ABSTRACT
Human resources are considered to be the sport organization’s most important asset. People, in essence, are the organization. Their skills, knowledge abilities dramatically shape the organization and have a critical impact on the organization’s ability to carry out its mission and achieve its goals. In this chapter, students learn of the human resource function through an examination of the tour sport industry, and will consider the human resource function within the sport organization from the perspective of both potential employee and the manager within the organization who is responsible for the staffing function.
