Women collegiate sport employees: Organizational elements of workplace and engagement

This study investigated the representation of women collegiate sport employees in the United States. Previous job engagement research has not focused exclusively on women in collegiate sport organizations. Utilizing person-organization fit (P-O fit) and perceived organizational success to predict engagement, the relative neglect of identifying antecedents of job engagement for women sport employees was explored. The analysis revealed that American collegiate sport employees’ P-O fit influences job engagement; however, women’s perceived organizational success did not influence their engagement in the workplace. Moreover, the findings uncover how women sport employees’ fit influences their job engagement in the sport workplace. The implications of this study indicate the approach for enhanced organizational performance and capacity of women sport employees.
