Abstract
Women are consistently under-represented at the higher management levels of New Zealand sport organisations (Cameron, 1996; Leberman & Palmer, 2009; New Zealand Olympic Committee, 2007), as is the case across the sectors in New Zealand (McGregor, 2010) and internationally (e.g. Eagly & Carli, 2007; McKay, Messner, & Sabo, 2000).
In order to better understand the New Zealand situation this research had two main foci – to gain a better understanding of the educational experiences of recent female sport management and physical education graduates (1998-2008); and the career pathways of recent sport management and physical education graduates (1998-2008) and female CEOs in the New Zealand sport sector.
