Abstract

This study aimed to investigate a relationship between perceived leadership behavior of leader and intrinsic motivation by goal orientation of college students majoring in dance. Based on assumption that the two achievement goal orientations without separating within an individual could be exist, a cluster analysis was administrated to identify the pattern of goal orientation. The survey questionnaires were distributed to 397 dance major students in 4 universities located in Seoul, and then the total of 386 responses collected were analyzed. The significant findings show as follows. First, if both levels of task orientation and ego orientation are high(HiT-HiE), the significance of leadership behaviors is high, and in particular the positively rewarded behavior reduce competence of the intrinsic motivation. On the other hand, if both levels of task orientation and ego orientation are low(LoT-LoE), the significance of leadership behaviors is low, which leads to demand that goal orientation itself should be enhanced. Second, if level of ego orientation is high(LoT-HiE), contrary to the negative findings suggested ego orientation(LoT-HiE) had the positive influence as well as higher correlation than task orientation (HiT-LoE). Third, authoritarian behavior among leadership behaviors had no significant effects on all four types of intrinsic motivation. Consequently, the present study demonstrated that the goal orientation of college students majoring in dance proved a critical factor on relationship between perceived leadership behavior of leader and intrinsic motivation.
