The purpose of this study was to examine the job satisfaction of Black and White male head coaches of the predominantly Black and predominantly White colleges. A sample of 254 coaches were selected from 25 predominantly Black and 70 predominantly White colleges located in the southeast region of the United States. The respondents were requested to complete a personal data sheet and a 50-item job satisfaction questionnaire inquiring how they felt about their jobs. The instrument was designed following the summative model with a Likert scale running from 1-5. The results provided 13 sub-scores and a total job satisfaction score: Work demands, working conditions, administration/organization, pay, job security, personal initiative, recognition, racial balance, organization, personal satisfaction, decision making, satisfaction with work, work difficulty, and total score. The data were reported in three parts: (a) demographic data, (b) data related to racial matching of coaches and institutions, and (c) data related to racial matching of coaches and athletes. Analysis of variance was used to analyze the data. Descriptive statistics was used to report the demographic data. The results of this investigation indicated that the integrated work environment did not have a significant effect on the job satisfaction of head coaches. The data revealed that coaches working in the predominantly Black schools were less satisfied than coaches working in the predominantly White schools, but racial matching of coaches and environment did not affect job satisfaction. The coaches were more satisfied with the intrinsic variables related to their jobs (personal initiative, personal satisfaction, etc.) and dissatisfied with the extrinsic variables related to their jobs (pay, working conditions, etc.). The overall findings indicated that this population of coaches was extremely satisfied with their jobs. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 42-10, Section: A, page: 4354. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1981.
