Does Experience Matter? Salary Dispersion, Coaching, and Team Performance

Abstract: Using Major League Soccer as a unique dataset, this study examines the direct and indirect role of coaches' experience in determining team performance. Inspired by labor market studies, we applied traditional indicators of team salary structure and, unlike previous studies, empirically test the hypothesis that coach experience affects the way in which team salary distribution influences performance. Our results suggest that coaches with experience as professional soccer players improve team performance directl… Show more

“…The increasing number of studies examining managerial turnover using sports data consists mainly of two strands. While the first strand studies the determinants of coach changes (e.g., Holmes, 2011;Salaga & Juravich, 2020;Wangrow et al, 2018) and distinguishes in a small number of cases between coach dismissals and quits (e.g., Bryson et al, 2020;Van Ours & Van Tuijl, 2016), the second strand deals with the effect of coach changes on team performance (e.g., Audas et al, 2002;Bykova & Coates, 2020;Paola & Scoppa, 2012). Because this study examines the determinants of coach dismissals and quits in the context of professional football, the literature review concentrates mainly on studies in this research field.…”

“…In this study, market values are used instead of team salary costs for two reasons. First, because team salary costs “may be a weak proxy for dispersion of player abilities” (Bykova & Coates, 2020, p. 203). And second, as shown by Prockl and Frick (2018) for MLS, market values can serve as an excellent proxy for salaries that are not disclosed.…”

“…Encontramos confirmación para la Hipótesis 3 (β estandarizada = 0.43, t = 7.01, p <0,01). Fuente: elaboración propia Los hallazgos obtenidos, confirman estudios previos en los que se exploraron los mecanismos mediadores de estas variables (Bykova & Coates, 2020;Ferris et al 2001;Hall et al 2019;Bustos, 2020). Los empleados que tienen sentimientos inspiradores hacia un objetivo atractivo y experimentan una sensación de control (influencia y valor) poseen un mayor nivel de satisfacción laboral y compromiso con la organización (Gonzalez-Díaz et al 2020;González-Díaz et al 2016;González-Díaz & Perez, 2015).…”

“…1) Se confirmó que el salario es efectivo para mejorar el nivel de desempeño profesional de los trabajadores con su organización, lo que también sugiere que el rol del salario es crucial para proporcionar una pauta adecuada mediante la cual el personal administrativo se sienta más motivados a participar en su trabajo (Bustos, 2020;Bykova & Coates, 2020;Maini et al 2018).…”
