Relationship between Transformational Leadership and Motivational Regulations in Exercise

Öz

The purpose of this the study was to examine the relationships between motivation levels and perceived transformational leadership of regular exercisers. Sample was consisted of 276 (131 male, 145 female) participants (Mage= 27.34 +- 10.07 years). Behavioral Regulations in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2) was used for determining motivation levels of participants while Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) was used for evaluating perceived transformational leadership of the participants. According to Spearman-Brown Correlation Analysis; transformational leadership was significantly and positively correlated with intrinsic regulation (intrinsic motivation), and introjected regulation. On the other hand, transformational leadership was negatively and significantly correlated with external regulation (extrinsic motivation) and amotivation (p<.05). In conclusion, in exercise field the more exercise leaders’ transformational leadership behavior rise, the more participants’ intrinsic regulation and introjected regulation levels rise, yet external regulation and amotivation levels fall.

Egzersizde Motivasyonel Düzenlemeler ve Dönüşümcü Liderlik İlişkisi

Öz

Egzersiz katılımcılarının motivasyon düzenlemeleri ve egzersiz liderine yönelik dönüşümcü liderlik algıları arasındaki ilişkileri incelemek amacıyla yapılan bu çalışmada, araştırma grubu düzenli olarak egzersize katılan 131 erkek, 145 kadın, toplam 276 ( yaş= 27.34 +- 10.07 yıl) bireyden oluşmaktadır. Katılımcıların motivasyon düzeylerini belirlemek için “Egzersizde Davranışsal Düzenlemeler Ölçeği-2” (EDDÖ-2) ve dönüşümcü liderlik algılamalarını değerlendirmek için ise “Çok Faktörlü Liderlik Ölçeği” kullanılmıştır. Spearman Brown korelasyon analizine göre dönüşümcü liderlik ile içsel düzenleme (içsel motivasyon) ve içe atımla düzenleme arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişkinin; dönüşümcü liderlik ile egzersizde dışsal düzenleme (dışsal motivasyon) ve güdülenmeme düzeyleri arasında ise negatif ve anlamlı bir ilişkinin olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (p<.05). Sonuç olarak, egzersiz alanında egzersiz liderinin gösterdiği dönüşümcü liderlik davranışı arttıkça katılımcıların içsel düzenleme ve içe atımla düzenleme düzeyleri artmakta, ancak dışsal düzenleme ve güdülenmeme düzeyleri ise azalmaktadır.
