ABSTRACT

Research Question

There is a dearth of research within prominent sport management outlets using critical race-based theories. This article provides a pathway to addressing this problem as we build on the call to address, challenge, and disrupt epistemological racism in sport management research. We propose adopting a theory of racialized organizations – a meso-level approach to examine organizations as racial structures.

Research Methods

Within this conceptual paper, we provide an overview of the theory and apply it to specific case examples to highlight the utility of TRO within sport management research and practice.

Results and Findings

Coupling TRO and sport management brings awareness to the racialization processes within sport organizations and helps disrupt dominant narratives of sport being race neutral.

Implications

Utilizing TRO assists scholars in reframing research questions, increasing the study of racially minoritized sport stakeholders, and challenging notions of race neutrality that reinforce inequitable power relations. From a managerial perspective, sport leaders must interrogate the complicity in perpetuating racialization and how whiteness influences practices and policies.

在体育管理研究和实践中利用种族组织理论

摘要

研究问题

著名的体育管理机构缺乏使用基于种族的批判理论的研究。本文提供了解决这一问题的途径，因为我们呼吁解决、挑战和破坏体育管理研究中的认识论种族主义。我们建议采用种族化组织理论——一种中观层面的方法来将组织视为种族结构。

研究方法

在这篇概念性论文中，我们对该理论进行了概述，并将其应用于具体案例，以强调 TRO 在体育管理研究和实践中的实用性。

结果和发现

TRO 和体育管理的结合提高了人们对体育组织内部种族化进程的认识，并有助于打破体育运动种族中立的主流观念。

影响

利用 TRO 可以帮助学者重新构建研究问题，增加对少数种族体育利益相关者的研究，并挑战强化不平等权力关系的种族中立观念。从管理的角度来看，体育领导人必须审视种族化持续存在的共谋以及白人如何影响实践和政策。
