“…This statement sheds light on the evolution of the structure of stadia over the last 50 years. It is noted that the importance of stadium management has been widely raised, given its role in managing and facilitating assignments and tasks across all stadia divisions and accomplish the required roles when hosting particular events (Swayne, 2011). This means that the relationship between employees and supervisors, managers, or leaders must be not only well-defined, but seriously considered within the rules and regulations adopted in stadia.…”

“…The head of operations is responsible for overseeing other members of the management team, including those who are in charge of marketing, public relations, customer service, maintenance services, advertising, sales, operations, facility planning, and their employees (Schwarz, et al, 2015). Swayne (2011) mentioned that although similar in many ways to stadia run by government entities, venues run by sports authorities tend to have more independence from governmental interference and often have more resources to maintain and renovate facilities. There are many examples that support Schwarz and colleagues' argument.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the mediating impacts of leader-member exchange (LMX) theory on the relationship between job satisfaction, organisational commitment and performance of staff operating in stadia and arenas hosting sport events. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative methods approach was used to gather the data. In total, 146 surveys were completed from stadia hosting sport events in London, Dubai and Doha. Data were analysed using SPSS. Findings LMX fully mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and organisational commitment. LMX fully mediated the relationship between job satisfaction and job performance. In addition, job satisfaction was positively and directly related to job performance as well as organisational commitment. Research limitations/implications In-depth interviews approach is also needed to understand how employees perceive their supervisors, managers, or leaders in stadia hosting sport events. Originality/value The paper advances leadership research in stadia hosting sport events that links the impacts of LMX theory on job satisfaction, organisational commitment and performance.

“…The evolution of stadiums over the last 50 years in terms of design, size, technology and safety has led to an increased need for human resource, leadership styles and skills. Not surprisingly, the importance of stadium management has become much more widely recognized, given its role in managing and facilitating assignments and tasks across all stadiums’ divisions and accomplishing the required roles when hosting particular events (Swayne, 2011). In this regard, stadiums have been defined by John et al (2013) as “those buildings that accommodate the larger format sports, whether in the open or under cover, and not with arenas (which are essentially indoor venues, usually smaller than stadia); but […] the latter are often multi-purpose buildings for sports plus concerts, exhibitions and the like.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the required leadership styles and skills for stadium management, and examine the relationship between transformational and transactional leadership styles and the skills approach: technical, human and conceptual skills. Design/methodology/approach A quantitative methods approach was used to gather the data, using a sample of 212 registered individuals in stadium settings. Findings The results revealed that there are significant relationships between leadership styles and the skills approach: technical, human and conceptual skills. More importantly, leadership styles were found to be equally important even though the effect between these styles and the skills approach: technical, human and conceptual skills, varied in the three levels of management. Further details have been reported in the results. Research limitations/implications The paper provides an insight into the relationship between leadership styles and the required skills, using a quantitative methods approach. While this is an appropriate method, in-depth interviews are needed to understand why/why questions in stadium settings. Practical implications Managers should be carefully selected in the three levels of management because unqualified people can have negative consequences on the reputation of a stadium and the hosting of major events. An effective selection program focusing on mid-level managers is essential. Originality/value This research represents the first attempt to investigate and understand the relationship between leadership styles and the required skills, using evidence from stadium settings.

“…Innovations that address preidentified needs have a greater capability to prompt sports facilities. To date, there are no adequate systems, services, or software in the sports facilities management area [8] that satisfy the needs outlined above. Further, sports facilities information systems have received comparatively little attention from researchers.…”

Internet of Things (IoT), a new information technology, has obviously prompted building management. For stadiums are symbol buildings of many cities, investments on their modern upgrade are sustainable and incredible. Any investment will be focused by the public. However, lacking decision-making methodology for judging the income makes it difficult for upgrade willing of stadium owners. This paper has proposed a conceptual model of IoT-aided stadium information system (SIS) basing Internet of Things (IoT). Using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), a Multi-Criteria Decision Making template was designed for comparing SIS with a conventional SIS that in use at the Nanjing Olympic Center of China. The results showed that IoT-aided SIS was more meaningful and efficient than conventional SIS. With IoT, SIS helps stadium and enlarge its functional capability for local community and provide potentiality for the sports market. As an experimental technology still in progress, the key for IoT-aided SIS is the typical applications that provide standard and reference for future following applications.
