  abstract     = {{This paper examines whether player-reported workplace quality is associated with team success in the National Football League (NFL). Using panel data for all 32 NFL teams across four seasons (2022-2025), we test whether NFLPA report card rankings-player evaluations of facilities, travel, medical support, coaching, and organizational environment-are related to regular season win percentage. Fixed effects models controlling for player quality, roster composition, injuries, coaching tenure, and past performance reveal a statistically significant within-team association between better player-reported workplace conditions and higher win percentages. However, this relationship does not persist when workplace quality is lagged, suggesting that player evaluations may partly reflect current team performance rather than predict future outcomes. These findings indicate that player evaluations of workplace quality are closely aligned with team success, highlighting the role of perception and short-run performance dynamics in a high-skill labor market setting.}},
