The purpose of study was to investigate the relationship among paternalistic leadership, peer leadership, and peer interaction. The participants were 359 fifth-grade or sixth-grade volleyball student athletes from ranked top 12 varsity teams of elementary schools in Taiwan. A set of inventories were administrated to assess paternalistic leadership (benevolent leadership, moral leadership, and authoritarian leadership), peer-leadership (task leadership, social leadership, external leadership, and personal athletic talent), and peer interaction (positive peer relationship, and negative peer interaction). Pearson correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were conducted. The results indicated that:
1. The benevolent and moral leadership were positively correlated with the four dimensions of peer leadership(r= .18 ~ .38, p <.05). The benevolent and moral leadership were positively correlated with positive peer relationship(r= .39, .41, p <.05). However, the authoritarian leadership was correlated with negative peer interaction (r= .22, p <.05). All the four dimensions of peer leadership were positively correlated with positive peer interaction (r= .36 ~ .47, p <.05) and social leadership was negatively related with negative peer relationship(r= -.14, p <.05).
2. After excluding the explaining variance of controlled variables, paternalistic leadership showed statistically significant explaining variance in all the four dimensions of peer leadership (ΔR2= .06 ~ .16, p < .05). The moral leadership had (demonstrated, showed, exhibit, expressed) significant utility of prediction in social leadership, external leadership, and personal athletic talent (ß = .21, 15, .22, p < .05). The benevolent leadership could only significantly predict the social leadership (ß = .23, p <.05). The authoritarian leadership was the only significant predictor (predictive variable) of the personal athletic talent (ß = .12, p <.05).
3. After excluding the explaining variance of controlled variables, paternalistic leadership showed statistically significant explaining variance in the positive peer interaction and negative peer interaction.(ΔR2 = .19, .07, p <.05). The benevolent leadership and moral leadership had significant utility of prediction in the positive peer interaction (ß = .29, .19, p <.05), however, the authoritarian leadership was the only significant predictor of the negative peer interaction (ß = .21, p < .05).
4. After eliminating the explaining variance of controlled variables, peer leadership showed statistically significant explaining variance in the positive peer interaction and negative peer interaction. (ΔR2 = .24, .05, p <.05) The social leadership was the only independent variable significantly predicting the positive peer interaction and negative peer interaction (ß = .30, -.31, p <.05).
5. Peer leadership partially mediated the explanatory power of paternalistic leadership on peer interaction.
Finally, the results were discussed based on the theoretical framework and suggestions were made for practical application and future research directions.
