Human Resource Management in Sport and Recreation, 4th Edition, is a higher education textbook designed for students and instructors in sport management, recreation management, and sports administration. Written by Packianathan Chelladurai and Amy Chan Hyung Kim, the volume establishes the basic significance of human resources within contemporary sports business environments.

Initial chapters distinguish among three key human resource categories: volunteers, industry professionals, and clients who participate in service delivery. The text then analyzes core individual attributes that shape workplace behavior, including employee abilities, personality traits, core values, motivational factors, and organizational justice standards.

Subsequent units detail administrative structures, covering job design, staffing, career considerations, leadership models, performance appraisal, reward systems, and internal marketing. The text completes its content with analysis of worker satisfaction, organizational commitment, and future guiding themes in sport human resource management.
