Paulo José Santos Ventura
Abstract
Sports managers are responsible for a wide range of functions, necessitating them to master multiple areas of knowledge and possess diverse skills. The goal of this study is to understand, with students in their third year of a degree in sports management at the Autonomous University of Lisbon, their perceptions of future integration in the current labor market in Sports Management based on sustained practices and based on a set of variables: the importance of the sports manager; organizational management; sports manager skills; and future challenges. According to the sociodemographic analysis, there was little variation among students regarding age, gender, household, geographical proximity to Lisbon's urban center, and nationality. A quantitative descriptive methodology was employed. When confronted with the factor "Future Challenges," which was revealed to significantly influence students' perceptions of future integration into the labor market in Sports Management, the students demonstrated a unanimous opinion among the universe of students under study regarding integration into the current labor market.
