Human Resources Management in Nonprofit Sport Organizations

Human resources play a significant role in organizational effectiveness. In this regard, the contribution of organization citizenship behavior is very important and can be interpreted based on the existing climate in an organization. The goal of the present study is to investigate the ethical climate existing in nonprofit sport organizations, and to examine the possible differences in the perception of ethical climate between the members in relation to gender, age and experience. One hundred and fifty six members (117 men and 39 women) of non profit sport organizations were used. Participants filled out the Ethical Climate Questionnaire. Results revealed a superiority of benevolent climate (social and individual caring) in the relevant associations, and the absence of differences between members in relation to gender, age and experience.
