摘要

The purpose of the current study was to investigate the relationship between college degree and career achievement in professional baseball players and coaches in Taiwan The entire population of the professional baseball players in Taiwan was included for the study. We documented the annul salary, years of professional experience, years of training duration, college degree, and age for all baseball players from the professional baseball leagues in Taiwan. The survey was conducted by directing coaches of the team where the name of the player was remained confidential. We found significant association between annul-salary and college degree. A significant correlation between annul-salary and years of professional experience was found as expected (r=0.45, P＜0.05), indicating a high multicolinearity between both variables; However, when both population was separated by educational status, the proportionality between annul-salary and years of professional experience only occurred in the population with college-degree, but not for the rest. Altitude toward perspective professional career was, however, was negatively related to the college degree, and annul-salary. No association was found between years of baseball training (including in school and after joining professional team) and annul salary. In conclusion, the main finding of the study was that in college graduate annul-salary is proportional to the years of professional experience, but same relationship was not significant for the rest of subjects. In addition, lack of confidence or insecurity toward future might be the main driving force for the subject pursuing college degree and thus devoting intensely in professional sports.
