dc.description.abstractThe church continues to be the institution that young people look to for leadership skills in order to fill available leadership positions. However, youth pastors lack the necessary situational leadership capacity, which may have an impact on the development of future youth leaders. This study sought to assess situational leadership and its application by youth pastors in developing youth leaders with specific reference to the selected Christ is The Answer Ministries (CITAM) assemblies in Nairobi, Kenya. The study was anchored on Situational Leadership Theory and supported by Strategic Leadership Theory and Transformational Theory. Target population of this study was the 90 youth pastors and 184 mentees from all the eleven (11) CITAM branches in Nairobi County. The study applied exploratory research design on a sample of 163 respondents (youth pastors & mentees) from eleven CITAM assemblies in Nairobi County. A systematic questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 28 was used to obtain descriptive and inferential statistics from the data. The link between the independent factors and the dependent variable were determined using regression analysis. The study found significant relationship between coaching, directive as well as supportive behaviours and development of youth leaders within selected CITAM Assemblies in Nairobi. On youth pastors’ competence, the study has shown that there is significant relationship between youth Pastor’ competence and development of youth leaders within selected CITAM Assemblies in Nairobi. According to the study, a unit change in youth Pastor’ competence leads a decline development of youth leaders by 42.3% when P value =0.05. The study has concluded that maintaining coaching behaviour of situational leadership is the key to any development of youth leaders in the selected CITAM assemblies. The study also concludes that youth Pastor’ competence was not favourable to development of youth leaders in the study area and therefore, the sampled church branches of CITAM were not keen on interpersonal skills, communication skills, as well as democratic skills. The study recommends the sampled church branches of CITAM in the selected CITAM assemblies to place greater emphasis on coaching behaviour of situational leadership because this has the biggest impact on development of youth leaders in the church. Additionally, it is recommended that the sampled church branches in the research area evaluate the youth pastors’ competence within the church as it appears to be negatively associated with development of youth leaders in order to achieve better results in developing of youth leaders in the church.
