摘要:There has been increasing recognition of the need for regulations effectiveness, in terms of understandingand compliance with the rules, in the sport settings. This is important because sport is a rule-governedpractice: constitutive rules, both prescriptive and proscriptive formal rules of play, define required equipmentand facilities; auxiliary rules specify and control eligibility; regulatory rules place restraints on behaviourindependent of the sport itself. This paper provides a review of regulations in sport settings and it focuses onmanagerial implications, in terms of training programs on dynamical process for ethical and unethicalbehaviors in systems significantly based on rules: for a qualitative exploratory study, we assume thatunderstanding and being aware of the rules from the point of view of their technical contents is a necessarybut not sufficient condition for the rule to be applied and ethically applied. Training on the intentionalviolations of the rules decided by the principal administrators of the system and the dynamical process whichlet to automatic adjustment to infringements frequently implemented by other stakeholders could prevent orreduce the corruptive phenomenon and increase rules effective application in sport settings.
