Abstract

The research intends to focus on the perception of players regarding the impact of leadership qualities on the sports participation among university athletes. The purpose of this research was to investigate that how different dimensions of leadership behavior can help in increasing the sports participation of university athletes. By applying the simple random sampling and using survey methodology, a total of 214 university athletes (male/female) was selected. These athletes belong to sports sciences departments of different universities of Lahore. For this study, adapted questionnaires of Leadership Scale for Sports Guidance Scale (LSS) developed by Chelladurai & Saleh (1990) and Sports Participation questionnaire ‘Ungt folk a Islandi (2010) have been used to get the opinion of the participants. Results of the study demonstrated that there is a positive relationship of training and instruction, democratic behavior and positive feedback with sports participation of university athletes. On the basis of results, it can be said that designed hypotheses of this research have been proved. However, the regression analysis shows that the relationship of sports participation with the dependent variables is significantly positive. Overall this study can be concluded that leadership qualities promote all type of positive participation in sports persons and individuals.
