This study examined published articles concerning sports leadership within the sport psychology domain over the last 30 years using bibliometric analysis that centered on the written content of the publications as unit of analysis in order to explore the intellectual base, particularly the structural relationships among relevant research components about coach leadership. Leximancer version 5.0 (Leximancer Pty Ltd.) was used to extract data from 100 sports leadership-related articles from four sport psychology journals. Overall, the most relevant concepts generated were coaches (100%) and athletes (59%), followed by study, sport, support, and motivation, and behaviors. Also, relevant concepts produced for each journal were quite similar which included coaches, athletes, behaviors, study, support and team. Further, publications related to coach leadership have shown a steady growth rate since 1990 with 76% of all published articles were conducted quantitative research method. Finally, United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Belgium were the top countries involved in the area of coach leadership. Coach leadership studies generally focus on behaviors and perceptions related to the coach and relationships between leadership and psychological outcomes. Each journal has a similar but distinct rationale when publishing papers about coach leadership. Bibliometric analysis can be applied as an alternative methodology to summarize large volumes of relevant data in order to map the current knowledge as well as identify potential future research directions.
本研究采用文献计量分析法，以出版物的书面内容作为分析单位，对过去30年体育心理学领域内有关体育领导力的已发表文章进行了研究，以探索知识基础，特别是关于教练领导力的相关研究组成部分之间的结构关系。使用Leximancer 5.0版本（Leximancer私人有限公司）从四种体育心理学期刊的100篇与体育领导力相关的文章中提取数据。总体而言，生成的最相关概念是教练（100%）和运动员（59%），其次是研究、运动、支持、动机和行为。此外，每种期刊产生的相关概念非常相似，包括教练、运动员、行为、研究、支持和团队。此外，自1990年以来，与教练领导力相关的出版物呈稳定增长态势，所有已发表文章中有76%采用了定量研究方法。最后，美国、加拿大、英国和比利时是教练领导力领域涉及最多的国家。教练领导力研究通常关注与教练相关的行为和认知，以及领导力与心理结果之间的关系。每种期刊在发表关于教练领导力的论文时都有相似但独特的理论依据。文献计量分析可作为一种替代方法，用于总结大量相关数据，以描绘当前的知识状况，并确定未来潜在的研究方向。
