The aim of this research was to uncover the effect of innovative approaches of managers and employees of soccer clubs playing in the Turkish Football Federation's Super League on performance management. The research was a descriptive study employing correlational design. The sample was composed of a total of 155 managers and employees, among whom 9 were females and 146 were males, of soccer clubs playing in Super League: Fenerbahce Sports Club, Galatasaray Sports Club, Besiktas Gymnastic Club, Medipol Basaksehir Football Club, Kasimpasa, BTC Turk Yeni Malatyaspor, Demir Grup Sivasspor, and Hes Kablo Kayserispor. In data analysis, the distribution of demographic characteristics and responses to the questionnaire questions were examined with frequency analysis. Three regression and path analyses, where the sub-scales of the Innovation in Sports Scale were considered independent variables and the subscales of the Performance Management Scale were taken as dependent variables, were performed via AMOS software to uncover the effect of innovation on performance management in sports clubs. The relevant analyses were carried out at a 95% confidence interval.
