Description |
Leadership is considered as one of the fundamental and underlying procedures in management so that many experts believe that if there be only one factor that makes a distinction between successful and unsuccessful organizations. The aim of this study was the relationship between different sports teams in Sepahan sports club in Esfahan. This is descriptive survey in which 171 participants were randomly chosen among 10 sports teams. The Multifaceted Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) and the Organizational Culture Assessment Questionnaire (OCAQ) along with a personal Information Questionnaire wes distributed among the participants. The statistical methods used in this research were the means, ANOVA, and T-test. According to the existing meaningful difference between these kinds of leadership behaviors, it seems that the style of leadership which is taken by managers and sports coaches should be revised drastically ((p=0.05, t=2.58, F=50.183). These results show the players' needs to act them like a man not like a football member. Sports teams showed a tendency toward the aim and have common values to succeed in competitions. Thus, total understanding of team culture, is more than average. Since having a strong culture depends on transformational leaders, it is recommended that factors like charismatic leaders, intellectual motivations, and personal considerations be considered before choosing a leader for professional teams.
