Due to the nature of the study, the quantitative approach has been used. Data has been collected by distributing a 2-domain questionnaire: the role of the athletic knowledge management in achieving the competitive advantage in the sports work environment and the contributions of the athletic knowledge management in improving the sports work environment. Results. The results show that 98% of the participants believed that knowledge management plays a crucial role in achieving a competitive advantage in the sports work environment and improving the sports work environment.

“…It also shows that there is no significant difference in statistics anxiety between the male and female respondents. Multivariate regression analysis takes into account the simultaneous relationship between academic procrastination, perfectionism, gender and statistics anxiety (Bakkabulindi and Sekabembe, 2010). The results from multiple regression analysis are shown in Table 7.…”

This study contended that learning statistics and its rudiments were perceived as complicated compared to some other courses offered at the university level. Further, this investigation contested the existence of statistics anxiety among postgraduate students in an in-site university setting. Relationships and differences were determined in this study utilizing the constructs of antecedents of statistics anxiety namely academic procrastination, perfectionism, and gender. The objectives were (1) to establish the relationship between academic procrastination and statistics anxiety; (2) to find out the relationship between perfectionism and statistics anxiety; and (3) to investigate the differences between gender and statistics anxiety. The data from randomly selected 136 postgrad students (Kampala International University, Uganda) referring to dispositional (procrastination and perfectionism) and environmental antecedents (gender) and statistics anxiety were scientifically elicited, processed and analyzed utilizing the quantitativepost positivist's research paradigm model. The findings revealed a positive but insignificant relationship between academic procrastination and statistics anxiety; a significant adverse correlation between perfectionism and statistics anxiety; an insignificant positive correlation existed between gender and statistics anxiety, and differences in statistics anxiety between the female and male students existed. Notably from the results then, academic procrastination did not significantly affect the students' statistics anxiety; the students with higher levels of perfectionism tended to have lower levels of statistics anxiety while the levels of statistics anxiety among the female students were slightly greater than that of the male students.

This paper argues that Rogers' Innovation Diffusion Theory (IDT) is the original theory for guiding research on innovation diffusion and/ or adoption, from which the more recent theories have been derived. Hence, the paper suggests a framework based on the IDT, and derives 14 hypotheses for future research, basing on a review of recent literature. The framework divides the correlates of diffusion and/ or adoption of innovations into three categories: individual adopter characteristics, perceived innovation characteristics and social system or organizational characteristics. In terms of individual adopter characteristics, it is hypothesized that interaction with change agents, training and cosmopolitanism positively relate to the adoption of innovations, while age and income are negatively and positively related to the adoption of innovations respectively. Gender is related to the adoption of innovations in a way that males are more apt. Regarding perceived innovation characteristics, the perceived relative advantage, compatibility, user friendliness and 'observability' are postulated to be positively related to the adoption of innovations. On organizational characteristics, it is postulated that each of organizational readiness for change, culture, size and leader's change management style is positively related to the adoption of innovations. Gaps in the studies reviewed are highlighted.
