There is still a lack of knowledge regarding which social processes occur in sport clubs and what factors influence young adults to want to remain in a sport club context. Thus, the purpose of this study was to construct a grounded theory (GT) explaining how sport clubs can retain their young adults.
The study uses an intersectional approach. In line with constructivist GT methodology, data from 14 focus-group interviews (27 coaches and 28 young adults) were collected and analysed using a constant comparative method.
The core category, "The individual at the centre of a community", summarizes a process, whereby the generated GT contains three main categories, namely (1) "Participation and influence", (2) "Social connectedness" and (3) "Good conditions".
The coaches put the individual at the centre of a community and pay attention to the needs and interests of all the young adults, regardless of their background, ambitions, and skills. However, while the idea of a moral imperative to provide for diversity was not directly absent in the discussions with both the coaches and young adults, most of the diversity approaches seemed to be based on ambition and skills, gender, age and sexuality.
对于在体育俱乐部中发生的社会过程以及影响年轻人想要留在体育俱乐部环境中的因素,我们的了解仍然有限。因此,本研究的目的是构建一个解释体育俱乐部如何留住年轻人的扎根理论(GT)。
该研究采用交叉方法。根据建构主义 GT 方法论,从 14 个焦点小组访谈(27 名教练和 28 名年轻人)中收集数据,并使用恒比方法进行分析。
核心类别“以社区为中心的个体”总结了一个过程,由此产生的 GT 包含三个主要类别,即(1)“参与和影响”,(2)“社会联系”和(3)“良好条件”。
教练将个体置于社区的中心,并关注所有年轻人的需求和利益,无论他们的背景、志向和技能如何。然而,尽管教练和年轻人的讨论中并没有直接提到提供多样性的道德义务,但大多数多样性方法似乎基于志向和技能、性别、年龄和性取向。
