ABSTRACT
Sport governance scholarship has a short history. The first sport governance-related manuscript published in the Journal of Sport Management was in 1996, some nine years after the establishment of this journal in 1987. This article, by Kuga (see Table 1.4), focused on the governance of intercollegiate athletics and the perceptions of faculty as key stakeholders. Interestingly, this is the only sport governance article published in the three leading sport management journals concentrated on the sports system in the USA. Sport Management Review published its first sport governance paper in 2003, five years after its inception in 1998, and the European Sport Management Quarterly published its first sport governance manuscript in 2003, two years after its commencement in 2001. Hoye and Cuskelly co-authored both articles, with the first published in Sport Management Review examining professionalisation of governance systems, board–executive relations and the role of the board (see Table 1.1). The second article, published in European Sport Management Quarterly, investigated board dynamics and specifically board power and performance in voluntary sport organisations (see Table 1.2). These two articles provide an insight to the general trend of articles published in the three leading journals, most of which tackle governance in sport systems formerly grounded in amateur and voluntary delivery systems.
