Jeff MacCharles is an Assistant Professor in Management at the University of North Texas. He obtained his PhD in Management (Sport Management Concentration) from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst where he focused on studying Organizational Behavior and Human Resources concepts in the sport workplace.

His work has been published in the Journal of Sport Management, Sport Management Review, Sport, Business and Management: An International Journal and the Sport Management Education Journal, and he has presented his research as the North American Society for Sport Management and Academy of Management conferences. He and his co-authors were awarded the Best Paper Award for 2021 in the Sport Management Education Journal for their manuscript, "Getting a job in the sport industry: The institutionalization of privilege through hegemony."
