Abstract

This chapter examines how sports organizations in the public, for-profit, and non-profit sectors define and prioritize responsible management and sustainability in their day-to-day operations. Representatives from each sector were interviewed to accomplish this goal. Results show that public sector sports organizations have a high awareness of sustainability and responsible management, while private and non-profit sectors prioritize it less. The current situation in South Korea is viewed as a transitional stage in organizational management for responsibility and sustainability. It is important to address the issues that need to be discussed in the future to achieve sustainable development through the harmonization of social stability and integration, economic growth, and environmental preservation, as well as to comply with the laws and the established five-year basic plan for sustainable development in South Korea.
