A STUDY OF LEADERSHIP BEHAVIOR OF VOLUNTEER ADMINISTRATORS IN AMATEUR SPORTS ORGANIZATIONS IN THE PROVINCE OF NEW BRUNSWICK, CANADA

This study analyzed the leadership behavior of the Presidents of amateur sports organizations, as perceived by themselves and by members of Executive Committees. / The subjects were 33 Presidents and 85 members of the Executive Committees who were asked to complete a Leadership Questionnaire and a demographic data sheet. Presidents completed the Ideal Leadership Behavior Questionnaire (ILBQ), and the Executive Committee members responded to the Leadership Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ - Form XII). / Data gave the information to draw a profile of a typical volunteer administrator in the said Province. The Pearson Product Moment Coefficient of Correlation was used to examine the relationship of Structure and Consideration. The correlations were all significant at the .05 level. Three independent variables were utilized to test the hypotheses by the Analysis of Variance using .05 as a level of significance. / Based on the results, the following conclusions were reached: (1) Volunteer leaders of sports organizations hold similar views on leadership behavior regardless of their administrative position, their sexes or language. (2) Presidents' leadership behavior was higher in larger sized organizations. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 43-09, Section: A, page: 2931. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1982.
