Journal Title: Polish Journal of Management Studies - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
In order to acquire optimal performance from coaches, sport organisations provide various mechanisms in an attempt to improve their management of sport coaches. Demonstrating support for their coaches, by proving adequate resources and rewards, proper supervisor support, organisational fairness, organisational support afforded to coaches are vehicles through which organizations’ management can elicit the optimal performance from their workforce. The study is located within a quantitative research paradigm and adopts a cross sectional survey to collect data from 151 coaches who were purposefully selected from various sport organisations in the Gauteng province of South Africa. The results of the regression analysis demonstrate that rewards, supervisor support and organisational support are strong predictors for coaches to remain within their current organisation. Organisational fairness seems to negatively impact on coaches intention to remain within their respective organisations. It is recommended that in managing sport coaches sport organisations should create a favourable environment that positively nurtures coaches’ intentions to remain within their current organisations. More specifically, the current reward system, the organization’s fairness towards coaches, support from supervisors and general organisational support should be a target for enhancement in order to foster the relationship between coaches and their respective organisation that they work for. These antecedents can offer insights that are particularly valuable to coaches’ management and sport organisations seeking to nurture interactions with their coaches in order for them to remain in their current organisation.<br/><br/>
