Design, validation and psychometric properties of a questionnaire to assess intrapreneurial behaviours in sports organisations
Intrapreneurs in sports organisations can detect early signs of new opportunities and threats and introduce early changes to adapt to the constant changes in the sports sector. In addition, intrapreneurs are considered a fundamental pillar in the growth and development of innovation in sports organisations. Thus, the objective of this work is to design and validate an instrument to detect employees with intrapreneurial behaviours in sports organisations. Based on the dimensions of intrapreneurship identified in the scientific literature and related questionnaires, a tool—the COINDE—composed of 46 items distributed in five dimensions was constructed and subjected to expert judgment and a pilot study and subsequently reduced to 26 items and five statistically validated dimensions. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) yielded two valid and reliable models to detect employees with intrapreneurial behaviours in sports organisations, with 5 and 6 dimensions and 25 and 26 items, respectively. The 5-factor model is proposed and justified. The dimensions are: creativity/innovation, risk-taking, proactivity, recognition of opportunities and priority of the internal project. The COINDE is a valid and reliable instrument representing an important advance over the existing instruments by providing specificity of the measure in the sports context, the work profile of the employees of these organisations, and allowing direct evaluation of intrapreneurial behaviour.

Sport entrepreneurship: the role of innovation and creativity in sport management
This article examines the state of research on sport entrepreneurship, with a particular focus on the intersection of entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity in sport management. Sport is an increasingly important sector of the global economy, yet little attention has been given to the role of entrepreneurship in its development. This article argues that entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity are crucial drivers of change, innovation, and employment in sport and that sport entrepreneurship is an emerging but unorganized stream of business research. To better understand the relationship between these research fields, we performed a study that combined a systematic review and a bibliometric analysis. This article presents thematic shifts in the field of sport entrepreneurship, innovation, and creativity. It proposes an integrated model of sport entrepreneurship, offering novel perspectives that contribute to the field. Furthermore, the article addresses the lack of research on creativity, sustainability, and the sport entrepreneur, charting underexplored territories. Overall, this article provides a comprehensive overview of current research on sport entrepreneurship and identifies key areas for future investigation.

Sport management: Thematic mapping of the research field
The aim of the study is to map the thematic landscape of the sport management research field. The research process is focused on the following study questions: (1) what are the leading thematic areas attracting the attention of academia? (2) what are the emerging topics in research on sport management? The method of highfrequency keywords co-occurrence analysis was used to identify leading and emerging topics within the research field. Bibliometric data for analysis were retrieved from the Scopus database. The VOSviewer software supported the analysis process and visualization of its findings. The study points out the following leading thematic areas in the research field: (1) professional sport management, (2) physical activity and health, (3) sports staff, (4) IKM in sport management, (5) governance in sport, (6) sport education and learning, (7) humans in sport, (8) fans in sport. Among the emerging topics of scientific inquiry, the following issues are recognized: (1) the use of new information technologies (including social media), (2) sustainable development in sport, (3) fan satisfaction, and (4) physical activity (including grassroots). Taking into account the increase in the number of publications in the research field observed in the 2010s, and the lack of other studies dealing with topic profiling, the study aimed at identifying leading and emerging topics within the sport management research field seems to be valuable both for theory and practice of sport management. Mapping the structure of the field and identifying thematic clusters creates added value especially from the point of view of sport management theory. Co-occurrence analysis of high-frequency keywords unveils a variety of topics and approaches cultivated in the field and relationships among these topics. Pointing out 'hot' (emerging) topics provides guidance for scholars searching ideas for new, interesting research. From the point of view of business practice, the study develops situational awareness of sport managers highlighting the issues they should pay special attention to and supports them in identifying research gaps to be submitted for exploration in further studies by academia, closing the reciprocal loop between theory and practice.
