Abstract:
This study examines knowledge sharing that comes as a result of the stability of relationships among
people in organizations. Specifically, this study examines relationships among the overlapping tenure of
coaches with their players, player task behaviors, and performance of both offensive and defensive units
of NCAA football teams. The results show significant relationships between overlapping tenure and unit
performance and between overlapping tenure and behaviors. Additionally, player task behaviors had a
positive influence on unit performance. Finally, player behaviors mediated the relationship between
overlapping tenure and performance.
