ABSTRACT:
Leader Member Exchange Theory is a contemporary leadership theory that has received considerable research attention outside the sport setting. The purpose of this study was to test basic tenets of the Leader Member Exchange Theory by examining the leader-member exchange processes that occur between coaches and starters and coaches and nonstarters. It was hypothesized that starters as "in group" members would score significantly higher on the Leader Member Exchange Scale than nonstarters or "out group" members. Subjects (N = 178) for the study were female participants from a summer basketball camp setting. The stated hypothesis was supported in that starters or "in group" members scored significantly higher on the leadership scale when compared to scores of nonstarters or "out group" members. The results of this study point to the need for additional research into the important exchanges that occur between sport leaders and followers. A clear understanding these leader member exchanges may eventually open the door to enhanced sport performance, satisfaction and retention.
