Funded Activity Summary

Development of a predictive model for the retention of sports officials. The Australian sport system is facing a critical shortage of sports officials. Over five years the number of officials has declined by 120,000 (26%). Research has not examined the efficacy of organisational support strategies to arrest this decline. Based on commitment, stress and the mediating effect of organisational support this project addresses the retention issue by developing a predictive model of the factors that influence stay/leave behaviour of officials. The outcomes will contribute to a range of evidence-based strategies that will help maximise retention of officials. The project will enhance the sustainability of the Australian sport system and advance retention behaviour research in the emerging field of sport management.
