Abstract

The study explored the relationships between athletes’ perception of coaching behaviours and satisfaction towards coaches’ leadership. The path-goal theory (House, 1971) and a multidimensional model of leadership (Chelladurai, 1990) were used as the theoretical base. A stratified random sample of 234 males and 183 females adolescent school athletes were selected to answer a questionnaire which consists of personal data, Leadership Scale for Sports (Chelladurai & Saleh, 1980), and satisfaction scale towards leadership. The results indicate that training and instruction behaviour, and rewarding behaviour are often exhibited by coaches, and the autocratic behaviour is seldom portrayed. The results of Pearson’s Product Moment Correlation also show that the score of each dimension of the coaches' training and instruction, democratic, social support and rewarding behaviours has positive significant relation to athletes' satisfaction towards the leadership of coaches. Nevertheless, the “stepwise” multiple regression analysis reveal that training and instruction, democratic and social support behaviour of coaches show positive and significant contribution in relationship of athletes' satisfaction towards coaches' leadership. Furthermore, autocratic behaviour is also found to contribute significantly and negatively in relation to athletes' satisfaction towards coaches' leadership. Therefore, the study suggests that to increase atheletes’s satisfaction towards leadership, coaches should exhibit more training and instruction, social support and democractic behaviours, besides reducing the characteristics of autocratic behaviour.
