This study explores the dynamic processes amongst the 3 elements of paternalistic leadership (authoritarian leadership, benevolent leadership, moral character leadership). Through a longitudinal in-depth approach, this study examines 2 top Taiwanese male tennis players and their interactions with a total of 6 coaches in their development trajectories. Data sources included interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis yields 3 important findings. First, paternalistic leadership does not remain stable. Rather, it evolves over time. Second, the dynamic interplay amongst its 3 elements results in different compositions, and such compositions are affected by the social context and players' accomplishments. Third, the dynamic interplay is jointly constructed by the players, their coaches, and the social contexts in which interaction unfolds. The implication is that players require different combinations of the 3 paternalistic leadership elements depending on their developmental trajectory. |
