Project Description: The project seeks to develop standardised/standardisable academically and empirically grounded systems for managing, i.e. measuring and controlling, ethically desired and integer behaviour in sport organisations. These systems will be adaptable to different organisations types (e.g., sizes, purposes) and different aspects of ethical behaviour (e.g., protection of athlete rights, fighting unwanted behaviour). The project will draw from the insights won in the other projects of this DN and from own original research. The developed systems will be a major factor in implementing the scientific outcomes of the DN into organisational practice.
