Abstract(s)

Introduction: The importance of the study of organizations as social entities of human development and as fundamental agents of change and evolution, that is, as true institutions, leads to the need for their research in the context of Sport. Objetive: This study aims to analyze the appreciation that sports organizations attribute to the principles of Maximization and Optimization. Methods: Azevedo's institutional analysis questionnaire (2014) was used to assess the degree of agreement of sports communities, and organizations were later characterized in typological quadrants according to Figueiredo's mesoscopic analysis model (2006). The study included 154 respondents, belonging to and distributed by the 24 local sports organizations of Viseu’s district and with different positions in their hierarchical structures. Results: The results reveal significant differences in the valuation attributed to both the Maximize pole and the Optimization pole, as well as the integration of organizations into typologies from 1st to 4th quadrants, according to their preferences. Conclusion: The intentions of sports communities aim to regulate and provide stability to organizational social and sports behavior, so as to be accepted and recognized by their peers.
