Abstract

The event management in sports organizations is a matter of strict necessity and actuality due to the development worldwide sporting phenomenon. This research topic is of great interest to professionals and current sports structures as systems because organizations must continually adapt to multiple and unpredictable influences of external or internal factors. The introduction of scientific management concepts within the sports structures in one step is relatively new and insufficiently substantiated. Developing conceptual edge detection in the field of sports management and managerial methods and techniques is leading to performance in sports organizations. We believe that the use of scientific management level sports organizations enhances their activity, which increases the efficiency of organizing sport activities and boost their results. The research approach was used as research tools based on questionnaire survey. The results of scientific research can be useful for supplementing the theoretical basis in the field of sports management from the perspective of sports organizations to optimize the management process. Using questionnaire based survey we identified respondents' opinions about the management system manifested in sports organizations investigated. This research can be an opportunity for those interested in exploring sports management, moreover, the only means of scientific approach in the management of sports organizations. Event management scientifically sound lacking determines gaps in leadership sport structures. By the managerial intervention will optimize the work done in sports organizations to achieve the planned objectives.

Introduction

Sport is a social phenomenon which, over time, had a huge impact on society and which allowed the

formation and socialization of individuals, leading ultimately to the overall development of society

(Mihăilescu, 2008, p. 85).

Harnessing talent psycho-motor performance outstanding is a complex process that requires

multiple solutions based training information, experiments, research and studies (Cucui, 2015, pp. 230-

235).

Sports management is a multidimensional concept, considered to be a set of tools to analyse various

disciplines to understand how sports organizations are managed. The multidimensionality of sport

management is due to the evolution of contemporary science, on the one hand and complexity of

knowledge, on the other hand.

The concept of physical education and sports management will help to increase the area of

knowledge in this field and also to maximize athletic performance in organizations (Cucui, 2013a).

The management of sports organizations, like any organization, is a complex process that generates

many questions to legal action to make these effective organizations. Sports organizations are a system

of people and action, placing the question of why people act. M. Crozier, E Friedberg believes that

organizational action cannot pass a reflection on actors that generate this action (1995).

Management issue in football clubs is one of strict necessity and actuality because football

development worldwide phenomenon (Cucui, 2013b).

For the activity within an organization to be more agile, flexible, adaptable and creative requires a

manager with high potential to achieve coordination at a higher quality level. The diagnosis requires the

activity of a sports organization is undoubtedly methodological advantage of using a systemic approach.

The management of sports organizations preparing a decision can be made by using the SWOT

analysis, which provides information necessary internal and external manager choosing the best options

for developing the strategy (Cucui, 2013c).

System management in sports organizations include several components that differ according to the

nature and characteristics of the methods they use and are organizational subsystem, information

subsystem, decision subsystem, methodological and informational subsystem.

Sports efficiency of organization is given by way of achieving the goals of interaction and operation

of its subsystems taking into account the external factors that can intervene in this process.

Management of sports organizations currently cannot be conceived without the use of scientific

methods and techniques to enable effective and rational use of resources, boosting staff and managers

to accurately assess outcomes, optimize decision-making and management of all functions.

Promoting promotional policies in sports management can be achieved by extrapolating information

from economic and adapt them to the particularities of sport likely to lead to shaping and promoting

techniques, processes and management systems designed to generate positive effects for both sports

organization and its external environment.

Sports management involves theoretical concepts are generally valid, but must be applied contingent

vision, situational and cultural contexts adapted to the particularities existing territorial and

organizational plan.

Materials and Methods

The research is presented as a set of activities carried out in a systematic way for collection and

processing of data (information) in a particular field of activity, and use the findings in order to achieve

progress in the knowledge and practice that domain.

After the organization of work, we believe that this research is one of determination and verification.

Assuming that to develop sports organizations need a scientific management, I analysed the

management exercised in sports clubs in the South - Muntenia.

The main method of quantitative sociological investigation questionnaire was used. This was the

distribution of a questionnaire on the evaluation process manifested in the management of sports

organizations in the South-Muntenia.

To achieve the research was developed a questionnaire that included items closed, focus on process

management manifestation of clubs investigated.

Results

Preliminary analysis and interpretation of research results was done from the questionnaire on the

event management process. Responses were given on a scale of ratings from 1 (the minimum) and 5

(maximum level). Respondents chose one of the values found on the response scale for each item.

Ratings of the response scale are the strength and show how survey participants regarding different

aspects of the organization. Data were pooled and processed for the analysis of quantitative.

Under item no. One which focused on "management training" - that was analysed was obtained

chart. 1, which is in fact the expression responses of study participants. From the chart below, notice

that a management training subjects by between II, III and IV, to a greater extent. This highlights the

low interest in training in this area, observing the small number of those with thorough training

management (3), but that 2 subjects admitted that they specialized studies.

The second dimension studied refers to "work plan rigorously and systematically". As shown in the

chart. Two survey participants plan their time rigorously and systematically, this being marked values

III and IV who obtained the best scores. Thus we are dealing with representatives of sports

organizations who appreciate the real value of time.

For item three ie "activities designed is performed," study participants argue that perform the

proposed activity somewhat, this observing and chart. 3. The vast majority of cases opting for values

III and IV, which shows that the projected activities are not fully met. There is a backup from the

respondents on this issue because the maximum value V chose a small number of participants.

Under item no. 4 'compliance with existing resources clearly defined "Respondents some

reservations in saying this. From the chart 4, we observe increased share value attributed III. This

proves that sports organizations shortcomings in establishing clear objectives, probably due Existing

resources, these being undervalued or overvalued often.

Size five on "employees' contribution in the design and decision making", respondents emphasized

that he takes decisions and chooses little on employee involvement in decision-making and advisory

factor. Thus the chart. May we see the results on the values attributed II, III and IV, which are

representative of this dimension and marks a defining feature of which is that the vast majority of

people in the leadership department does not consult with employees in decision making.

For item "retrieve tasks related to employees' results express that the persons responsible for its

management employees assigned certain tasks. From the chart 6 highlights the responses of study

participants who opted for the values of size III and IV, indicating a data rate of over 50% channelled

these values. This is particularly important in the field of organizational and is based on a number of

aspects of the work itself on the one hand, methodological aspects and not least psychological. In fact,

the results highlighted by the study highlights a serious problem of the Romanian sport namely the lack

of specialized organizational manager of the organization.

Discussion

Promoting a scientific management positions in sports organizations and management teams to

devise development strategies and monitor their implementation activities should constitute the basis

for each manager and the organization as dynamic factor of all organizational activities.

Conclusions

In the context outlined by Interviewees looming reorganization proceedings in sports organizations.

Amid lack of vision and lack of even a specialist in the management of sports in sports

organizations analysed, was installed some self-sufficiency, even convenience opposite the application

of scientific management level sports organization.

Management of sport organizations in terms of a scientifically based insufficient management can

cause syncope manifested in the work and performance.
