USF Tampa Graduate Theses and Dissertations
This study proposes a model to test the relationships amongst supervisors' health behaviors and leadership behaviors.

The intervention consisted of goal setting with performance feedback. Participants set a short-term goal each week and a long-term goal to achieve upon completion of the study. The study incorporated the use of the NikeTM + SportKit for automated recording of the distance of each run. Results of the current study demonstrated for all …
