Abstract
In this paper, it was assumed that a large effect was expected when managerial behaviors (M. B.) adjusted to job characteristics in the managerial organization of physical education and sports. Based on this assumption, this paper aimed at examining interactive effects of M. B. and job characteristics about the evaluation on a physical education manager. Date were collected from 167 physical education managers in schools and 348 physical education teachers in lower secondary schools and high schools by questionnaire from March to April in 1988. Factor analysis showed that job characteristics were defined by five kinds of dimensions; trouble, autonomy, boundary spanning, ambiguity and repetitiveness. Following results were obtained by applications of hierarchical multiple regression analysis. The summary of the results was shown below: A main effect of M. B. on superiority or inferiority as a physical education manager was considerably large. But several significant interaction effects were found. In the case of self evaluation by managers, interaction effects of job ambiguity and consideration or expressing agenda, repetitiveness and supervision of job accomplishment were significant. In the more uncertain conditions, managers restrain their domestic supervisory behavior and promote independent activity by group members for raising self evaluation. On the other hand, job autonomy had interactive effect with all dimensions of M. B. on the evaluation of managers from the other members. As to the rest, interactions of boundary spanning or job ambiguity and some M. B. demensions were signficant, too. Able managers can accommodate to fluctuations in conditions. Group members feel more strongly the neccessity of adaptable M. B. than managers.
