- ABSTRACT: Given the environmental risks that impede positive youth development, community youth sport organizations serving vulnerable youth are critical. Organizational behaviour theory postulates there is an indirect effect of an organization's processes on performance through organizational climate, while there is no direct effect of an organization's processes on performance in the presence of the indirect effect. The current study tests this theoretical framework within the context of a community youth sport organization. Surveys were administered to 417 youth participants and 52 programme staff throughout the 19-day intervention. The structural model found organizational process a non-significant latent variable, and demonstrated significant direct effects from organizational climate to youth social and athletic competence (organizational performance indicators). The results reveal organizational behaviour theory may function differently dependent upon the context. The findings lend credence to the importance of perceived organizational climate in fostering positive youth development.

Résumé Étant donné les risques environnementaux qui entravent le développement positif des jeunes, le rôle joué auprès des jeunes vulnérables par les organisations sportives communautaires est essentiel. La théorie du comportement organisationnel postule que les processus d'une organisation ont un effet indirect sur le rendement via le climat organisationnel ainsi instillé, tandis les processus d'une organisation n'ont pas d'effet direct sur le rendement en présence d'effets indirects (Ehrhart et Raver, 2014). La présente étude teste ce cadre théorique dans le contexte d'une organisation sportive communautaire oeuvrant auprès de la jeunesse. 417 jeunes participants et 52 membres du personnel du programme ont répondu à des sondages tout au long des 19 jours de l'intervention. Selon le modèle structurel, le processus organisationnel est une variable latente non significative et le climat organisationnel démontre des effets directs significatifs sur la compétence sociale et sportive des jeunes (indicateurs de rendement organisationnel). Les résultats révèlent que le cadre théorique d'Ehrhart et Raver (2014) fonctionne différemment selon le contexte. Les résultats confirment l'importance du climat organisationnel perçu dans la stimulation du développement positif des jeunes. … (more)
