Abstract:

 


The concept of sports governance has
become more and more popular in recent years and has received considerable
attention in practice and academia. From institutional theory to environmental
dynamics, it is considered that the governance structure of the organization is
to coordinate external pressures and interact with other organizations,
regulatory environments, and systems, especially laws and regulations. The
purpose of this study is to analyze the sources of law of sports organizations
autonomy in Taiwan and Turkey. Turkey and Taiwan are very similar in the
structure and environment of sports governance. And Turkey is better than
Taiwan in terms of the competitive performs participation of international
sports and the holding of mega sports events. Therefore, this research analyzed
the content and changes of relevant laws and regulations of Taiwan and Turkey
on the basis of document analysis and uses relevant government documents and
announcements as a source of data analysis. This study found that Turkey has
passed the Sports Association Autonomy Act in 2004 and many associations have
completed self-government. However, there are still rooms for Turkish Sports
organizations of autonomy. There are two issues of autonomy of Turkish Sports
organizations, board elections and funding. Turkish Sports organizations are
still highly relying on the funding of government and have the
government-appointed person in the supervisory members of the association. In
contrast, after the 2017 Taipei Universiade, Taiwan was under pressure from
public opinion, and the government amended the National Sports Law. It
stipulates that the association should have a transparent electoral system,
open participation for the whole people, and amendments to the player selection
system. It seems that the part of Taiwan's regulations is more perfect than the
Turkish regulations and more in line with the spirit of good governance.
However, such reforms are also worrying about the government's excessive
involvement in the association. Good governance is like a road without an end,
and many developed countries are still moving towards this goal. Taiwan and
Turkey have also undergone reforms and gradually move toward a good governance
path. However, in order to achieve the goal of good governance, in addition to
the improvement of the regulatory environment, what more important is the
attitude of the leaders and the public to the sports organization. First of
all, we must publicize the concept of good governance, and establish a sound
organizational structure and organizational charter. Furthermore, through the
constraints of external stakeholders, the entire sports organization network
can be more stable. The fulfilment of good governance of sports can also be
possible.
