Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the leadership style of recreational sports club leaders in Kaohsiung, Taiwan. A survey and personal interview served as the instruments for this study. Participants completed the Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire-Form XII (LBDQ-XII) and demographic information sheet. A 1-way ANOVA was used in the data analysis. Participants were 123 Taiwanese recreational sports club leaders. The findings indicated that a high-task and high-relationship leadership style was the dominant management style. Research suggested (a) prospective leaders in recreational sports clubs should train to develop high levels on 2 dimensions of leadership; (b) the leaders who were strong on both these dimensions had the potential to be successful leaders; (c) the findings of this study are pertinent to the Taiwan government, local agencies, sports clubs, and schools that provide recreational sports training programs; and (d) more leadership training was recommended for leaders and preservice personnel who planned to become recreational sports club leaders.
