Abstract:
"This important text is the first to take a comprehensive, nuanced look at the critical aspects of human resource management within sport, fitness, and recreation organizations. The book focuses on the key groups that comprise human resources and presents conceptual guidelines for matching managerial processes with individual differences between these groups. It explains how to tailor human resource practices to fit each sport or recreation organization's particular goals, products, markets, and technologies."--Jacket.
"This book is unique in the way it approaches human resource management. It explains that within the context of sport and recreation organizations, "human resources" are composed not only of professional workers and volunteers but also of an organization's clients."--Jacket.
