| dc.description.abstract | This study set out to determine the antecedents and performance outcomes of empowering leadership among youth in sports for development organizations. The mediating variable was empowering leadership. The leader-member exchange theory (LMX) and servant leadership theories underpinned this study. The study was grounded in the positivism philosophical approach and adopted the descriptive survey research design with a population of 2,993 beneficiaries/members over 18 years of age from three sports for development organizations in Kenya. Stratified random sampling was employed to pick a sample of 352 respondents. A structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The data was analyzed using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Relationships were established using Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) in path analysis to construct the linkage between the antecedents’ and the performance outcomes. The analysis of the Moment Structures (AMOS) 23 was used to construct a conceptual model linking the variables under study. The study revealed that the influence of antecedents (active membership, perceptions of organisational justice, divergent thinking and perceptions of life satisfaction) on performance outcomes (organizational citizen behavior, self-efficacy, aspirations, self-esteem, organizational perceived performance and community psychological empowerment) of empowering leadership was positive and statistically significant. The study also revealed that the effect of empowering leadership and performance outcomes was positive and statistically significant and finally the study established that empowering leadership partially mediates the relationship between antecedents and performance outcomes and therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected in all six hypotheses. It is therefore recommended for meaningful performance outcomes. It is imperative that sports for development organizations understand the importance of anchoring their youth programs on the four identified and confirmed antecedents and that empowering leadership is critical to achieving a positive influence between antecedents and performance outcomes relationship. | |
