“…For instance, Li et al (2011) revealed that DCs can have a positive effect on the continuous maintenance of competitive advantages under dynamic circumstances. Harris et al (2020) also demonstrated that DCs can drive sustained innovation and enhance organizational performance of sports national governing bodies. Besides, DCs were recently discussed across a few articles in the eSports literature (Scholz & Stein, 2017;Scholz, 2019), notably pointing out that the allocation of resources has to be especially dynamic in order to compete in this field.…”

“…Furthermore, regarding the innovation programmes identified, our findings coincide with those of previous studies since sport-specific programmes were the most relevant to be delivered by federations or associations. 15 , 30 , 58 , 59 …”

The purpose of this study was to contribute to the understanding of innovation and crowdfunding of International Olympic Sport Federations (IFs), which are the world governing bodies of their respective sports. Three research questions were addressed: the perceptions of the IFs on the implementation of their innovation programmes during the last four years (2016–2020), the impact of COVID-19 on the IFs capability to innovate, and the crowdfunding strategies of the IFs. A mixed method combining qualitative and quantitative approaches was used. An online semi-structured questionnaire which included an open answer section was completed by IFs executives ( n = 22) and an analysis of the information provided by IFs through various content sources was conducted. Results showed that IFs with less funding had a significantly more innovative approach that their counterparts, that the perception of the impact of COVID-19 on the innovative capability was not unanimous, that they identified sport-specific programmes as the most innovative of all initiatives delivered during the pandemic, and that crowdfunding projects were implemented in their sport but mostly at individual and local levels. From a research perspective, since this is the first study that investigates the innovation and crowdfunding strategies of IFs, future directions include the need for further research with national and regional federations on these topics. Practical implications are suggested for IFs to deliver innovative programmes to satisfy their stakeholder needs and to consider new funding methods such as crowdfunding as part of their strategies.

“…A review of extant literature revealed that a servant leader is expected to display several attributes, five of the most prominent of which are discussed as follows: (1) Empathy: Servant leaders seek to understand the underlying needs and motivations of their followers so as to create the necessary environment for them to prosper and thrive (Allen et al, 2018;Lumpkin and Achen, 2018;Joseph and Gandolfi, 2020), (2) Self awareness: Servant leaders are to reflect deeply and analyze their own value systems in order to identify areas where they can improve as leaders (Arain et al, 2019;Frémeaux and Pavageau, 2020;Giambatista et al, 2020), (3) Persuasion: Servant leaders do not coerce their followers to perform certain actions. Rather they convince them to do certain actions by clearly showing them the benefits of those actions (Lee et al, 2020;Megheirkouni, 2020), (4) Stewardship: Servant leaders take responsibility for the actions of their followers, rather than blame them if things go wrong (Andersen, 2018;Luu, 2020;Tuan, 2020) and 5Commitment to the growth of people: Servant leaders are focused on ensuring that their followers achieve their ambitions and fulfil their potential (Harris et al, 2020;Upadyaya and Salmela-Aro, 2020).…”

As the world grapples with the effects of the Corona Virus pandemic, the importance of leadership at all levels of an organization has been brought into the sharp focus. Servant leadership is a philosophy that advocates that the primary focus of leaders is to serve their followers, and such a philosophy in theory could be important during these troubling times. Using the Systematic Quantitative Assessment Technique, this study conducted a systematic review of 179 servant leadership (SL) articles published over the last decade (2010-2019) to provide insight as to the efficacy of this leadership style in inspiring followers to give their best efforts. Besides this primary objective, this review also sought to understand the time distribution, geographic distribution, types and data collection methods of these SL articles. Review of empirical evidence revealed that SL was very effective in inspiring followers to go above and beyond in helping to achieve an organization's objectives. The review also revealed that over the last decade, interest in SL has grown from year to year, with most of the research in Asia and North America. Furthermore, most SL research has been empirical in nature, with surveys being the favoured means of data collection. There has been a dearth of qualitative studies in extant SL scholarship, and this represents a significant gap which future researchers should endeavour to address.
