Pioneering transformational leadership in the Iraqi National Olympic Committee from the perspective of members of the administrative bodies of sports federations

Abstract

The research aimed to develop a scale of transformational leadership for Iraqi federations from the perspective of members of the administrative body of sports federations. The researcher adopted the descriptive approach using the survey method because it is appropriate to the nature of the problem. The research sample was selected from members of the administrative bodies of the recognized Iraqi Olympic sports federations, numbering (26) federations, with the number of members reaching (211) members. The researcher developed the scale from the perspective of members of the administrative bodies of the recognized Iraqi Olympic sports federations through the formulation of phrases. The researcher concluded that the results of the questionnaire showed that transformational leadership in the Iraqi National Olympic Committee contributes significantly to motivating members to achieve sporting goals that exceed usual expectations. Accordingly, it was recommended to expand training programs and workshops for leaders in the Iraqi National Olympic Committee. These programs should include intensive training in applying transformational leadership methods and motivating members to innovate and create.
