“…This finding supports numerous sport officiating researchers who specifically highlighted "mentoring" in their work (e.g., Kim & Hong, 2016;Nordstrom et al, 2016;Schaeperkoetter, 2016;Tingle et al, 2014). Less variance was explained by Remuneration (8.32%), Sense of Community (6.17%), Lack of Stress (4.81%), and Continuing Education (4.18%).…”

“…These motives included: staying involved with the sport, giving back to the sport, and liking both the challenge of officiating and the competitive nature of sports. Furthermore, the importance of referees' motives has been clearly supported and highlighted by recent officiating research (e.g., Nordstrom et al, 2016;Phillips & Fairley, 2014;Schaeperkoetter, 2016).…”

“…Indeed, important progress has been made through recent research (Forbes & Livingston, 2013: Kim & Hong, 2016Nordstrom et al, 2016;Ridinger, 2015, Schaeperkoetter, 2016Tingle et al, 2014;Warner et al, 2013), but these contributions and advancements fall short if they cannot be utilized by sport managers. This current work provides the practical application of the current body of knowledge regarding refereeing.…”

“…The aim of the current study was to develop a tool to measure factors associated with the retention strategies suggested by the contemporary refereeing research (Cuskelly & Hoye, 2013;Kim, 2016;Kim & Hong, 2016;Phillips & Fairley, 2014;Ridinger, 2015;Schaeperkoetter, 2016;Tingle et al, 2014;Warner et al, 2013). Therefore, the purpose of this study was to develop a psychometrically sound scale to measure factors salient to referee retention.…”

Such research includes patterns of initial entry into officiating (Furst, 1989(Furst, , 1991Purdy & Snyder, 1985); understanding stress, burnout, and coping responses of officials (Anshel, Kang, & Jubenville, 2013;Kellett & Shilbury, 2007;Rainey, 1995Rainey & Hardy, 1999;Taylor, Daniel, Leith, & Burke, 1990); referee selfReferee Retention Scale 4 efficacy (Myers, Feltz, Guillen, & Dithurbide, 2012); involvement with officiating (Ridinger, 2015); referee's sense of community (Kellett & Warner, 2011); organizational support (Cuskelly & Hoye, 2013;Kim, 2016); gender equity (Kim & Hong, 2016;Nordstrom, Warner, & Barnes, 2016;Schaeperkoetter, 2016;Tingle, Warner & Sartore-Baldwin, 2014); and attrition of sports officials (Forbes & Livingston, 2013;Warner, Tingle, & Kellett, 2013).…”

Building on the current sport officiating research, this study puts forth the Referee Retention Scale. Through a three-phase process, the researchers developed a valid and reliable scale to predict sport officials’ job satisfaction and intention to continue. The first phase consisted of instrument development, whereas the second phase included field testing of referees (n = 253). After exploratory factor analysis and Rasch analysis, the resultant refined scale from Phases 1 and 2 was then administered to 979 referees in Phase 3. Phase 3 results using confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the seven-factor, 28-item Referee Retention Scale was a valid and reliable tool for measuring and predicting referee retention. The results highlight the importance of considering a variety of factors associated with the referee experience, which include administrator consideration, intrinsic motives, mentoring, remuneration, sense of community, lack of stress, and continuing education. A discussion on how the Referee Retention Scale can help administrators manage and retain sport officials is included.
