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.

The Athens Journal of Sports (AJSPO) is an Open Access quarterly double blind peer reviewed journal and it considers papers from all areas of sports and related sciences. Many of the papers published in this journal have been presented at the various conferences sponsored by the Sport, Exercise, & Kinesiology Unit of the Athens Institute & the Panhellenic Association of Sports Economists and Managers (PASEM). All papers are subject to the Athens Institute’s Publication Ethical Policy and Statement.

Our aim is to study the origins and evolution of professional football clubs from a management and organizational history approach. Studying the football industry from a business history perspective is not just relevant and important, but also allows participation in several of the debates open in business and economics fields, including the role played by consumers in the shaping and evolution of an industry; the evolution of an industry toward a structure with an ‘economics of superstars’ character and its consequences, and more.

In this session, we aim at finding out more about the role of sport organisations for creating a sustainable future. We invite contributors to submit abstracts from research in sports within various contexts. Contributions applying various perspectives in the research on social, economic and environmental dimensions of sustainability are welcome. Contributions can be submitted in a Scandinavian language and English. The session managers are open to host the track in both languages.
