This paper introduces Structure-Dimensional Analysis (SDA) as an innovative approach to understanding the representation of culture-related knowledge in sport organisations. In the study, sport managers from both the for-profit (FPO) and the non-profit (NPO) sectors were presented with a range of concepts that characterize culture in sport organisations. After the results were subjected to a hierarchical cluster analysis, a dimensional examination of the cluster concepts was undertaken by means of a factor analysis. Finally, an intra- and inter-individual comparison of representations was carried out using an invariance analysis. Thus, individual knowledge structures were revealed which allow both comparisons between individual managers as well as group comparisons between different sectors. The results of this study indicate a significant difference in culture-related cognitive structures between the FPO and the NPO sectors and support the assumption that different mental representations of culture exist in different kinds of organisations. Invariant structures and group-specific culture representations can be shown in the inter-individual comparison.
