| Summary: | This study aimed to investigte the coaching behavior preferences among university athletes in Singapore. The significance of the findings were discussed with reference to the Multidimensional Model of Leadership (Chelladurai, 1980). The study engaged the opinions of 76 athletes (Female n = 36, Male n = 40) via the Leadership Scale for Sport (Chelladurai & Saleh, 1980). The findings were then analysed using descriptive statistics to obtain the mean, median, standard deviation and effect size for both genders. Although there were slight differences observed between both genders, the results displayed a high level of similarity in coaching preferences regardless of gender. Both genders ranked Training & Instruction as their most preferred behavior, followed by Positive Feedback. Autocratic Behavior was not preferred. |
