We argue it is time for sport organizational behavior scholars to revisit and expand the field's boundaries by exploring diverse perspectives, new theories, conceptual frameworks, and innovative practical strategies, consistent with the mission of Journal of Sport Management. The goal of this special issue is to foster scholarship that explores strategies for empowering next-generation sport employees to thrive, enhance performance in VUCA environments, and achieve personal fulfillment through their careers in the sport industry.

This issue aims to focus on innovative practices and empirical findings. Additionally, it hopes to serve as an outlet for uniquely designed organizations and programming that have received limited attention previously in sport management journals. Thus, the purpose of this special issue is to encourage scholarly attention to the nature of organizational innovation in SDP.

We invite submissions for this Special Issue that articulate the ways that sport organizations are responding and adapting their structure and values in response to contemporary issues. We also encourage submissions that explore whether current theoretical frameworks effectively represent the complexity of issues that stem from the erosion of sector walls.

This workshop will discuss and analyse how this shift in public policy has affected the interaction between public authorities and sport organisations in different countries. What kind of strategies has New Public Management brought about for governments to engage with sport organisations, and vice versa?

Conceptual, theoretical and empirical works drawing on and engaging with positive organisational behaviour are welcome for this issue. We hope that this issue will inspire and encourage scholars to expand their research horizons to investigate employees in flourishing sport organisations.
