Conflict in sporting organizations: an overview of research
Conflict in sporting organizations: an overview of research
One of the most common issues facing managers these days is the management of conflict. While conflict has been studied exhaustively within the public and private sectors, when it comes to sport there has been limited research. This chapter provides an overview of the theoretical and empirical research on conflict in sports organizations and how that relates to changes currently occurring in sport. The consensus of the sport literature suggests that it is the structural arrangements of sports organizations that make them an environment for the emergence of sport. However, this review argues that although it was possible to adopt new organizational designs to reduce conflict, the process of change creates conflict and furthermore, new conflicts emerge in the new design. The continuing issue is the interaction of individuals in these structures causes conflict and the real problem is how to manage this conflict

Abstract
One of the most common issues facing managers these days is the management of conflict. While conflict has been studied exhaustively within the public and private sectors, when it comes to sport there has been limited research. This chapter provides an overview of the theoretical and empirical research on conflict in sports organizations and how that relates to changes currently occurring in sport. The consensus of the sport literature suggests that it is the structural arrangements of sports organizations that make them an environment for the emergence of sport. However, this review argues that although it was possible to adopt new organizational designs to reduce conflict, the process of change creates conflict and furthermore, new conflicts emerge in the new design. The continuing issue is the interaction of individuals in these structures causes conflict and the real problem is how to manage this conflict
