Abstract

The present umbrella review aimed to: i) analyze review manuscripts on the sport man-11 agement knowledge/competencies/skills; ii) propose a harmonized, evidence-based, competency 12 framework for a comprehensive understanding of the intertwined relationships between 13 knowledge, competencies and skills in determining sport managers expected working performance 14 and need for training; and iii) provide insights for a sound implementation of educational curricula. 15 Based on the PRIO guidelines, inclusion criteria encompassed systematic and narrative literature 16 peer-reviewed review manuscripts relevant to sport management knowledge/competencies/skills, 17 published between 2012 and 2022 in English. The search was performed on three databases, result-18 ing in twenty-two retained review manuscripts representing different research topics. From 277 rec-19 orded elements, 72 knowledge/competencies/skills items have been extracted. Leadership skills, Fi-20 nance and administration, Marketing, and Effective communication accounted for the highest rep-21 resentation. Based on the emerged evidence, a sport management comprehensive framework was 22 developed including: 1) Life-long learning; 2) Necessary knowledge; 3) What is needed to be done; 23 4) How things get done; 5) Modulating factors; 6) Transversality within the industry; and 7) Dy-24 namic interaction and intertwined relations. In considering the research propositions and relative 25 recommendations for curricula implementation and future research, the present findings could fos-26 ter the debate for the sustainable growth of this research area.
