes them into a framework that acts as this relationship’s blueprint. Finally, the study guides future research that identifies the transcendence of fans beyond spectating roles.

ABSTRACT The personal well-being of sport industry employees has received little attention in the literature. The current investigation addresses this gap by developing a hypothesized model of servant leadership for well-being, positing that such an approach can shape psychological, social, and physical outcomes in the sport workplace. As servant leadership is known to create an environment where employees are awakened, engaged, and developed, this approach is positioned as a key influencer of employee well-being in the sport context. Using data from 489 employees working in professional sports, structural equation modeling analyses indicated servant leadership is predictive of employee life satisfaction and teamwork, with the latter mediating servant leadership’s influence on both life satisfaction and physical health. A holistic approach to leadership for multidimensional well-being is henceforth proposed along with management implications for creating environments where sport employees can thrive both inside and outside the workplace. HIGHLIGHTS Servant leadership facilitates psychological, social, and physical well-being. Servant leadership is predictive of employee life satisfaction and teamwork. Employee teamwork emerged as an important mediating factor in this context. The relative strength of servant leadership is assessed across well-being dimensions. A holistic approach to leadership for multidimensional well-being is proposed.
