Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

This study aimed to critically explore the gender dynamics of women head coaches’ emotional labour. We applied conceptualisations of “practicing gender” and emotional labour through a post-structural feminist lens to challenge gender-neutral assumptions, examining emotional labour as a gendered and gendering process within organisational sport contexts.In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with nine White, able-bodied, cis-gender, heterosexual women head coaches at Canadian universities. Reflexive thematic analysis was used to analyse the transcript data. The two key themes constructed include: (1) gendered display rules and (2) navigating a double-bind. Our findings demonstrate how women coaches used emotional labour to practice masculine and feminine coded display rules to meet the social, professional and emotional demands of their work as head coaches as well as challenge restrictive gendered assumptions. These findings contribute to the field by illustrating the gendered dynamics of coaching work and the implications for women coaches.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
