APPLICATION OF MENTAL HEALTH AND EMOTIONAL EMPOWERMENT IN SPORTS MANAGEMENT DECISION-MAKING BASED ON COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE
Abstract
In team management, decision-making is a gradual constructive process closely related to cognitive neuroscience of the human brain. Based on the theory of cognitive neuroscience, this paper explores the impacts of empowering decision-makers to the decision-making of sports management, using the natural connection between decision-making and mental health. A questionnaire survey was carried out among sports managers of 12 colleges in China. Through the analysis of the survey results, it is learned that the four dimensions of mental health and emotional empowerment all have great impacts on decision quality; self-efficacy has the most significant impacts, followed by work meaning, work significance and autonomy; an empowering decision-maker can greatly improve sports management, due to the high self-efficacy and the autonomy he/she gives to team members. This research provides a valuable reference for applying cognitive neuroscience in empowered decision-making.
