ABSTRACT

Research question

Diversity and inclusion management (DIM) is central to organizational science and studies of sport’s contribution to diversity and inclusion in society are plentiful, e.g. through the “sport for development” field. But what is the status of existing research about DIM within sport organizations?

Research methods

This paper draws upon an integrative literature review of DIM in sport organizations (n = 124). Data consist of articles gathered from Web of Science and the databases of Human Kinetics, Elsevier, Taylor and Francis and SAGE.

Results and Findings

The analysis generated five categories of findings: a lack of focus on the management part of DIM; the use of “organizational culture” as an all-embracing concept; an instrumental approach to “diversity” in particular; the key role of education in improving future DIM practices in sport; and an Anglo-Saxon bias.

Implications

This article advances the idea of a relational management of “diversity” and “inclusion” in sport organizations for integrative purposes. It is proposed to examine this relational management through a social-scientific approach to three research gaps, which are key to future empirical research on DIM challenges in sport organizations.

体育组织的多样性和包容性管理：综合文献综述

摘要

研究问题

多样性和包容性管理（DIM）是组织科学的核心，关于体育对社会多样性和包容性的贡献的研究很多，例如通过“体育促进发展”领域。但体育组织内部关于 DIM 的现有研究现状如何？

研究方法

本文借鉴了体育组织中 DIM 的综合文献综述（n  = 124）。数据包括从 Web of Science 以及 Human Kinetics、Elsevier、Taylor and Francis 和 SAGE 数据库收集的文章。

结果和发现

该分析产生了五类调查结果：缺乏对 DIM 管理部分的关注；使用“组织文化”作为一个包罗万象的概念；特别是“多样性”的工具性方法；教育在改善未来 DIM 体育实践方面的关键作用；和盎格鲁撒克逊偏见。

影响

本文提出了体育组织中出于综合目的对“多样性”和“包容性”进行关系管理的想法。建议通过社会科学方法来研究这种关系管理，以弥补三个研究空白，这对于体育组织中 DIM 挑战的未来实证研究至关重要。
