ABSTRACT

This study aims to explore the perceptions and attitudes of male leaders in Chinese sports organizations regarding gender diversity. The research will involve male teachers, instructors, and organizational leaders at Beijing Capital Institute of Physical Education. A questionnaire will be used to assess the demographic profile of the respondents, the leadership role of women martial artists, and the contributions of women in the martial arts community. The study targeted around 150 respondents. The results show a significant correlation between male leaders' attitudes towards martial arts education and their perception of the contributions of female leaders in the industry. This suggests that male leaders can play a crucial role in creating an equitable and representative leadership landscape in the sports industry. Their positive attitudes towards gender diversity can foster an environment where all individuals, regardless of gender, have equal opportunities to succeed and contribute to the growth and success of the sports industry.
