Abstract

Undoubtedly, the importance of nonprofit sports civil organizations has become a cornerstone of social and cultural integration and development, and from this point of view, their study has become more frequent. But from the management's orientation, there seems to be a stumble on their research or at least an ambiguity in the literature content. Thus, the purpose of this study is to systematically review the literature which deals with the field of management of nonprofit sports organizations. And this is achieved by collecting and categorizing 67 peer-reviewed articles, mainly from Scopus, Web of Sciences and Science Direct, but supplemented even more by searching other databases and bibliographies. The findings show that the study of their management has been developed mainly from the dimension of concepts such as organizational capacity focusing on HR (boards and leadership, members and volunteers), approaches and strategies, and inter-organizational partnerships. In addition to a summary of the sub-topics of management through which nonprofit organizations have been studied, the significance of this paper lies in the possibility of facilitating the identification of the research gaps, namely subtopics that have not been studied sufficiently.
