Abstract : Perpustakaan Tuanku Bainun
This research seeks to investigate the attainment of transformative leadership behaviors and group cohesion values in outdoor settings and their importance in outdoor recreational programs. The main emphasis of this investigation centers on students participating in outdoor leadership projects sanctioned by the Outdoor Recreation Program in the Faculty of Sports Science and Recreation at UiTM Perlis Branch. This specific research serves as an initial examination to offer valuable perspectives for future practical use and enhance understanding of outdoor leadership. A total of 100 participants (58 male and 42 female) willingly volunteered and completed the survey. The Multifactor Leadership Questionnaire (MLQ) 5x-short and the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ) were employed to assess the factors impacting transformative leadership and the significance of group coherence within the research. The results indicated (i) A feeble but positive relationship between group integration tasks and various transformative leadership behaviors. (ii) There were no correlations between group integration social aspects and transformative leadership. (iii) A moderately robust yet adverse correlation between individual attraction to the group task and transformative leadership variables. (iv) No connections were found between individual attraction to the group social elements and transformative leadership. In summary, the capacity for transformative leadership has the potential to enhance the unity of groups involved in outdoor recreational educational initiatives. Through embracing a transformative leadership strategy, leaders can effectively encourage and motivate individuals to work together towards a shared goal, thus nurturing a feeling of solidarity and collaboration among group members. Keywords: Group Cohesion, Outdoor Recreation, Transformational Leadership, Values
