Women in sports leadership: How do we get there?

近几十年来，在体育运动参与方面的性别平等取得了重大进展，但在体育运动中担任领导职务的妇女人数少得惊人。在整个欧洲，女性在国家体育机构董事会中的代表比例平均为14%。在全球范围内，女性占据了执行委员会职位的13%，并且在历史上在主要国际体育机构的各个级别都没有得到充分的代表。话虽如此，最近在英国的背景下，似乎出现了代表进步的变化，例如资助在管理委员会中实现更大的多样性。本研究项目将概述专业化的概念以及如何在体育管理研究中使用此外，该研究项目将批判性地分析妇女在体育部门的经验，探索进入领导岗位的妇女如何驾驭其组织的文化规范，经历各种晋升障碍，该研究将采用社会学性别理论来突出女性体育领导人的观点，批评体育机构工作场所文化中普遍存在和持久的性别歧视规范，并倡导更有效地促进女性在这一领域的职业发展。

Recent decades have seen significant strides towards gender equality in sport participation, but the lackof women holding leadership roles in sport is striking. Across Europe, women's representation on boardsof national sporting bodies averages 14%. Globally, women occupy 13% of executive committeepositions and have historically been underrepresented at all levels of major international sporting bodies.Having said this, there has been recent movements in the UK context that appear to representprogressive change, such as funding to implement greater diversity across governing boards.This research project will outline the concept of professionalisation and how it has been used within sportmanagement research in noticing minimal coverage for the professionalisation of women sportmanagers, who hereby contribute to the economic, social and humanistic potential of women's sport.Additionally, the research project will critically analyse women's experiences in the sport sector,exploring how women entering leadership positions navigate the cultural norms of their organisations,experience various barriers to progression, and forge paths into and through their professional careers.The research will employ sociological gender theory to foreground the perspectives of women sportsleaders, critique pervasive and enduring sexist norms of sport bodies' workplace culture, and advocatefor more effective professional development of women in this sector.
