Abstract

This study aims to understand the process and the criteria evolved in the performance appraisal of coaches of nine sport clubs in the Autonomous Region of Madeira, Portugal. The methodology used was based on a documentary analysis of the human resources of the institution and it was carried out a semi-structured interview done to the directors responsible for the performance appraisal of the coaches. The results show a less structured evaluation process, based on poor and inaccurate organization data. The most relevant criteria in the evaluation process were the sports scores of athletes, followed by the leadership skills and personal and social skills of the coach.
