“…Hancock and Hums (2016) found that women enhanced their competencies to overcome a perceived "lack of experience" in seeking to be promoted to senior levels. While a number of individual competencies, attributes and dispositions were important as career enablers for professional staff in HE, Won et al (2013) found that people skills and cooperation were critical to successful careers. This work on key competencies aligned with what women working in campus recreation administration reported as the most enjoyable aspect of their roleinteracting with people (Bower and Hums, 2003).…”

“…Two studies focussed on university departments: libraries (Kont and Jantson, 2013) and medical centres (Renkema et al, 2009). Two studies focussed on women working in campus athletic departments (Hancock and Hums, 2016;Won et al, 2013), and two examined women in recreation departments (Bower and Hums, 2003;Waller et al, 2015). Additionally, student affairs staff seem an important cohort for study due to high staff turnover (Marshall et al, 2016;Rosser and Javinar, 2003).…”

Purpose Human capital is a key component of the success of organisations, and career development of staff is a vital component to both increasing and retaining human capital. Universities are no different, their people are key to their mission. There has been limited rigorous study of the careers of professional staff in the academy. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach A systematic literature review methodology resulted in a review of 23 articles dedicated to research on careers of professional staff in higher education (HE). Thematic analysis identified a series of enablers and barriers that influence career development and progression. Findings Career enablers and barriers have been found to exist at both the institutional and individual levels. Within the HE context, professional staff have a hybrid career mindset, desiring traditional and more contemporary career factors, leading to a reciprocal relationship between the organisation and the individual. Research limitations/implications There is a need for future research to investigate the hybrid career mindset, and the reciprocal relationship, both to add depth to understanding of careers for professional staff in universities, and to examine this in other settings. Practical implications Universities may need to consider ways to integrate institutional support for high performance work systems (HPWS) with opportunities for professional staff, while individuals may need to consider adopting career self-management behaviours (CSMB) to fit their hybrid mindset. Originality/value This review has highlighted organisations and individuals will benefit if the relationship between HPWS and CSMB is better understood for the hybrid career mindset.

“…Self-efficacy is defined as an individual's perceived capability to execute a given task (Bandura, 1997). In the field of intercollegiate athletic administration, advancement is contingent on demonstration of competencies in leading others (e.g., Burton & Peachey, 2009;Won, Bravo, & Lee, 2013). Ultimately, one's sense of personal agency in a leadership position may reflect a range of developmentally facilitating and inhibiting factors.…”

We tested a range of facilitating and inhibiting antecedents of leader self-efficacy on a large sample of 692 women intercollegiate athletic administrators in National Collegiate Athletic Association registered institutions. Drawing from social cognitive theory (Bandura, 1997), we examined developmental challenges, peer and supervisor feedback and support, family-work conflict, and perceived gender discrimination as antecedents of leader self-efficacy. We also examined mediating roles of leader self-efficacy in career ascendance. Structural equation modeling results show that developmental challenges were indirectly related to career ascendance, as mediated through leader self-efficacy. Developmental challenges, peer and supervisor feedback, and support were positively related to leader selfefficacy, whereas family-work conflict was negatively related to leader self-efficacy. Perceived gender discrimination was not related to leader self-efficacy. These findings identify potential levers through which intercollegiate athletic institutions may support women leaders' career advancement.

“…No entanto, crê-se que estas são imprescindíveis no setor desportivo, uma vez que os serviços oferecidos dependem, maioritariamente, dos seus profissionais. Estas competências são também relevantes para a criação e manutenção de um bom ambiente de trabalho, o que conduz a uma maior cooperação por parte dos trabalhadores (Won et al, 2013). Nesta investigação ainda se analisaram as expetativas dos empregadores em relação às competências por si valorizadas e foi possível constatar a importância das Instituições de Ensino Superior para o desenvolvimento das competências dos futuros gestores desportivos.…”
