Kapusta, Rebecca
ProQuest LLC, Ph.D. Dissertation, The Ohio State University
The purpose of this descriptive case study was to understand how authenticity, balance, and challenge were focused upon differently throughout the various stages of women?s careers in intercollegiate athletic administration. Specifically, the research emphasized the career needs of individuals who identified as women in intercollegiate athletic administration throughout their career journeys, having employed the Kaleidoscope Career Model (Mainiero & Sullivan, 2005), to focus upon authenticity, balance, and challenge. Eligible participants for this study encompassed women currently working full-time within athletic administration departments at Divisions I colleges or universities, associated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association. These positions included, but were not limited to, athletic directors, assistant athletic directors, SWAs, academic counselors, compliance coordinators, life skills coordinators, and ticket managers. Data collection included the corroboration between the multiple sources including interviews, professional work or LinkedIn profiles, and individual career timelines. A total of fourteen participants engaged in the study. Guided by Yin (2009), data analysis was conducted using pattern matching. The themes exhibited included authenticity, balance, challenge, favoring ABC, career stage, and emerging themes. Lastly, the study includes future research considerations, limitations, and implications for practice. [The dissertation citations contained here are published with the permission of ProQuest LLC.
