Exploring leadership and team culture: New faculty publication
Robin Vealey, professor of sport leadership and management at Miami University, and Corinne Zimmerman, M.S. ’22, collaborated with co-author Nicholas Myers to publish a study in the Journal for Advancing Sport Psychology in Research.
The article, “That’s How We Do Things Here: An Investigation into Athlete Perceptions of Coach and Peer Leadership Behaviors, and Team Culture,” examined how collegiate athletes perceive the leadership behaviors of head coaches and peers and their impact on team culture. The study, which surveyed 155 athletes from 17 NCAA teams, found that leadership behaviors of both coaches and peers significantly influenced athletes' perceptions of team culture, with coaches affecting communication and peers shaping social aspects.
The findings offer valuable insights for developing effective leadership and fostering positive team environments in sports.
