The Relationship Between Sports Participation and Managerial Behavior: An Exploratory Study

Abstract

This thesis examined the popular, but empirically untested, notion that participation in organized sports has a positive relationship to management development. Exploration of this hypothesised relationship was performed within the context of U.S. Air Force program/project managers assigned to Aeronautical Systems Division (ASD), Wright-Patterson AFB. The methodology compared managerial behavior: (1) between program/project managers who have participated in organized sports (both team and individual) and between those who have participated in little or no sports at all; and (2) between those who have participated in different types of team sports.
