Nowadays, sport organizations in Taiwan and Hong Kong universities are facing various challenges in this ever-changing environment. To acquire more resources for the future advancement, it is important for sport organizations to implement sport governance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the current situation of sport governance developmentation in sport organizations in Taiwan and Hong Kong universities, and then made comparison between two organizations. Purposive sampling was employed and 9 council members from CTUSF and USFHK were interviewed. The findings are as following: Difference in environmental dynamics: The scale of the CTUSF is larger, many more members and staffs are involved and there are more interactions with the stakeholders. Dealing with the legal requirement, influence of different policies or limitation on environment, sport organization tends to seek more resources and solutions externally. While the USFHK is a more compact one, with fewer members and staff. It is solely responsible for its profits and loss. Comparatively, it is less bounded by environment, legal requirement and stakeholders. Contrast in board roles: The board of CTUSF is mainly responsible for monitoring and offering suggestions. The secretary general is the decision maker and for the policy implementation with the board members. As for the USFHK, the power is more centralized. It monitors and sets out organizational policy, which is later operated by the executive council. Similarity in governance capabilities: It is found that both organizations are transparent in meeting frequency, financial situation and policy. And they both achieve the expected performance and goals. From the findings, it is suggested the future research can expand to different level of organizations or broaden the interviewees.
