Abstract
This 3-phased longitudinal study assesses the impact of the leadership academy (a structured training invention), implemented by the athletics department of a private liberal art college, on the leadership development of student-athletes. The academy employs the Team Captain’s Leadership Manual designed by Jeff Janssen (2014), which used transformational and servant leadership models to guide the development participants to be effective leaders. Data was collected from student-athletes who participated in the academy (experimental group) and those who did not participate (control group). A Multilevel Linear Model (MLM) analysis was conducted to assess and compare the leadership development trajectories of the two groups. This involved using a two level-hierarchy in which the leadership development outcomes at multiple phases (level 1 variable) were nested within student-athletes (level 2 variable) and the dummy variable for participation in leadership academy (participation = 1, non-participation = 0) was inputted as level 2 predictor. Findings indicate a significant positive relationship between the number of phases and the leadership outcome of the student-athletes. It also shows that participation in the leadership academy positively influences their transformational and servant leadership development more significantly than non-participation.
