Abstract
In today's sporting world, the impact of positive organisational behaviour (POB) is being looked at as a means for improving job satisfaction. The ability of managers to retain key employees is vital in any business. Based on this, an investigation into how managerial leadership practices can create more positive workplaces is warranted. In National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I football, this study sought to determine the relationship between a head coaches' authentic leadership and job satisfaction of their assistant coaches, the mediating effect of psychological capital (PsyCap) on said relationship, and the effects of job satisfaction on overall life satisfaction. Results indicate that the relationship between a head coach's authentic leadership and assistant coaches' job satisfaction is not significant. However, hypotheses regarding the mediating effect of PsyCap on the relationship between authentic leadership and job satisfaction, and the positive relationship of job satisfaction on life satisfaction were both supported.
