EFFECT OF GAMES AND SPORTS ON DEVELOPMENT OF LEADERSHIP QUALITIES IN INDIAN PLAYERS
Abstract
The objective of the study is to find out the effect of games and sports on the development of leadership qualities in Indian players. Methodology: For the purpose of the study 49 sportsmen and non-sportsmen boys were randomly selected. The age of all the subjects ranging from 18 yrs. to 22 yrs. Leadership Skills Questionnaire by Peter G. Northouse was used to assess the skills of the subjects. Descriptive statistics was used to examine the significant difference among three domains of Leadership Skills (Administrative Skills, Interpersonal Skills Conceptual Skills). One Way ANOVA was used and hypothesis was tested at a .05 level of significance. Results: The mean and standard deviation of non-playing boys are Administrative Skills (21.06 +2.77), Interpersonal Skills (21.04+3.54), Conceptual Skills (21.61+2.89), and Total Leadership Skill Assessment Scale is (63.71+6.83). The mean and standard deviation of players in different games and sports are Administrative Skills (26.26+2.24), Interpersonal Skills (26.57+2.34), Conceptual Skills (25.77+2.9), and Total Leadership Skill Assessment Scale is (78.61+4.99). The ANOVA result shows that the “p-values” of the domains of the Leadership Skill Assessment Scale (LSAS) is less than 0.05, and hence, the F-value is significant at the 5% level. Conclusion: Results clearly indicate that there is a significant difference existing between the leadership qualities and sports achievements of college boys. Students who are high on the LSA Scale have high sports achievement; hence, leadership qualities play a major role in sports achievements among male students. The development of leadership qualities among players leads to better sports performance.
