Research on individual board members has tended to focus on attitudes and personal characteristics with research on behaviors limited to the fulfillment of prescriptive tasks. This article develops a nine-behavior model of board member behavior using three board member roles (individual, board, and organizational) and three types of behavior (proficient, adaptive, and proactive). The model was tested using survey data acquired from Canadian provincial sport governing bodies. The data did not support adaptive behaviors, but a revised model was supported by the data. The results suggested board members perceive expectations to fulfill individual tasks, work together, and implement positive change. This research provides an empirically tested framework for continuing the advancement in governance research beyond a structural and compositional approach to an approach that captures the social and behavioral nature of boards.

检查非营利体育管理机构中个别董事会成员的行为

对个别董事会成员的研究往往侧重于态度和个人特征，而研究仅限于完成规定任务的行为。本文使用三种董事会成员角色（个人、董事会和组织）和三种行为类型（熟练、适应性和主动）开发了董事会成员行为的九种行为模型。该模型使用从加拿大省级体育管理机构获得的调查数据进行了测试。数据不支持适应性行为，但数据支持修改后的模型。结果表明，董事会成员感知到对完成个人任务、共同工作和实施积极变革的期望。
