Palmer, Jocelyn Anne, and n/a. "Attitudes of Australian sports administrators to unions, awards and enterprise bargaining." University of Canberra. Human & Biomedical Sciences, 2000. http://erl.canberra.edu.au./public/adt-AUC20061027.144327.
Full textAbstract:
Sport, once an amateur pursuit has evolved in to a lucrative industry. The most
recent development in the evolution of Australian sport has been the emergence of
industrial regulation. Unlike other Australian labour markets, the sports administrators
labour market was entirely market regulated until 1994. Over the last five years the sports
administrators labour market has transformed into a centralised award based system. On
the surface it appears that there is no obvious explanation for the dramatic re-regulation of
this labour market. In order to determine the factors behind the re-regulation, this thesis
investigated Australian sports administrators attitudes to unionism, awards and enterprise
bargaining, including their preferences to awards and enterprise bargaining agreements.
The attitudes of 229 Australian sports administrators were surveyed. The response rate was
67.25%. Findings from the survey indicated a number of points: (1) union membership
predicted 8% of their attitude to unionism, (2) non union members were more likely to have
positive and accepting attitudes to unions, (3) sports administrators working under
Enterprise Bargaining agreements had more positive and accepting attitudes of unions, (4)
Enterprise Bargaining was considered to be more beneficial than not in sport, (5) Enterprise
Bargaining had more than double the support of Award regulation, and (6)Award
regulation had almost equal amounts of rejection and support.
Other results indicated that the sports administrators labour market remained market
regulated until 1994 because a majority of sports administrators belonged to demographic
groups which were less inclined to become union members. Factors behind the reregulation
were determined to be: strong support for targeted services within workplaces
rather than generic services across an industry, and strong support for increased union
interaction when negotiating terms and conditions of employment which effects sports
administrators' attitudes to unionism. It was evident that the re-regulation was not caused
by a large shift in the attitudes of sports administrators or a result of problems stemming
from the market being entirely by market regulation. It is more than likely that the sudden
re-regulation of the sports administrators labour market was the sports industry's first step
towards industrial maturity.

Full textAbstract:
Recognizing that the percentage of females in NCAA Division I athletic department leadership positions lag far behind their male counterparts, this study sought to learn about the lived experiences of females who have reached a senior level, defined as associate athletic director and athletic director using narrative inquiry.
The purpose of this study was to record the lived experiences of senior-level women administrators in intercollegiate athletics. Data was gathered through in-person interviews. Participants were asked to describe the paths their careers have followed, including the factors, issues, and circumstances that they feel have shaped the process by which they made career decisions.
Four primary themes from the participants’ backgrounds and life stories emerged that influenced the paths of the participants’ careers. They were: (1) the willingness and desire to take on challenges and opportunities; (2) the importance of family considerations, (3) influence of support they received from colleagues and people they came in contact within athletics; and (4) the impact of lack of support they received from colleagues and people they came in contact within athletics during their careers. This study revealed the presence of a strong sense of efficacy within the participants, which influenced the persistence of the participants in pursuing this particular career path, even when faced with obstacles. Finally, these participants offered advice, based on their career experiences to other current and future female athletic administrators. Policy implications and recommendations for institutions and athletic departments are provided.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to compare NCAA Division III male and female athletic administrators, coaches of men's and women's basketball, coaches of men's and women's tennis, coaches of men's baseball and women's softball, and athletes in those same sport regarding perceptions of gender equity in athletics at their own institution. Data on individual perceptions of equity attainment were obtained through a mail-out survey sent to 1895 individuals at a random sampling of 100 NCAA Division III schools.The results of the survey indicated that at least 70% of the respondents perceived there to be gender equity in 13 of the 20 items tested, while over 50% of the respondents perceived there to be gender equity in 18 of 20 items. Five null hypothesis were posited for the independent variables of gender, group affiliation, sport coached, and sport played. Each of the null hypotheses failed to be accepted (alpha = .05) in a multivariate analysis of variance(MANOVA).Further, when a series of analyses of variances (ANOVAs) were performed, significant differences at the .05 level were found in 4 of the 5 dependent variables tested: program support, financial support, sports offerings, scheduling, and changes in the past 2-3 years. For the interaction of gender and group affiliation, a significant difference was found in program support only.Females perceived there to be less equity than males in all factors. Athletes perceived there to be less equity than athletic directors in program support, financial support and changes; and less equity than coaches in program support and scheduling.Coaches of women's softball and women's basketball perceived there to be less equity in program support than coaches of men's sports. Coaches of women's sports indicated less equity than coaches of men's sports in financial support. Women's team captains perceived less equity than men's team captains in financial support. Women's softball players perceived less equity than other team captains in program support, while women's tennis perceived less equity than men's team captains in program support.For changes in the past two years, each gender indicated the opposite was favored. For other dependent variables, when an advantage was registered, the advantagefavored the men.Department of Educational Leadership

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of college athletic department administrators (athletic directors, faculty representatives, football coaches, and basketball coaches) toward the athletic and academic achievement of student athletes and to compare administrators' perceptions with those of student athletes (NCAA, 1988). The review of literature discussed the history and development of the NCAA, college admission predictors, standardized tests, involvement of high schools in academic preparation of student athletes, and the NCAA legislation of Propositions 48 and 42. Additionally, programs which satisfy the needs and validate the credibility of student athletes and educational institutions are suggested. A questionnaire was designed to measure the attitudes of college athletic department administrators toward the academic and athletic accomplishments of student athletes. The results were then compared to a similar study completed by the NCAA (1988) on student athletes' attitudes toward these issues. The findings revealed significant group differences among athletic directors, faculty representatives, football coaches, and basketball coaches and significant comparative differences between the two studies. The data indicated that the responses of athletic directors and faculty representatives were often similar, as were those of football and basketball coaches. On questions that supported academics, athletic directors and faculty representatives were much more sympathetic than coaches. When the question promoted athletic concepts, coaches were more supportive than athletic directors or faculty representatives. When an issue involved both academics and athletics, the gap was reduced but athletic directors and faculty representatives showed stronger support than coaches. Comparison of the two studies confirmed strong opposition by athletes to questions on athletic eligibility. Student athletes were consistently negative on any issue threatening their eligibility, whereas athletic department administrators were generally supportive. When academic questions were addressed, student athletes were supportive though not as positive in their responses as athletic department administrators. Many of the responses and comparisons were anticipated and emulated recent research.

Full textAbstract:
What happened to women who are former athletic directors of intercollegiate athletic programs during each of the four stages of the departing experience was the problem of this study. A qualitative design using personal interviews for data collection and ethnoscientific explanation for analysis of the data were used to study thirty-one women who were athletic directors between 1975 and 1986. Analytical tasks performed for each of the four levels of analysis helped answer research questions directed toward finding patterns among women in the following areas: what happened to them within and throughout the four stages of the departing experience, reasons they left the position of athletic director, and satisfaction in their subsequent job.
Analysis of the data established that the departing experience occurred in four stages. How the subjects responded to the way that opportunities for female student-athletes were offered during each st3ge of the departing experience determined whether they were in positive or negative circumstances. Sixteen subjects either were in positive circumstances throughout the departing experience or ended it in positive circumstances. Fifteen subjects were either in negative circumstances throughout the departing experience or ended it in negative circumstances.
The ability to reevaluate their beliefs and values, adapt to changes in their programs, make rational decisions, and influence others to support their decisions determined whether they were in positive or negative circumstances in each stage of the departing experience. In general, the findings of this study support literature on women in administrative positions and literature on the effects of job loss and job change.

The intent of this investigation was to examine age and gender differences in neuromuscular adaptations following 12 wks of progressive resistance training(PRT). 39 healthy, untrained individuals were divided into four groups: older men((OM); 70±1.67; n=9), older women((OW); 73.75±1.76;n=8), young men((YM); 25.9±2; n=6) and young women((YW);22.2±1.2; n=6). Subjects participated in a bi-lateral knee extensor PRT consisting of 2 sets of 10 repetitions and 1 set to volitional failure at 80% of their onerepetition maximum(1RM), 3 days per week. Prior to and after completion of the PRT, subjects' right thigh muscles were evaluated for cross-sectional area (CSA) via computed tomography, maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC), specific tension((ST);MVC/CSA), maximal neuromuscular drive(IEMG), and 1RM. Subcutaneous needle biopsies were also taken from the subjects' right vastus lateralis pre and post PRT. CSA increased (time, P<0.05) in all four groups following the PRT (4.35%+0.94 to 7.31%+3.87). Excluding OW, each group displayed an improvement (time, P<0.05) in MVC (OM 28.7%+5.06, YM 17.4%+5.8, and YW 17.8%±10.3). OM and YM demonstrated increases (time, P<0.05) in ST after completion of the PRT, 21.67%+4.88 and 12.5%+5.1, respectively. These two groups also improved (timeXgender, P<0.05) over their gender counterparts for this variable. IEMG increased (time, P<0.05) in OM and YM (37.8%+12.3 and 43.26+12.54, respectively) and both groups also showed improvements (timeXgender, P<0.05) over their gender counterparts. 1RM increased (time, P<0.05) in all groups (34.9%+7.9 to 57.3%+8). OW showed an increase (time, P<0.05) in the CSA of the MHC type Ha fibers. No other changes in single fiber CSA occurred. While all groups displayed increases in CSA and strength, ST and IEMG data indicate that neuromuscular drive may influence strength increases seen with resistance training to a greater extent in males than females, regardless of age.School of Physical Education

Full textAbstract:
Within the past three years, men's track and field teams were being eliminated in the Mid-American Conference (MAC). Gender equity legislation, namely Title IX, was being blamed for those cuts. By probing the beliefs and opinions of coaches and administrators, a more accurate representation of gender equity could be drawn. The focus of this study was to gain a greater understanding of how gender equity is perceived by Mid-American Conference (MAC) athletic administrators and coaches.Q-methodology was chosen as the most relevant method to achieve the desired outcome. This method would take the subjective opinions and beliefs of the subjects and transform them into numbers that could be analyzed. The resulting information would create factors, or groups,which would help draw some conclusions on the true impact of gender equity legislation in the MAC.The subjects of this study provided two distinct factors labeled: "Title IX Defenders" and "Title IX Amenders." Title IX Defenders felt adamant that Title IX should not be altered. They primarily wanted to protect the integrity of the legislation. Title IX Amenders felt that Title IX should be altered to prevent further damage to men's non-revenue athletes, while continuing to protect female athletes.Department of Journalism

Texas 5A high school and junior college athletic directors' perceptions concerning graduate courses and competencies relating to athletic director performance were investigated. Graduate courses needing emphasis for prospective directors, most and least beneficial graduate courses, perceptions of values of graduate courses, and selected skills necessary for performance of duties were ranked. Significant differences of perceptions of values of graduate courses between 5A high school and junior college athletic directors were found using chi square. Significant differences between graduate course areas and competency areas in Communications, Technical, Business and Public Relations were found utilizing a t-test. 5A athletic directors receive adequate preparation in Communications. Junior college athletic directors receive adequate preparation in Business and Public Relations.

Full textAbstract:
The position of director of intercollegiate athletics represents the highest administrative position in athletics in colleges and universities. During the days of the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), 90% of the women's programs were coached and administered by women. Shortly after the implementation of Title IX in 1972, this trend began to change and most women's programs began to fall under the leadership of male coaches and administrators. During the summer of 1982, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) took control of the AIAW forcing women administrators to take a backseat to their male colleagues. This lack of administrative and coaching representation has also resulted in fewer role models for female athletes.This study was designed to compare the qualifications of men and women directors of intercollegiate athletics to determine if the women must be more qualified than theirmale counterparts to hold the same position. This study may also serve as a blueprint for women in athletics as to the qualifications and experiences necessary in their attaining a position of director of intercollegiate athletics.The results of a survey questionnaire to 200 male directors of NCAA Division I, II, III, and NAIA colleges, with a return rate of 52.3%, were compared to an early study conducted on female directors to determine if the qualifications between the two genders were different. The educational results were very similar between the two genders, with both maintaining that a master's degree was extremely important in attaining their positions. Both genders also confirmed that at least one year of experience in athletic administration was crucial to their appointment as director of athletics.In examining the qualifications of both men and women who hold athletic administrative positions, it was not conclusive that educationally or professionally, the women were more qualified than their male colleagues. The responses to the survey by both men and women were very similar in their beliefs of what was important in attaining their current positions.School of Physical Education

There have been statewide concussion policies implemented in all 50 states and the District of Columbia to address the problem of sports-related concussions in youth athletes. The efforts to implement the requirements of these laws have mainly focused on high school athletics, despite evidence that pre-high school youth athletes who participate in organized community sports through recreation sport organizations are sustaining concussions at a similar rate as high school athletes. Thus, this study explored the implementation of the Maryland concussion law in youth sports recreation organizations in Laurel, Maryland that serve pre-high school youth athletes aged 5-14 years. A qualitative approach was utilized to conduct this study. Administrators of such youth sports and recreation organizations were interviewed to answer the central research question about how the Maryland concussion law is being implemented in youth sport recreation organizations in the state. The diffusion of innovations theory was the theoretical framework used to guide this study as well as to explore barriers to and facilitators of implementing this policy. NVivo software was used to analyze the data, and the results identified concussion training, guidelines, resources, and policing as integral to implementation of the policy. These findings can be used to inform policies, implementation, and best practices for this policy. Thus the individual and community implications for positive social change include behavior change to prevent, identify, and manage concussions in youth athletes to reduce the potential impact of concussions in youth athletes.

McGill, Jacqueline Michelle. "Senior Woman Administrator: The Definition, Challenges, Influence, and Perceptions." TopSCHOLAR®, 2017. http://digitalcommons.wku.edu/theses/1965.
Full textAbstract:
Diversity efforts implemented by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) hope to improve the Association through the addition of multiple voices in athletics. Notably, the Senior Woman Administrator (SWA) designation is intended to encourage and promote the involvement of female administrators in meaningful ways in the decision-making process in intercollegiate athletics. This role, created under Article 4.02.4 of the NCAA constitution, is to be filled by the highest ranking female in each NCAA athletic department or member conference (Levick, 2002; Raphaely, 2003). Given the evolving definition and nature of the SWA designation and of female managerial roles (Eagly & Karau, 2002), there exists a question as to whether the SWA designation has provided the scope of decision-making and authority suggested in the NCAA definition of the designation. Research must show if SWAs are able to use their power and give different opinions. It must also uncover if there is still a need for the SWA role and if the title is still appropriate for this designation.

Full textAbstract:
Research indicates that the advancement of women into top management positions is steadily increasing. However, it seems as if gender divisions in the workforce do not encourage equal opportunities for women in the labor sector. In the world of sport, gender equity has been promoted with some progress. However, this progress, both globally and in South Africa, is still limited both quantitatively and qualitatively. There has been very little research on the experiences of women in leadership positions, specifically in the field of sport. This study explored the experiences of female sports administrators in the workplace. This study employed a qualitative research methodology. Purposive sampling was used to select suitable candidates in the field of sport and recreation in the Western Cape, South Africa. Data was collected by using semi-structured interviews and data was analysed using thematic analysis. Results indicate that participants in this study experience gender bias in the workplace in terms of differential treatment, organizational fit and harassment and intimidation. Conclusions and recommendations are also offered.

Title IX establishes in law equal opportunity for women in educational programs that receive financial support from the federal government. In higher education in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, the misapplication of Title IX in college athletics is believed to have caused the termination of college wrestling programs that were otherwise successful programs. A review of the literature suggests an absence of research on Title IX and men’s varsity wrestling. This novel study included the perceptions of wrestling coaches and athletic administrators on Title IX in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, which is nationally known for its participation in the sport of wrestling. A quantitative approach was selected because it afforded the opportunity to include a greater number of subjects than a qualitative study, and the opportunity to generalize the results to other states. The descriptive survey approach allowed subjects to respond to questions administered through an online survey, using the SurveyMonkey® platform and a new instrument called the Title IX Inventory (TIXI). The subjects for this study included college wrestling coaches, institution presidents, and athletic administrators. The data from 49 electronic SurveyMonkey® surveys completed by participants were analyzed. Findings from Pearson correlations revealed that coaches with more years of experience with wrestling are more negative in their perceptions of the impact of Title IX. A one-way ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey tests showed that athletic administrators have a consistently more supportive attitude about the impact of Title IX. Suggestions for future research include studies on institutional presidents’ perceptions; college athletes’ perceptions; and various forms of Title IX compliance pursued by U.S. colleges and universities, specifically as it is applied to varsity athletics.

Full textAbstract:
It may be argued that there are fewer sporting environments where politics and sport are so intertwined, however having undergone significant socio-political changes and development, South Africa (SA) remains a strong sporting nation with a rich and complex sporting history. After 28 years of sporting isolation, following SA's re-entry to international competition in 1992, the country has since competed at international level and immediately reasserted itself as one of the top cricketing nations in the world. With very little non-politicised literature on the subject, the question of what SA's talent development environment looks like in order to produce internationally competitive teams, after 28 years of isolation, remains relatively un-reviewed. In light of this, the SA cricket development environment offers a unique opportunity to explore one of SA's oldest and most established sports. The focus of this thesis will provide a pragmatic and holistic picture of the South African cricket development environment across four features, Organisational Culture, Structural Change, Coach Development and Coach-Administrator Relationships. Consequently, the aims of this thesis are fourfold: 1. To explore the use of an existing organisational framework, the Cultural Web, from the domain of organisational culture management to investigate organisational culture within SA cricket development environment. 2. To gather an understanding of the development pathway of SA cricketers and investigate if the changes made to the provincial structure in 2004 have impacted on the pre-2004 development trajectory of a SA cricketer. 3. To explore the learning and development environment of SA cricket coaches and their career progression. 4. To explore and illuminate the operational relationship between the coach and the administration within the context of SA cricket.

Le contrat de partenariat public privé, est défini par l’ordonnance susvisée comme « un contrat administratif par lequel l'Etat ou un établissement public de l'Etat confie à un tiers, pour une période déterminée en fonction de la durée d'amortissement des investissements ou des modalités de financement retenues, une mission globale ayant pour objet la construction ou la transformation, l'entretien, la maintenance, l'exploitation ou la gestion d'ouvrages, d'équipements ou de biens immatériels nécessaires au service public, ainsi que tout ou partie de leur financement à l'exception de toute participation au capital.Il peut également avoir pour objet tout ou partie de la conception de ces ouvrages, équipements ou biens immatériels ainsi que des prestations de services concourant à l'exercice, par la personne publique, de la mission de service public dont elle est chargée ». La notion de partenariat public privé, est tout à fait adaptée et d'ailleurs utilisée pour le développement des équipements sportifs. Aujourd’hui les nouveaux équipements, au niveau de l’investissement et du fonctionnement, tendent à faire intervenir les financements privés. Cette tendance est, notamment remarquée pour les grands projets d’équipements structurants comme les grands stades, soit pour la France soit pour les pays du Golf Arabe. Dès lors, le contrat de partenariat public-privé, est une solution pour restaurer le parc d’installations et d’équipements sportifs.Pour la France, l’attribution de l’euro 2016à la France, a été l’occasion d’accomplir des projets de construction et/ou rénovation, à travers la forme de contrat de partenariat, des stades de Lille, Marseille, Nice et Bordeaux.Concernant la législation des pays du golf arabe, le contrat de partenariat public-privé, « est un contrat conclu entre la direction gouvernementale et la société du projet, dont ladite société s’engage d’exécuter le projet selon les disposition de cette loi, et les clauses prévues au contrat, dans une durée fixée et en contrepartie d’une rémunération ».Le droit saoudien, a précisé que le contrat de partenariat entre le secteur public et le secteur privé, porte sur la relation contractuelle, entre le secteur public et le secteur privé, cette relation est soumise à cette loi et au contrat de partenariat, et dont l’objectif est l’exécution partielle ou totale du projet pour garantir la réussite des projets PPP. Une telle réussite reste conditionnée par le cadre législatif dans lequel ce projet est mis en place et ses conditions de financement.Dans cette perspective, les pays du CCG ont mis en place des cadres législatifs pour contrôler la gestion et le financement desdits projets surtout après la chute des prix du pétrole et par la suite des ressources financières de ces gouvernements. Le cadre législatif régissant la pluralité des projets PPP dans ces pays sont régis par une cadre juridique largement inspirée du cadre françaisThe public-private partnership contract is defined as an administrative contract by which the State or a public institution of the State entrusts to a third party, for a period determined according to the depreciation period of the investments or financing modalities retained, a global mission for the construction or transformation, maintenance, maintenance, operation or management of works, equipment or immaterial goods necessary for the public service, as well as all or part of their financing except for any shareholding. It may also have as its object all or part of the design of such works, equipment or immaterial goods as well as services that contribute to the exercise by the public corporation of the public service mission for which it is responsible. The concept of public-private partnership is suitable and moreover used for the development of sports equipment. Today, new equipment, in terms of investment and operation, tends to involve private financing. This trend is particularly noticeable for large structuring equipment projects such as large stadiums, for France or for the Arab Gulf countries. Therefore, the public-private partnership contract is a solution to restore the park of sports facilities and equipment. The allocation of the Euro 2016 to France, was the opportunity to accomplish projects of construction and / or renovation, through the form of partnership contract, the stadiums of Lille, Marseille, Nice and Bordeaux

The purpose of this study was to determine if differences exist among NCAA
divisions I, II and III as well as between Athletic Directors and Primary Women Administrators
with regard to the perceived competencies and preparatory coursework required
of athletic administrators.
A mail survey utilizing a six point forced choice Likert rating scale was constructed
from a review of the literature and modifications of the survey instrument
"Athletic Club Managers Survey" developed by Lambrecht (1986). The questionnaire
contained 46 competency statements and 30 course content area statements as well as a
set of demographic questions.
The 1987-88 NCAA Directory listed 466 institutions which employed both an
Athletic Director and a Primary Woman Administrator. Two hundred five of these
institutions were systematically randomly selected and received two questionnaires, one
for the Athletic Director and one for the Primary Woman Administrator. Three hundred
and forty-nine questionnaires were returned yielding an 85% response rate.
It was hypothesized that there were no significant differences between the
responses of athletic administrators from the three divisions of the NCAA with regard to
the competency and course content area statements. The analysis of variance technique
was used to analyze the data. Where differences existed the Newman-Keuls test was
employed to determine the location. The null hypothesis was rejected for 20 competency
items and 17 course content area items.
Athletic Directors and Primary Women Administrators were also studied. Fifteen
competency items and 14 course content area items were rejected in this comparison.
The top six ranked competency items were: 1. Enforce NCAA Rules, 2. Human
Relations, 3. Staff Communications, 4. Decision Making Process, 5. Budget Preparation
and Control, and 6. Interpret NCAA Rules. These top six ranked competency items were
the same in each division, although the order of importance varied. Competency items
were rated higher than course content area items. Of the top 16 items with means above
5.0, only three items were course content area items. Public Relations, Speech and
Writing were the top three ranked courses.
Results of this study indicate that there is limited significant difference among the
three NCAA Divisions or between Athletic Directors and Primary Women Administrators
in their perception of competencies and coursework necessary for athletic administrators.Graduation date: 1990

The leadership role of sport administrators in South Africa is of prime importance as the local sports industry in South Africa is worth in excess of R2 billion annually. The most important variable in explaining sport administrators' success becomes leadership style. Sport administrators' roles are vital to the sporting industry and therefore the degree of job satisfaction they experience is of prime importance. The key objectives of the study were to determine the different styles of leadership available in sport administration departments, to identify factors affecting the progress and status of transformation in sport administration departments, to examine the factors affecting the progress of gender equity at tertiary institutions, to identify factors which influence job satisfaction or lack of it among sport administrators and coaches employed at tertiary institutions and to determine the organizational effectiveness of tertiary institution sport departments. The questionnaire was administered to 300 coaches who had to rate their sport administrators' leadership style and 140 sport administrators. A response rate of 78% (n=109) was obtained from sport administrators and 76% (n=227) were received from coaches. The data were analysed using the computer package SPSS. From the research the following conclusions can be drawn with respect to job satisfaction and leadership among sport administrators and coaches. The overall majority of the tertiary institution sport administrators adopted a transformational style of leadership. There was a lack of transformation in the industry and gender equity in the industry. There were reasonable de grees of satisfaction in the profession, however certain variables were more pronounced than others. The study proposed the following recommendations: Those sport administrators that are still practising a more transactional and laissez-faire approach to leadership should start adopting a more transformational approach to leadership. More females need to be placed in leadership positions at tertiary institution sport departments. With regard to transformation higher management at tertiary institutions should strive to create diversity by employing individuals from other race groups to ensure transformation at institutions of higher learning. This will also serve to rectify the imbalances of our past. Management at tertiary institutions should also strike a balance with regard to gender equity. With regard to improving coaches and sport administrators' job satisfaction higher management needs to adopt a policy of open communication between staff employed at the tertiary institution sport departments and themselves.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, 2007.

O presente estudo tem como objetivo elaborar uma análise comparativa entre o direito português e o direito espanhol em matéria de responsabilidade dos administradores das SAD's. Tendo em consideração o potencial do mercado internacional que é o futebol profissional, o legislador sentiu necessidade de criar um novo modelo organizativo- a SAD -, capaz de adequar a estrutura e gestão/administração das equipas a esta nova realidade desportiva. Urgia acompanhar esta nova dinâmica, captando investimento e assegurando a transparência e rigor na gestão, impondo ações de responsabilidade aos administradores que no exercício das suas funções adotem condutas culposas e ilícitas. Assim, por um lado temos o sistema português, cuja lei das sociedades desportivas ficou muito aquém do que seria esperado e, por outro lado temos o sistema espanhol que, apesar de idêntico ao nosso, revela um maior cuidado pelo legislador.This study aims to develop a comparative analysis between Portuguese and Spanish law regarding the responsibility of the administrators of public limited sports companies (PLC). Taking into account the potential of the international market that is professional football, the legislator felt the need to create a new organizational model, capable of adapting the structure and management / administration of the teams to this new sports reality - PLC. It was urgent to meet this new dynamic, capturing investment and ensuring transparency and accuracy in management, imposing actions of responsibility on administrators who, in the exercise of their functions, adopt culpable and illicit conduct. Thus, one hand, we have the Portuguese system, whose law on sports societies fell far short of what would be expected and, on the other hand, we have the Spanish system which, although identical to ours, reveals greater care by the legislator.

Full textAbstract:
Participation in Deaf sport is a major means of socialization in the Deaf community. It provides physical and psychological benefits, as well as opportunities for Deaf managers to further their leadership abilities. Given the importance of sport participation, and the prominence of Deaf sport organizations, it is incongruous that there is an under-representation of coaches and administrators who are Deaf in sport. Employing individual semi-structured interviews, data were gathered from five Deaf coaches and administrators currently employed within a predominately Deaf sport organization. First, the data were unitized, then categories were formed based on the similarities and differences of data being analyzed. Lastly, data were presented as themes best representing the experiences of the participants. Results indicate that Deaf coaches and administrators have interest working within hearing intercollegiate sports; however, oppression and overall disregard that Deaf coaches and administrators experience from the hearing world also serve to diminish these aspirations. The results of this study also suggest that Deaf coaches and administrators experience discriminatory treatment similar to that of other minority groups in the sport context. Furthermore, such discriminatory treatment encourages Deaf coaches and administrators to remain embedded within predominately Deaf sport organizations. This study allows for the voices of Deaf coaches and administrators to be heard while providing sport management practitioners and scholars with a better understanding of the discrimination Deaf individuals face.
