“…Much research on match officials has thus tended to focus on their discretionary decision making with respect to play and, specifically, in the context of home‐team advantage (Dohmen & Sauermann, 2016). However, there is a small and growing literature that has investigated motivation and the intentions of sports officials to remain or stay in their roles (Cuskelly & Hoye, 2013; Webb, 2020).…”

Emergent research has investigated the impact of abuse on the decision of match officials to leave their sport. The existing literature is largely descriptive and qualitative. Based on large surveys of football referees in France and the Netherlands, this paper investigates the factors that are associated with the verbal and physical abuse of the referees and also the association of this abuse with the intentions of referees to quit officiating. The associations are investigated by estimating the marginal effects from bivariate probit and probit models respectively. Bivariate probit estimation reveals a strong correlation between each form of abuse. Both, unsurprisingly, are also positively associated with years of experience of referees. Probit estimation reveals that both forms of abuse, as well as intimidation from refereeing certain teams, are associated with an increased consideration of referees to quit. As increased intention to quit is also associated with the experience of the referee it is likely that the effect of abuse on referee considerations of quitting increase through time. The main conclusions are that the alternative forms of abuse are not zero-sum and both should be targeted by governing bodies to reduce the decline in the number of football referees. The data show that support of referees, for example through mentoring, can offset stated intentions to quit. Highlights. This study looks at the factors that are associated with verbal and physical abuse of football referees and the association of this abuse with the intentions to quit. . The alternative forms of abuse are not zero-sum and both should be targeted to reduce the decline in referees. . Support of referees, for example through mentoring, can offset stated intentions to quit.

“…The social entrepreneurship cluster, with additional keywords such as social innovation and sport for development, became another motor theme during this subperiod. Within this cluster, several articles have focused on the understanding of social innovation in sport for development (SFD) organizations (Svensson and Hambrick 2019;Svensson and Mahoney 2020;Svensson and Seifried 2017;Webb et al 2019). SFD organizations can be organized a variety of legal structures, but leaders of SFDs have the common feature that they employ different and innovative strategies to manage the distinct internal mechanisms of SFDs to achieve sustainable organizational development and social impact (Svensson and Seifried 2017).…”

This article examines the state of research on sport entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity in sport management. Sport is an increasingly important sector of the global economy, yet little attention has been given to the role of entrepreneurship in its development. This article argues that entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity are crucial drivers of change, innovation, and employment in sport and that sport entrepreneurship is an emerging but unorganized stream of business research. To better understand the relationship between these research fields, we performed a study that combined a systematic review and a bibliometric analysis. This article presents thematic shifts in the field of sport entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity. It proposes an integrated model of sport entrepreneurship, offering novel perspectives that contribute to the field. Furthermore, the article addresses the lack of research on creativity, sustainability, and the sport entrepreneur, charting underexplored territories. Overall, this article provides a comprehensive overview of current research on sport entrepreneurship and identifies key areas for future investigation.

“…Their work provides insight about how and why different organizational actors engage in collective efforts to develop product-focused social innovations and further identify how a number of process-focused innovations also emerged. Specifically, Webb et al (2019) identify how SDP managers need to engage in collecting, connecting, collating, and communicating efforts as part of these types of innovations.…”
