Supervisor support has been identified as key to the fulfillment of work-life balance for the athletic trainer (AT), yet limited literature exists on the perspectives of supervisors.
To investigate how the head AT facilitates work-life balance among staff members within the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I setting.
Qualitative study.
Web-based management system.
A total of 18 head ATs (13 men, 5 women; age = 44 ± 8 years, athletic training experience = 22 ± 7 years) volunteered for an asynchronous, Web-based interview.
Participants responded to a series of questions by journaling their thoughts and experiences. We included multiple-analyst triangulation, stakeholder checks, and peer review to establish data credibility. We analyzed the data via a general inductive approach.
Four prevailing themes emerged from the data: modeling work-life balance, encouraging disengagement from the AT role, cooperation and community workplace, and administrative support and understanding.
Head ATs at the Division I level recognized the need to promote work-life balance among their staffs. They not only were supportive of policies that promote work-life balance, including spending time away from the role of the AT and teamwork among staff members, but also modeled and practiced the strategies that they promoted.
主管支持已被确定为运动训练师（AT）实现工作与生活平衡的关键，但关于主管观点的文献有限。
调查在全国大学体育协会第一分区的环境中，首席运动训练师如何促进工作人员的工作与生活平衡。
定性研究。
基于网络的管理系统。
共有18名首席运动训练师（13名男性，5名女性；年龄 = 44 ± 8岁，运动训练经验 = 22 ± 7年）自愿参加了一次基于网络的异步访谈。
参与者通过记录他们的想法和经历来回答一系列问题。我们采用了多分析师三角验证、利益相关者检查和同行评审来建立数据可信度。我们通过一般归纳法分析数据。
数据中出现了四个主要主题：树立工作与生活平衡的榜样、鼓励从运动训练师角色中脱离、合作与社区工作场所、行政支持与理解。
第一分区的首席运动训练师认识到有必要促进其员工的工作与生活平衡。他们不仅支持促进工作与生活平衡的政策，包括抽出时间脱离运动训练师角色以及工作人员之间的团队合作，而且还树立并践行他们所倡导的策略。
