Paternalistic leadership refers to a leadership style that is deeply rooted within Chinese cultural characteristics and has attracted great attention in the field of sports. Although didactic behavior is a key concept underlying paternalistic leadership, little in-depth attention has been paid to didactic behavior in sports management, including a lack of development for specific didactic behavior constructs. The most significant didactic leadership pattern is the positive discipline behavior of ''reprimanding'' or ''scolding.'' Coaching through reprimanding is common within the field of sports and is commonly experienced by athletes. Reprimanding behavior from coaches can have positive teaching and education value. In the context of Chinese culture, a strict reprimanding response, which aims to constrain and regulate individual behavior by triggering feelings of shame, is regarded as an effective method for improving individual performance. However, many studies treat verbal reprimanding behavior as having harmful intent, such as in the context of corporal punishment or deprivation, ignoring the positive intentions associated with reprimanding behavior in a didactic leadership context, where it often serves as a well-intentioned attempt to establish leadership expectations. To fill this knowledge gap, this study aimed to explore the teaching and educational value of didactic leadership by conducting a systematic review of past literature, including classical and ancient books, and further proposing serial propositions based on dramaturgical theory. Specifically, coaches apply the principle of ''reflecting on misconduct'' when reprimanding athletes who display behaviors of misconduct and laziness and the principle of ''expressing expectations'' when athletes are deemed able to improve and break through themselves. These behaviors convey evaluative information, inducing a feeling of shame in the athletes and evoking the desire to ''follow the rules'' and ''work hard and fight bravely,'' based on the ideas of confirmation theory and self-fulfilling prophecy. A discussion of the past literature findings and suggestions for future leadership practices in sports coaching are offered. |
