Abstract:
This research was conducted to identify the relationships between personality type and self-perceived and faculty-perceived managerial effectiveness among R.O.K. college and university sport and physical education program administrators. The research utilized the Type-A content scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (Mv1PI-2), to measure personality type, and the Professional and Managerial Position Questionnaire (PMPQ) to measure managerial performance. The sample consisted of 38 administrators and 139 faculty from college and university sport and physical education programs in the R.O.K. The researcher addressed three research questions: (1) identifying the personality types of R.O.K. administrators as Type-A/non-Type-A (2) determining the relationship between personality type and self-perceived effectiveness; and (3) determining the relationship between personality type of the administrator and faculty-perceived effectiveness. Spearman rank order correlation coefficients were utilized to measure the relationships between personality types and managerial effectiveness. The correlational analysis showed that no statistically significant associations existed between personality type and self-perceived or subordinate-perceived administrative effectiveness.
