Measuring Burnout and Workaholism in College Athletics w/ Matt Huml


Listen Later

It used to be fun to work in sports. But like so many other industries, responsibilities have increased, often demanding employees to achieve more with less. The result, according to Matt Huml, can be burnout, workaholism, disengagement, and resentment. In this episode, we dive deep into Matt's two most recent research projects: "The Effect of Remote Work on Family and Work Dynamics Within the Sport Industry;" and "From engaged worker to workaholic: a mediated model of athletic department employees".
