“…Harter, 2002) have paid attention to the concept of authenticity because they believe it can bring other desirable outcomes such as morality and peace. For sport employees, the ability to be authentic and by extension recognize their own drawbacks and control their emotions coincides with the unique challenges of working in the sport sector (see Oja et al , 2018; Todd and Andrew, 2008; Todd and Harris, 2009; Todd and Kent, 2009). More so, given the importance of ethical decision making in sport organizations, authenticity has been viewed a critical feature for sport employees (Hums et al , 1999; Pfleegor and Seifried, 2016).…”

Moreover, the sport industry has experienced an infusion of labor supply as witnessed by the willingness of sport employees to accept lower wages and work longer hours (Hums et al , 1999; Newman, 2014; Oja et al , 2018). The resulting stress on sport employees necessitates the exploration of mechanisms to support employee well-being (Kim et al , 2019).…”
