Differences in Organizational Commitment in Male & Female HS Coaches

The purpose of this research was to investigate the organizational commitment levels between male and female coaches at the high school level by using descriptive statistics. This study analyzed organizational commitment levels between male and female coaches at the Division I and III collegiate levels using Meyer, Allen, and Smith¿s (1993) Revised Commitment Survey, as well as seven personal characteristic questions, which were used to measure each participant¿s organizational commitment. There were 331 possible coaches (250 = male, 81 = female) who were eligible to participate in the study. Additional demographic questions were added to the survey regarding age, gender, kinship responsibilities, organizational tenure, occupational tenure, coaching level, and the sport coached.
