Introduction: Student disengagement and limited work readiness is a growing issue in the secondary school systems. Developmental context Structured school sports programs have been proposed as possible strengthening developmental contexts of academic motivation as well as Labour literacy.
Objective: This study investigated the effects of structured school sports programs on differences in learning motivation and work literacy among secondary school students.
Methodology: The quantitative explanatory cross-sectional study was used. The sample population included 412 students whose age was between 14 to 17 years. The above-mentioned tests were conducted, multiple linear regression and independent samples t-tests to compare the groups and to estimate the relationships and the repressiveness concerning the gender and socioeconomic status.
Discussion: The findings revealed that even more autonomy motivation and transferable work skills were associated with an organized sports practice.
Conclusions: Organized sport in schools has a positive effect on academic activity and labour literacy development in adolescents.
