“…These included a measure of how successful the team was during the season (as indicated by the number of games won in the regular season) and a binary variable indicating whether the team started the season with a new head coach (nine teams did). We included this as previous research has shown that coaching changes can affect team performance [ 60 , 61 ]. Lastly, and has been recommended [ 62 ], we included the cluster (i.e., level-2) means of our individual-level (level-1) predictors (i.e., immigrant status, number of ball possessions, time with ball possession, age, salary, minutes played, and skin color) to account for these variables at the team level.…”

In numerous countries, both international migration and regional support for far-right political parties are on the rise. This is important considering that a frequent aim of far-right political parties is to aggressively limit the inflow of immigrants. Understanding how regional far-right political support affects the immigrants working in these regions is therefore vital for executives and organizations as a whole. Integrating political science research at the macro-level with stereotype threat theory at the individual level, we argue that regional far-right political support makes negative immigrant stereotypes salient, increasing the number of work-related performance errors conducted by immigrants while reducing those by natives. Using objective field data from a professional sports context, we demonstrate how subordinates’ immigrant status interacts with the political context in which they reside to predict their frequency of performance errors.

“…However, being talented and investing energy in improvement is a crucial combination for long-term development. This applies to the coach as well, although the coach's knowledge of the game can be acquired through an athletic career before coaching, and such a background increases their chance of being accepted as an authentic person leading the team (Pitts & Evans, 2020). The leadership function of the coach is strengthened by naming them the formal leader of the team, although team captains also help teams function, along with the informal, situational leadership functions that arise when leadership is necessary to achieve a goal.…”

Scientific research focusing on ice hockey is growing, although a complex model describing team performance is yet to be added to the knowledge base. The purpose of the study is to finalize the authors’ proposed model of ice hockey team performance and gain insights on how the included factors contribute to the operation of the team and the coach. Based on the processed literature, it was assumed that the psychological aspect is among the key factors contributing to team performance. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with highly qualified experts on Hungarian ice hockey (five national team coaches and five senior national team players). The results indicate that the psychological factors of the coach and the team are essential for high team performance, along with the influence ability of both sides, creating two-way communication and feedback loops. The practical knowledge of the coach was emphasized over theoretical knowledge, and the team’s tactical knowledge was emphasized over technical knowledge. It also emerged that the coach must know the team well in order to make appropriate decisions. The role of the coach is no longer to act as a stressor, but rather to set a good example as a role model while remaining open to feedback from the team’s side. It was concluded that although many psychological methods are available to improve performance, the use of these methods has not yet been sufficiently exploited. While the use of these methods could improve performance, the team could experience more success and make sporting activity a fundamental part of players’ health through bonding and belonging.

Strategic employment of immigrant and native workers: Was the green card lottery a game changer?

This paper examines how employers strategically use immigrant and native workers, within the empirical setting of the U.S. Diversity Immigrant Visa (DIV) program and the National Football League (NFL). Strategic organizations determine their own optimal immigrant‐native mix and consider similar actions and reactions by rival employers, a noncooperative game. DIVs exogenously increased the labor market presence of immigrants. I exploit this fact to examine how NFL clubs subsequently altered their employment of immigrant players. Panel‐based empirical analysis illustrates the hypothesized prevalence of matching in immigrant use among rival clubs, sensitivity of that equilibrium to immigration era, and heterogeneous occupational and organizational consequences.
