Administrative theory and practice in physical education and athletics

This collection of writings attempts to fulfill the need for practical preparation for administrative leadership. It provides alternative methods to the usual trial-and-error procedures by suggesting methods based on current management principles and the most recent theories of administration. Practical aspects of decision-making, planning, evaluating; technical administrative concerns of finance, public relations, and personnel are shown. The four parts of the book describe: (1) the background and development of administrative theory and practice in physical education; (2) the scope, methodology, summary, and findings concerning administrative processes including leadership, group cohesion, faculty job satisfaction, economic factors influencing athletics, communication, and environment; (3) technical administrative concerns such as human relations, planning and construction of facilities; employment theory and practice, and budgetary processes; and (4) philosophical recommendations for examining the present and the future.
