The current study investigated the impacts of autocratic and democratic leadership styles on the coach-athlete relationship, athletes' motivations, and athlete satisfaction.
Survey data were collected from 298 student-athletes (male = 157; 52.7%, female = 141; 47.3%) from 20 different Chinese collegiate sports. The Structural Equation Model was used to test the hypothesized model.
The results indicated democratic leadership had a direct positive influence on the coach-athlete relationship, while autocratic leadership had no direct effect. Both leadership styles did not influence autonomous motivation. The coach-athlete relationship, meanwhile, had a full mediation effect between democratic leadership and athletes' motivation and satisfaction. In addition, autonomous motivation had a partial mediation effect between the coach-athlete relationship and athlete satisfaction.
Ultimately, the findings of the current study underscore the need for coaches and administrators to understand the impact of different leadership styles and highlight the importance of democratic leadership in improving athletes' psychological outcomes.
本研究调查了专制型和民主型领导风格对教练与运动员关系、运动员动机和运动员满意度的影响。
收集了来自20个不同中国大学体育项目的298名学生运动员（男性 = 157；52.7%，女性 = 141；47.3%）的调查数据。使用结构方程模型对假设模型进行检验。
结果表明民主型领导对教练与运动员关系有直接的正向影响，而专制型领导没有直接影响。两种领导风格均不影响自主动机。同时，教练与运动员关系在民主型领导与运动员动机和满意度之间具有完全中介作用。此外，自主动机在教练与运动员关系和运动员满意度之间具有部分中介作用。
最终，本研究结果强调了教练和管理人员了解不同领导风格影响的必要性，并突出了民主型领导在改善运动员心理结果方面的重要性。
