Productivity measurement in a sports organisation

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to establish whether the Productivity Measurement and Enhancement System (ProMES), a human resource intervention that provides feedback, can improve productivity in an Angolan female handball team. Two factors that are critical to the success of a sports team or organisation are motivation and productivity. The ProMES approach offers a method for measuring action results (in other words, team productivity) that takes this feature of typical team settings into account. The ProMES process, with its ability to aggregate participants around objectives, is suitable for application in the sport industry.

Key words: productivity, ProMES, motivation, team effectiveness and development,feedback, performance, team sport
