Abstract
Purposes: Examine the effects of paternalistic leadership behaviors to trust-in-coach, and examine the cross level moderating effects of team values between paternalistic leadership behaviors and trust-in-coach. Methods: Survey was used at the present study. The participants were the open group volleyball players (male 160, female 139, and 24 teams totally) from the university volleyball league. Paternalistic Leadership, Team Values, and Trust-in-Leader, were measured. Hierarchical linear model (HLM) was used to analysis the data. Results: The results revealed that benevolence leadership and morality leadership positively predicted trust-in-coach, but authoritarianism did not predict trust-in-coach significantly. The value of competitive desire cross level moderated between moral leadership and trust-in-coach. The magnitude between moral leadership and trust-in-coach would be increased by conditions of competitive desire; the less competitive desire the more of trust-in-coach. Conclusions: Identified the relationships between paternalistic leadership behaviors and trust-in-coach, and the moderating effects of competitive desire value.
