ABSTRACT
Rationale/Purpose
Much work in sport management demonstrates the importance of the work-life interface across positions in sport, including investigations of coaches, front office staff, and training staff. However, ongoing arguments suggest that understanding the work-family balance patterns of executives may be of particular importance. The purpose of this paper is to identify patterns of work-life balance strategies among successful executive sport managers.
Design/Methodological Approach
Following a qualitative descriptive approach this study utilized in-depth semi-structured interviews with a sample of 30 mid-late career head coach executives.
Findings
The results revealed a typology of six prevalent strategies for work-family balance: Segmentor, Successful Spillover, Spillover Afflicted, Compensator, Work Accommodator, and Family Accommodator.
Practical Implications
This study provides a helpful taxonomy for tailoring human resource management policies and practices for this valuable employee segment.
Research Contribution
From a theoretical perspective, this study helps inform ways to move beyond strictly a role conflict and into a role balance perspective. It also provides insight into the ways that scarcity and enhancement role theories interact in context.

担任首席执行官的教练:为体育主管制定工作与家庭之间的平衡分类法
摘要
理由/目的
运动管理方面的许多工作证明了跨运动岗位的工作生活界面的重要性,包括对教练,前台人员和培训人员的调查。然而,持续不断的争论表明,了解高管人员的工作与家庭平衡模式可能特别重要。本文的目的是确定成功的高管运动经理之间的工作与生活平衡策略的模式。
设计/方法论方法
遵循定性描述方法,本研究采用了深度半结构化访谈,并抽取了30位中晚期职业主管教练高管的样本。
发现
结果揭示了工作与家庭平衡的六种流行策略的类型:细分者,成功溢出,受累溢出,补偿者,工作适应者和家庭适应者。
实际影响
这项研究为为这一宝贵的员工细分量身定制人力资源管理政策和实践提供了有用的分类法。
研究贡献
从理论的角度来看,这项研究有助于为从严格的角色冲突转变为角色平衡的观点提供信息。它还提供了关于稀缺性和增强角色理论在上下文中交互的方式的见解。
