Organization of departments and managing human resources based on the example of a sports club

Analizirajući poslovne organizacije na tržištu i njihova vodstva koja su zadužena za ostvarivanje dugoročnih ciljeva organizacija, autor rada osvrnuo se na problematiku organiziranja poslovnih odjela i sukladno tome upravljanja zaposlenicima kao temeljem strukture jedne organizacije, a za čiju je pojavu odgovorno vodstvo i menadžment organizacija. Pogrešno primjenjujući u praksi stručnu literaturu i krivo tumačeći dobre smjernice dosadašnjih istraživanja organizacijske psihologije, odjeli poslovnih organizacija se organiziraju kao odraz usmjerenosti menadžmenta isključivo prema ostvarenju profita dok viši interesi poput zadovoljnih zaposlenika ostaju tek formalna izjava naglašena u misiji i viziji organizacija. Stavljanjem profita kao dominantnog narativa u središte poslovne organizacije, zaposlenici postaju demotivirani te gube lojalnost jer ih se gleda kroz prizmu profita, a menadžment ne zna kako uspješno upravljati ljudskim potencijalima. Primjenjujući drugačiji pristup rješavanju problematike tog tipa, s obzirom na to da je rukovođenje sportskog kluba kao i vođenje te selekcije igrača osnovna razlika koja izdvaja uspješne od neuspješnih klubova, autor se kroz rad fokusirao na trenere koji rukovode sportskim klubovima, stavljajući u prvi plan vlastite igrače sukladno saznanjima iz organizacijske psihologije kao znanstvene discipline koja je primjenjiva u području psihologije rada. Iako na prvi pogled analogija kojom se uspostavlja veza između sportskih klubova i poslovnih organizacija nije primjenjiva, na svjetskoj razini sve je više seminara i konferencija koje organiziraju odjeli ljudskih potencijala velikih multinacionalnih organizacija, kako bi saznali od najboljih svjetskih trenera kako rješavaju operativnu problematiku poput konflikta u svlačionici ili motiviranja igrača te stvari slične prirode koje su prisutne u apsolutno svakoj organizaciji nebitno unutar koje industrije i djelatnosti ona bila prisutna.By analyzing business organizations and their leadership in achieving organizations long-term goals, the author of this thesis has identified the issues of organizing human departments and management of employees as the organization’s core, for which the leadership and the management of the organization are held responsible. Misapplying professional literature and misinterpreting good guidelines in organizational psychology to date, departments of business organizations are organized as a reflection of management's focus toward profit making, while the higher interests, such as satisfied employees, remain merely formal statements of organizations, emphasized in organization’s mission and vision. By putting profits as a dominant narrative of a business organization, employees become demotivated and lose their loyalty and the management of organization does not know how to apply the good guidelines of organizational psychology in practice. By adopting a different approach to solving issues of this type, since the management of the sport’s club as well as the management and selection of the players is a basic difference distinguishing successful from unsuccessful clubs, the author of this thesis focuses on the coaches who run sport clubs by keeping each individual player in focal point and who use their knowledge of organizational psychology as a scientific discipline that is applicable in the psychology of work. While at first the analogy between sport clubs and business organizations is not applicable, there are a lot of conferences and seminars which are held by human resource departments of large multinational companies in order to learn from the best world coaches. They learn how the coaches tackle the conflict in the locker-room, how to communicate with the leadership of the club and the players, how to approach and motivate the players and in which situation they decide to reward or punish the players. All these things are present in every organization irrelevant within which industry or activity it is part of
