Abstract: Introduction: Generally mangers have specific psychological characteristics. Among the social and psychological factors that differentiate the psychological profile of sports managers we can include the religious affiliation. Religious spirituality has a certain contribution to the differentiation of psychological profile of sports managers, by the way of positive and negative psychological traits. These characteristics can be evaluated by using a validated personality test. Objectives: Our study tried to show the presence of some specific psychological in sports managers by theirs declared religious affiliation. Specifically we proposed to test the hypothesis of the existence of some differences concerning the psychological traits of sports managers with different religious beliefs and practices. Subjects and methods: In our study we surveyed a sample of 200 sport managers from North-Western Region of Transylvania, Romania. On this sample we applied the Swedish personality instrument- Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP) comprising 135 items and 15 scales. In the survey we distributed 310 questionnaires and only 200 were returned. Results. Orthodox and Reformed Christian managers reported a higher level of socialization, in contrast with subjects of Catholic faith. Muscular tension was also higher in catholic managers, and much more reduced in Reformed subjects. The highest level of aggressiveness was reported by Greek-catholic and Orthodox managers, and educational attainment was higher in reformed and Greek-catholic, and the last were the orthodox managers. Conclusions: The psychological profile of sports mangers shows some differences concerning the level of socialization, muscular tension, verbal aggressiveness and educational level. In the same time, to the majority of other 15 scales of Karolinska Scales of Personality (KSP) we don’t observed any statistical differences in function of religious affiliation of sport managers.
