ABSTRACT:
Although administrators of physical education and sport programs have been the focus of considerable research, one area that has been neglected is the design of administrative positions and its influence on the levels of satisfaction and motivation experienced by administrators. This study was undertaken to address this deficiency. The relationship between job design and worker attitudes and behaviors has been examined in business and industry for many years and a number of models have been developed. The Job Characteristics Model of job design developed by Hackman and Oldham (1976, 1980) provided the theoretical framework for the study. The sample for the study consisted of administrators in physical education, intercollegiate athletics, and recreation/intramural programs in selected Canadian and American universities. The analyses showed significant differences between this sample and the general working population with respect to perceptions of job design and levels of satisfaction and motivation. Gender and nationality had minimal effect on the administrators' perceptions.
