“Controlling in sports management is no longer that classic, traditional controlling of the past, as a function of management, controlling must be exercised in a professional way, sustainable ...development being reserved for sports entities that act professionally. Controlling means services for sports management and is a function of sports management. Controllers are the contact persons for all levels of sports management in strategic and operational issues. Controlling is a comprehensive management concept, operating at all levels of the navigation system of the management of sports organizations. By monitoring we mean the continuous and systematic observation and supervision of certain objectives, plans, processes and events. Controlling means: to keep under control a certain situation, to inform through figures on its current status, on events and processes, respectively on their causes, on influencing factors, as well as on (possible) effects and a (could) have initiatives so that management can achieve its goals. The management of sports organizations must act on all levels of management in a goal-oriented, control and information-oriented way, and therefore oriented towards a regulation circuit. A cooperative leadership style is needed, which helps to highlight the competencies and strengths of the employees and to take into account the opinions of the employees from different fields as well as the acceptance of their weaknesses. The persons who have powers in controlling in sports management must match, in turn, through their values, qualities, knowledge and experiences, to the culture of the sports organizations of which they are part.”
Leadership style is an essential component of the effectiveness of the coach's work. There are three styles of coaches generally accepted in sports: dictatorial, democratic and negligent. Each of ...these styles has its own advantages and disadvantages, which is why it is important to understand each of them. Purpose of the study.The purpose of this research was to determine, by means of an applied questionnaire, to what extent coaches use leadership styles and their impact within a sports organization. Methods and means. To carry out this study, the questionnaire-based survey method was used - The Coaches' Interpersonal Style Questionnaire (Pulido et al., 2018). It included 10 questions with reference to the leadership style of the coaches. The questionnaire measured 3 forms of leadership style – democratic, authoritarian and negligent. The collected data were measured using a 5-item Likert scale represented by the numbers 1 – never, and 5 – frequently/always. Results. The comparative graphic clearly shows an absolute dominance of the democratic style in each center, in the dictatorial style there is a predominantly significant difference between clubs, and the negligent style is used less often or never. Conclusions. In general, the coaches have understood the modern trends and that is why the democratic leadership style prevails, managing to involve even very young athletes in decision-making, which also implies responsibility for both parties.
The current study addressed one of the most significant issues that faced by high-performance sports organizations, which is not fully benefiting from the applications of artificial intelligence ...techniques. The main problem of the research was to understand the effect of applying artificial intelligence technologies in the management of high-performance sports organizations and the extent of the contribution of applications of artificial intelligence techniques in diagnosing and addressing administrative and technical obstacles in the departments of sports activity and schooling in the General Directorates of Education in the province of Baghdad, with the aim of achieving high performance. In this context, the main objective of the study was to construct a conceptual framework for the implementation of artificial intelligence techniques in high-performance sports organizations, specifically in the sports and school activity departments of the General Directorates of Education in Baghdad province, as a model. In order to achieve the objectives of the study, the researchers followed a descriptive approach with an analytical method that suited the nature of the problem. They also conducted an informal exploratory study in the sports and school activity departments, utilizing a questionnaire as the tool for data collection. The study concluded by developing a reliable scale for the application of artificial intelligence technologies in high-performance sports organizations, consisting of five fields: Expert systems, virtual reality, intelligent agents, information technologies, and process automation. The sample size was chosen to be equal to the population to suit the nature of the research. The validity and reliability of this scale have been confirmed through statistical means, such as Cronbach's alpha coefficient, which amounted to 89.7. The five fields of the scale contained twenty-five items. The relative importance of these items ranged between (63-84%). The highest value of relative importance was 84% for the second item from the expert systems field, which states, (expert systems function as a consulting expert for the upper management in the sports and school activity departments to contribute to making correct decisions), whereas the lowest value for relative importance was for the first item from the virtual reality field, which states, (the use of virtual reality in the sports and school activity departments contributes to the acquisition of diverse skills for the employees and works on developing administrative and technical performance)
In sports, the motivation of athletes can be the key to success.
Motivation, as a concept, was offered a wide range of interpretations, many
of which were developed from a managerial perspective that ...highlights a
better understanding of the mechanisms of motivation of human character.
Objectives. Identifying the reasons for playing basketball by athletes aged 14-
15, but also highlighting the motivational performance factors by comparing
two teams with different competitive results. Methods and means. To carry
out this study, the survey method was used by filling in a questionnaire by the
basketball players of the two sports clubs. The questionnaire includes 24
questions and refers to the causes that athletes find motivating to practice the
game of basketball. Results. The results presented show for each category the
average level of motivation that underlies the engagement in the basketball
game of each team studied. In the “amotivation” category, both teams have a
result of 1, thus eliminating the risk of abandoning the sports activity. Regarding the
""external regulation"", U-BT athletes have a higher score, thus resulting in a higher
extrinsic motivation based on praise or external factors. Both teams scored
high on ""intrinsic motivation"", demonstrating that athletes practice basketball
voluntarily. Conclusions. In conclusion, these variations can be justified due to
the transition age in which the athletes are, the players coming to detach
themselves from the concrete and situate the real in a set of possible
transformations. This study illustrates a motivational portrait of junior teams
engaged in the domestic national championship."
