摘要：A thorough review showed that athletes did not perceive an appropriate coach leadership style. Thus, this study will investigate preferred coach leadership styles among UiTM KARISMA (Karnival Sukan Mahasiswa) Handball Athletes. The research is important because it gives potential to help coaches and athletes to develop more attitude behaviour towards sports competitive performance. These cross-sectional research studies recruit 163 respondents (91 males, 72 females). This research has been utilized using stratified random sampling. Respondents were stratified among UiTM KARISMA handball athlete’s participation between 18 to 21 years old. The Independent T-test was used to identify the differences between gender preferences in coach leadership styles. Pearson correlations are used to identify the relationship between coach leadership preferences among handball athletes and their representative level. Statistical Packages for the Social Sciences (SPSS) Version 2.0 are used to analyze the data. The Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS) questionnaire was used to assess athlete’s preferences in coach leadership styles. The result of this study showed that the most preferred coach leadership styles by UiTM KARISMA handball athletes are positive feedback followed by training and instruction, democratic behaviours, social support, and lastly autocratic behaviour. In terms of the preferred coach leadership among gender, there are significant differences in social support. The result of the Pearson correlation to determine the relationship between the coach’s preferences and the athlete’s representative level has a significant relationship recorded. Overall, the result of this study showed that coaches should practice more positive feedback rather than autocratic behaviours. For further researches proposed shown that this research could possibly be focused on different types of coaching in certain sports games.
