This study investigated the current human resources management practices and future needs of the national sport associations in Taiwan. A researcher-designed instrument, "A Survey of the Human Resources Management Practices and Needs of the National Sport Associations", was used for data collection. A total of 55 secretary-generals of the national sport associations were sampled in the study. The researcher-conducted in-depth interviews and a questionnaire survey were adopted to collect data. The study found, First, that the typical full-time human resources status for the national sport associations can be described as having "2 or less" employees, aging from "31 to 40 years old", with a "college" degree in "physical education" majors, taking "non-supervisory" positions with gender equally distributed, whereas non-full-time human resources consisted of the public, referees, physical educators and coaches. Second, the human resources management practices for the national sport associations, including selection, staffing, development, promotion and compensation, were capable of meeting current needs and mostly dealing with personnel routines. Third, only a few associations had a full-time employee recruitment plan most likely with "one" "non-supervisory" vacancy for individuals aging "21-30 years old", having a "college" degree in "physical education" majors.
