Book excerpt: Abstract: The study examined the relationships among collegiate female student-athlete' s (n = 400) satisfaction with coaching leadership as determined by scores on the Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS; Chelladurai & Saleh, 1980), emotional intelligence (EQ) of female (n 40) and male (n = 40) head coaches as measured by the BarOn EQ-i (Bar-On, 1997), and efficacy as reported on a demographic questionnaire. No significant mean differences existed for athlete self-efficacy (p .21), perceived coaching efficacy (p .51), or for coach self-efficacy (p .35). A significant negative correlation (r = -.15, p .00) existed between satisfaction with Democratic Behavior and coach self-efficacy. Total EQ, Intrapersonal, Interpersonal, and Adaptability were significant (p .05) predictors of satisfaction with Democratic Behavior. A significant (r = .104, p .04) correlation existed between satisfaction with Autocratic Behavior and coach selfefficacy. A significant correlation (r = .114, p .02) was found between satisfaction with Social Support Behavior and athlete self-efficacy. Athlete self-efficacy was a significant (p .05) predictor of satisfaction with Social Support Behavior.
