The purpose of this study was to examine the relation between the managerial behaviors, individual characteristics, educational effect, and achievements in sports events. The subjects were 259 managers of men's and women's basketball clubs of high schools in Japan. The managerial behaviors were defined by seven elements: bringing up club members, information management, creating an environment, maintaining discipline, management by objectives, initiative of innovation, and building trust. The data for analysis were gathered by mailing questionnaire surveys, conducted between September and October 2015.
The results were summarized as follows:
1）The managers who positively executed managerial behaviors had certified licenses for coaching and refereeing issued by the Japan Basketball Association; were teachers of health and physical education; had experience as players for 10 years or more; and had played in national basketball competitions.
2）There was a positive correlation between the managerial behaviors that were “bringing up club members”, “information management”, “management by objectives” and the educational effects of both the clubs.
3）There was a positive correlation between “maintaining discipline” and the educational effects of the men's clubs.
4）There was a positive correlation between “building trust” and the educational effects of the women’s clubs.
5）There was a positive high correlation between “creating an environment” and the achievements in sports events of both the clubs.
6）There was a positive correlation between “bringing up club members”, “building trust”, and the achievements in sports events of the men’s clubs.
7）There was a significant difference（men's clubs > women’s clubs）of four items in “bringing up club members”,“ information management”, and “creating an environment”.
8）There was a significant difference（women’s clubs > men's clubs）of two items in “building trust”.
