A Comparison of Preferred Leader Behaviour between Physical Education and Non-Physical Education Male Students

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate and compare the preferred leader behaviour of Physical Education and Non-physical education male students. For this purpose, two hundred and fifty (Physical education =100, Non-physical education=150) male students from different universities established in Chhattisgarh, were selected to serve as the subjects for this investigation. Physical education students were from UG and PG courses in physical education and non-physical students from various academic courses. The subjects were in age ranged from 18 to 30 years. To find out the significant differences on preferred leader behaviour between Physical education and non-physical education male students, mean, standard deviation, and t-ratio were computed. Results of study revealed the significant differences between the physical education and Non-physical education male students in training and instruction, positive feedback and democratic behaviour dimensions preferred leader behaviour. Physical education male students scored higher preferences for the set of five dimensions of leader behaviour than their counter parts. Whereas, Non-physical education male students preferred more of social support and autocratic leader behaviour from their non-professional education teachers/ sport coaches
