Sport management scholars have called for the application of broader research approaches, including critical social science. Such approaches help uncover the less-desirable aspects of sport and, therefore, offer a basis for positive change. While there have been advancements in the use of innovative research approaches over time, there remains little understanding of how these calls have been addressed. The purpose of this scoping review is to examine trends, gaps, and the use of critical social science and associated approaches in sport management scholarship. Two hundred sixteen relevant articles were identified through a database search (i.e., five platforms), complemented with a manual search of 419 journals. Results indicate that an increase in critical research published in sport management journals was evident following 2005. Findings suggest that there remains space for increased publication of critical social science work in sport management journals and for researchers to better articulate their research approaches in scholarly outputs.
体育管理学者呼吁采用更广泛的研究方法,包括批判社会科学。这些方法有助于揭示体育中不太理想的方面,从而为积极变革提供基础。虽然随着时间的推移,创新研究方法的使用取得了进展,但对于这些呼吁是如何得到回应的,人们仍然知之甚少。本范围综述的目的是研究体育管理学术研究中批判社会科学及相关方法的趋势、差距和使用情况。通过数据库搜索(即五个平台)识别出216篇相关文章,并辅以对419种期刊的手动搜索。结果表明,2005年之后,体育管理期刊上发表的批判性研究明显增加。研究结果表明,体育管理期刊上批判性社会科学研究的发表量仍有增加空间,研究人员也有必要在学术成果中更好地阐述自己的研究方法。
