ABSTRACT:
One hundred ninety-two undergraduate physical education students participated in this study of the influence of individual differences, group, and task factors on respondents' preferences for teaching or coaching. The individual difference factors were gender, managerial potential (Gough, 1984), and sex role attributes (Spence & Helmreich, 1986). The group and task differences were measured by a specially developed scale that was factor analyzed to yield six factors: job status, job significance, job variety and control, job identity, ease of discipline, ease of motivation. Subgroup analyses showed that men preferred more to coach than women did, and women preferred more to teach than men did. Men and women perceived greater job variety in coaching and greater control in teaching. The genders did not differ in managerial motivation or in any of the other perceived characteristics of the teaching and coaching roles. Finally, preference for teaching or coaching was influenced by gender, perceived ease of motivating students and athletes, and perceived job variety. These results were discussed in relation to existing literature, and future research directions are identified.
