Abstract

The goal of the present study was to investigate differences between members and athletes in their perception of organizational behavior (OB) in nonprofit sport teams. The OB was examined based on the existing climate within the above mentioned sport teams. The participants were 356 individuals (142 members and 214 athletes) of non-profit sport teams. Their age ranged from 12 to 78 years (M = 24.44, SD = 14.41). To estimate ethical climate, a validated Greek version of the Ethical Climate Questionnaire was used, as this was adapted by Agarwal and Malloy for non-profit contexts. Findings revealed significant differences in the perceptions on ethical climate between members and athletes of nonprofit sport teams. Findings also revealed the dominance of caring climate and the existence of limited interests in principle climate.
