Abstract

What characterizes senior citizens clubs is the fact that they are independently run: this raises the question of leadership within these groupings. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between two styles of leadership in club presidents and the mother tongue, the number of hours/week spent on the club's business, the size of the board and club membership. Over 160 presidents completed the “Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire”. A canonical analysis revealed that styles of leadership are related to maternal language, size of board and club membership, and hours/week spent on club's business.

Résumé

Ce qui caractérise les clubs d'âge d'or, c'est qu'ils se dirigent de façon autonome, et cette situation soulève la question du leadership au sein de ces regroupements. En conséquence, la présente étude vise à déterminer la relation entre deux styles de leadership chez les président-e-s et la langue maternelle, le nombre d'heures de bénévolat, l'importance numérique des clubs et celle de leur exécutif. Au-delà de 160 président-e-s remplirent le “Ideal Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire”. A la suite d'une analyse canonique, un facteur est retenu: les styles de leadership sont reliés à la langue maternelle, les heures de bénévolat et l'importance numérique des clubs et des exécutifs.
