O perfil do gestor esportivo Brasileiro: Revisão sistemática da literatura

Abstract

This study looked into the profiles of Brazilian sports managers presented in the literature from 1980 to 2016. The articles analyzed were obtained from electronic databases and university repositories. The keywords used were “sports management”, “sports manager”, “sports director” and “profile and sports manager” (in their Portuguese versions). Nineteen studies were examined by the PRISMA’s method. They showed that Brazilian sports managers work in public, private and nonprofit organizations and are predominantly male. On average, they are 42 years old, predominantly trained in Physical Education and Business Administration, and have maximum work experience of 14 years. These results point out the need for strategies to include women in the field of sports management. In addition, they emphasize the importance of specific training for Brazilian sports managers.
