Resumen de Examining the Relationships Among Coaching Staff Diversity, Perceptions of Diversity, Value Congruence, and Life Satisfaction
The purpose of this study was to examine relationships among coaching staff diversity, perceptions of diversity, value congruence, and life satisfaction. Data were collected from 71 coaching staffs (N = 196 coaches). Observed path analysis was used to examine the study predictions. Results indicate that actual staff diversity was positively related to perceptions of such heterogeneity, which were negatively related to value congruence among the coaches. Finally, value congruence was positively associated with life satisfaction of members of the coaching staff. Results are discussed in terms of research and practical implications
