This study meta-analyzed the relationships between coach transformational leadership and player satisfaction and commitment. We also examined the potential moderating effect of player gender on these relationships. In total, 182 effect sizes were obtained from 26 studies comprised of 6,715 participants. The analyses revealed that the overall direct effect of transformational leadership was moderate on both athletic satisfaction and exercise commitment. The effect of charismatic construct of transformational leadership was moderate on athletic satisfaction as well as exercise commitment. Finally, player gender was found to moderate the effects of the relationship between transformational leadership and athletic satisfaction and exercise commitment of players. Specifically, female players' satisfaction and commitment were more positively affected by transformational leadership compared with their male counterparts. Our findings suggests that effective leadership in sports is dependent on the interaction among leadership behaviors of the coach, personal characteristics of the players, and situational factors and highlights the importance of transformational leadership as an important requirement for creating a more positive and sustainable sports environment.
本研究对教练变革型领导与运动员满意度和投入度之间的关系进行了元分析。我们还考察了运动员性别对这些关系的潜在调节作用。总共从26项研究中获得了182个效应量，这些研究共有6715名参与者。分析表明，变革型领导对运动满意度和锻炼投入度的总体直接效应适中。变革型领导的魅力型构念对运动满意度和锻炼投入度的影响也适中。最后，发现运动员性别调节了变革型领导与运动员运动满意度和锻炼投入度之间关系的影响。具体而言，与男性运动员相比，女性运动员的满意度和投入度受变革型领导的积极影响更大。我们的研究结果表明，体育领域的有效领导取决于教练的领导行为、运动员的个人特征和情境因素之间的相互作用，并突出了变革型领导作为创造更积极和可持续体育环境的重要要求的重要性。
