This book was released on 2012 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to examine NCAA athletic directors' (ADs') perceptions of their own leadership styles as they relate to the five dimensions of transformational leadership and the three dimensions of transactional leadership. The research instrument was the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) with added demographic questions. In addition to the determination of the self-perceived athletic director leadership style, the intention of this study was to determine the possible relationship of demographic and institutional variables including athletic director NCAA Division, age, and gender. Participants were the athletic directors from NCAA Division I, II, and III member higher education institutions. The data were analyzed with descriptive statistics, t-tests, and one-way ANOVAs to examine the research question. The results found significant differences among the institutional variable of NCAA Divisions. A one-way ANOVA demonstrated that transformational leadership traits of intellectual stimulation and inspirational motivation set Division I ADs apart from ADs within Divisions II and III. The findings of the study may have significance for intercollegiate ADs in offering an increase in the understanding of their own leadership style. Thus, the AD can move between both transformational and transactional leadership traits depending on a specific task. The findings of the study may also provide a benefit for college and university presidents by hiring and increasing retention of ADs through matching leadership style with the needs and mission of the intercollegiate athletic department.

Newhart and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this quantitative study was to advance the research in the leadership field of intercollegiate athletics at the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division II (NCAA DII) level. Particular focus was on the transactional and transformational leadership behaviors, as the independent variables, perceived by NCAA DII athletic directors, as to the relationship to defined organizational outcomes. Conceptual underpinnings were supported by Bass and Avolio's (2004) leadership theory as measured by the Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) survey. The dependent variables were determined by the athletic-graduation rates and athletic team standings, based upon institutional data. The secondary focus was to gain an understanding of the demographic characteristics of the study group. The statistical findings of the study did not reveal that any significant differences existed between the leadership behavior factors and the defined organizational outcomes. Statistical results did find that relationships existed between IAD leadership factors and demographic characteristics. The IADs with more tenure at their current institution and at the NCAA DII level, utilized significantly more transactional and transformational leadership behaviors supporting Bass and Avolio's (2004) Augmentation Model of Transactional and Transformational Leadership. The overall philosophy of balance between academic and athletic achievement, as defined by the NCAA DII, supports and emphasizes that further research should be conducted at the NCAA DII level. If a problem exists for collegiate athletic leaders to balance academic and athletic achievement, it is recommended that these academic and athletic performance outcomes become part of the equation of the organizational leadership effectiveness definition and debate. It is recommended that higher education officials provide degree programs that teach a combination of higher education leadership theory and understanding plus sport management practices, where typically it is separated in one degree program or the other. Leadership practitioners in this collegiate athletic organizational context are recommended to further the research.

This book was released on 2007 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The major purpose of this study was to assess the impact of leadership style on service quality in intercollegiate athletics. Specifically, the study examined the relationship between the athletic directors' transformational leadership and service quality as perceived by the student athletes via the organizational outcomes including organizational citizenship behavior, organizational commitment, and job satisfaction. To accomplish this purpose, two web-based surveys were utilized to collect data from 927 head coaches and 1,064 student athletes from 53 institutions of the major five conferences in the NCAA during the 2005-06 academic year. The final response rate from the head coaches was 19% (175/927), and from the student athletes was 25% (271/1064). The instrument included basic demographic information, a nine-item to measure the athletic directors' transformational leadership (Bass, 1985a), a twelve-item measure to assess head coaches' organizational citizenship behavior (Smith, Organ, & Near, 1983), a six-item measure to capture head coaches' affective commitment (Meyer & Allen, 1997), a three-item measure to assess head coaches' overall job satisfaction (Cammann, Fichman, Jenkins, & Klesh, 1983), and a fourteen-item measure to assess student athletes' perceived service quality (Harris, 2002). The descriptive data revealed that the athletic directors' charismatic leadership, one dimension of transformational leadership, was the prominent factor, as perceived by the head coaches. Further, the student athletes perceived responsiveness and empathy as the prominent dimensions of service quality. Results from the SEM indicated that the overall athletic directors' transformational leadership was correlated to all organizational outcomes. In the relationship between the transformational leadership and service quality via the organizational outcomes, generalized compliance mediated the relationship between the transformational leadership and service quality.

Download or read book Division I Athletic Directors Leadership Influence on Athletic Departments written by Morey Mossovitz and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this multi-site case study was to explore the leadership practices of NCAA Division I athletic directors to better understand how their leadership approaches influence goal attainment at the institutions that they serve. This research sought to provide insights that may inform those responsible for the selection of effective athletic directors at Division I institutions. The findings of this research may also offer information for professionals seeking to become athletic directors in Division I institutions that will allow them to hone their leadership skills. The goal of this multi-site study was to create a holistic view of athletic director leadership by replicating data collection within the three different sites (Yin, 2014). The overarching research question that guided this study was, "What influence does a Division I athletic director's leadership have on the athletic department?" Subquestions that supported this research included: (a) How do Division I athletic directors describe their leadership practices? (b) How do Division I athletic department staff describe the athletic director's leadership approach and its effect on the work environment? (c) What are the best leadership practices of Division I athletic directors and how are they perceived to influence the outcomes of athletic programs? The conceptual framework that informed the current study consisted of three streams of theory, research, and practice: background of college athletics; development of the athletic director's role; and athletic director leadership. Findings that emerged from thick descriptions included that: (a) Successful Division I athletic directors have strong interpersonal skills and relate well with others. (b) Strong athletic director leadership requires the ability to identify, cultivate, develop and delegate to staff. (c) The athletic director's ability to create a vision in alignment with the university is significant. (d) The student athlete's experience is central to operational practices. (e) Athletic director abilities are aided through background and training experiences in management, as well as through working with and relating to others. All three sites within this study offered clear evidence that athletic director leadership is linked directly with the effectiveness of their athletic departments, and the skills cited in the study influence outcomes within their departments.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this qualitative research was to investigate the relationship among self-identified Black male National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) athletic directors and their lived experiences of career attainment through the lens of Critical Race Theory (CRT). In addition to document analyses, this study used a phenomenological approach to answer two research questions. The first research question-referred to as "Factors Impacting Career" ("Factors")-asked what are personal, professional, social, and institutional factors that impact the individual career trajectories of Black male athletic directors? The second research question-referred to as "Strategies to Overcome Barriers" ("Strategies")-asked how do Black male athletic directors limit any actual or perceived barriers to their career development? Semi-structured, in-depth interviews were used to collect information from all (N = 12) of the FBS Black male athletic directors regarding their perspectives and perception of their credentials, and lived experiences. The results of the study revealed themes developed from the Gioia methodology. The finding of the study revealed three overarching dimensions that impacted the athletic directors' career trajectory. Allyship and nepotism were the two dimensions associated with "Factors" while networking with other minority leaders was the dimension associated with "Strategies". Pertaining to the "Factors" research question, the allyship dimension was supported by the emergent themes of mentorship and diverse network while the nepotism dimension was supported by the emergent themes of lack of privilege and cultural differences. Pertaining to the "Strategies" research question, the dimension of networking with other minority leaders was supported by the emergent themes of intrinsic motivation, gathering extensive experience, and being intentional about networking. Overall, the three overarching dimensions (i.e., allyship, nepotism, and networking with other minority leaders) and the seven emergent themes (i.e., diverse network, lack of privilege, mentorship, cultural differences, intrinsic motivation, gathering extensive experience, and being intentional about networking) advance the sport management field and CRT research by providing a deeper understanding of the perceptions and perspectives of some of the most powerful men in the sport industry who also happen to be Black. The study results may be used to understand the difference in opportunities in experience for Black athletic directors compared to white athletic directors. Implications reveal insights regarding Black athletic directors' challenges and limited opportunities-which confirm the hegemonic situation in sport leadership-and strategies for overcoming barriers.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 139 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The role of interactions between Athletic Directors, Coaches, and Staff on organizational structure and culture was examined using a phenomenological case study approach at a selected NCAA Division III athletic department. 18 individuals identified within the department, with various experiences were interviewed and asked to complete two scales: LSS (Chelladurai & Saleh, 1980) and Grit (Duckworth et al., 2007). From the data collected, there were five main themes and ten attributes that emerged from the data: 1) Communication, 2) Relationships, 3) Institutional support, 4) Philosophy/mission/vision, and 5) Leadership style; trust, compassion, empowerment, autonomy, consistency, competence, accountability, responsibility, respect, and ownership. The methodology of the study covered development of organizational culture and structure within the setting of a selected NCAA Division III institution. The results from the current study aimed to provide professionals in the field of NCAA Division III intercollegiate athletics with a framework to develop a positive culture that empowers the members within and to examine culture development and leadership styles across NCAA Divisions.

This book was released on 2009-04-21 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After decades of domination on campus, college sports' supremacy has begun to weaken. "Enough, already!" detractors cry. College is about learning, not chasing a ball around to the whir of TV cameras. In Intercollegiate Athletics and the American University James Duderstadt agrees, taking the view that the increased commercialization of intercollegiate athletics endangers our universities and their primary goal, academics. Calling it a "corrosive example of entertainment culture" during an interview with ESPN's Bob Ley, Duderstadt suggested that college basketball, for example, "imposes on the university an alien set of values, a culture that really is not conducive to the educational mission of university." Duderstadt is part of a growing controversy. Recently, as reported in The New York Times, an alliance between university professors and college boards of trustees formed in reaction to the growth of college sports; it's the first organization with enough clout to challenge the culture of big-time university athletics. This book is certainly part of that challenge, and is sure to influence this debate today and in the years to come. James J. Duderstadt is President Emeritus and University Professor of Science and Engineering, University of Michigan.

Download or read book Assessment of Leadership Traits Required for the Intercollegiate Athletic Director Position written by David A. Paitson and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to a) examine leadership traits of effective Athletic Directors and b) determine the differences and similarities between NCAA Division I, II,III, and NAIA University Presidents’ and Athletic Directors’ assessments of the methods of leadership required for the position of Director of Intercollegiate Athletics, with particular regards to Autocratic, Democratic, Positive Feedback, Training and Instruction, Social Support, and Situational Consideration Behaviors, which are concepts drawn from Zhang and others’s (1997) Revised Leadership Scale for Sports (RLSS), an instrument specifically designed to measure research on sports-specific leadership behavior. A purposive sampling design was implemented. Fourteen participants with extensive experience in NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA intercollegiate athletics were recruited to secure expert insight. Participants included four University Presidents and four Athletic Directors, one each from NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA institutions. Remaining participants included two Conference Commissioners, two Head Coaches, and two Senior Athletic Administrators, all from NCAA Division I institutions. Semistructured interviews were implemented (Krueger and Casey, 2000). A listing of traits required for the Athletic Director role were collected through an inductive approach. Answers to series of follow-up questions provided the in-depth details of each behavior mentioned in the initial response. A series of structured questions-with each intended to be representative of each of the six RLSS constructs to confirm the construct validity for the current research-were implemented utilizing a deductive approach. A classical content analysis was applied to address the research question. A holistic coding approach was taken in reviewing the participants’ initial descriptions to identify types of traits associated with the Athletic Director role. A descriptive open-coding process was utilized to carefully code the data line-by-line to capture the overall meaning intended. A constant comparison analysis was conducted to systematically condense data into codes and then to develop themes. As a result, the following themes emerged as the leadership traits required for the intercollegiate Athletic Director position: (a) communicator, (b) driven, (c) personable, (d) poised, (e) principled, (f) self-aware, (g) skilled, and (h) visionary. Recommendations for future research and practical implications are offered.
