Abstract | Sport management programs are essential pathways by which aspiring professionals in the sport industry achieve their university education. While a substantial segment of sport management scholarship has focused on driving for higher rates of diversity, equity, and inclusion in the sport industry, less attention has been paid to the sport management academy. In this study, we examine the gender representation of full-time faculty positions, publications, and research methodologies in sport management. Our results show that men are employed in higher numbers overall. In the 329 sport management programs studied, the percentage of women employed at each level are as follows: assistant professor (46.8%), associate professor (39.5%), and full professor (37%), suggesting a drop-off aligned with the concept of career derailment, or a time-lag in reaching equity in the discipline. Women are also less published within top sport management journals (Journal of Sport Management, European Sport Management Quarterly, and Sport Management Review). Implications of these findings are discussed as well as future research directions. |
