Abstract

Effective organizational management is a critical determinant of performance sustainability in university sport organizations, particularly in emerging sports such as petanque. Weak governance structures, limited supervision systems, and resource constraints often influence administrator effectiveness and athlete achievement outcomes. This study aims to examine the relationship between organizational management and administrator performance, as well as athlete achievement data, within the Petanque Student Activity Unit (UKM Petanque) of the University of Jambi during the 2025–2026 management period. This research employed a qualitative descriptive case study approach using observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation analysis. Informants consisted of core administrators, coaches, and active athletes. Evaluation was conducted using management function indicators (planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling) and supported by empirical performance data. The findings indicate that planning realization reached 91.7% for routine training and 87.5% for championship participation. Administrator performance showed high commitment (4.5/5) and program execution accuracy (4.2/5). Achievement data demonstrated a 16.7% increase in the composite performance index compared to the previous period. However, limitations in human resources, infrastructure (80% procurement realization), and weak systematic supervision (33.3% capacity-building realization) affected optimal performance distribution. In conclusion, structured organizational management positively influences administrator effectiveness and athlete achievement. Strengthening supervision systems, coordination mechanisms, and resource allocation is essential for sustainable competitive improvement.
