The subject of the study is the leadership qualities of basketball coaches. The purpose of this study is to determine whether there is a link between the leadership qualities of basketball coaches and the team rankings.The study included 12 women's basketball teams - 6 Italian and 6 Bulgarian. The Italian basketball clubs participate in the Unione Italiana Sport for all (UISP) Championship and the Bulgarian in the National University Championship (NUS). 172 people were examined and were divided into competitors (n = 160) and coaches (n = 12).The final ranking of the teams is the ranking in the respective championships (Lombardy in Italy and Sofia in Bulgaria). The possible successes of the teams after the regional championship phase (for example, participation in a national championship or playoffs) have not been observed.The empirical study was conducted with a specially transformed and modified version of the Multivariate Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) developed by Bass (Bass & Avolio, 1989). The questionnaire contains a total of 15 questions and five of the questions focus on three types of leadership. The rating includes a scale from 0 to 4 for each item. The questionnaire was translated into Italian and Bulgarian. The tool consists of two parts. The first component is the leader's (coach's) self-esteem with regarding his leadership style, and the second is the assessment made by the followers (players) regarding their perceptions of the leader's (coach's) behavior. The questionnaires were distributed to some teams via the Internet and to others directly at the training site for short-handed completion and returned directly to the researcher. The collection was made simultaneously in Italy and Bulgaria. Correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used to process the obtained data.The analysis of the results shows that the ranking is aggravated by the growing differences in perceptions of the leader (coach) and followers (players) of the leadership style practiced mainly by the leader. It is observed that participants who receive low values of deviation in perceptions are more efficient. Taking into account external factors, we note that 43% of team rankings are explained by differences in perceptions, age, team years, number of teams changed, and training hours per week. Age factors, team years and the number of teams changed per player have a minor effect on the ranking. The factor that showed more importance for presentation was the weekly training hours.

Abstract Background: The workforce shortage of health professionals is a current concern, with a high level of work-related stress being an important reason why health professionals leave their career prematurely. In particular, incompatibility between work and private life and a lack of leadership qualities among line managers are important factors in health professionals’ satisfaction and health at work. This study therefore aimed to identify key associated factors of work-private life conflicts and of poor managerial leadership quality among health professionals. Methods: This study is based on a cross-sectional survey in 26 Swiss acute and rehabilitation hospitals, consisting of 3398 health professionals from various disciplines. For data analysis, multilevel models (with hospitals as the second level variable) were performed for ‘work-private life conflict’ and ‘quality of leadership’, considering significant main effects (using AIC) and significant interactions (using BIC) of potential explanatory variables. Results: The main findings of this study reveal that the compatibility of health professionals’ work and private life is associated with topics of shift planning, specifically regarding their influence on shift planning (possibility of exchanging shifts, β=-2.87, p=0.000), the extent to which their individual preferences are considered (e.g. working in one specific shift only, β=6.31, p=0.000), the number of shifts per weekend (β=1.38, p=0.002) and the number of hours per week (β=0.13, p=0.000) they had to work. In addition, high quantitative demands (β=0.25, p=0.000) as well as being required to hide their emotions (β=0.16, p=0.000) and poor social community at work (β=-0.12, p=0.000) were also related to a severe work-private life conflict. Regarding managerial leadership, health professionals perceived the leadership qualities of their direct line manager as better if they received more social support (β=0.61, p=0.000) and rewards (β=0.41, p=0.000) at work. Conclusions: These study results show key components of improving the compatibility of work and private life as well as managerial leadership qualities among health professionals and can help top executives working in acute or rehabilitation hospitals to develop appropriate interventions.
