本研究旨在探討教練－選手關係，在家長式領導行為與團隊凝聚力間的中介角色。以國內高中甲級與大專公開第一級籃球聯賽，進入前八強之女子籃球選手為研究對象，計有185位選手（平均年齡=18.8 ± 1.9歲）。經參與者同意後，完成包括家長式領導行為量表、教練－選手關係量表與團隊凝聚力量表的資料收集。研究結果發現：家長式領導行為的才德領導，透過教練－選手關係對於工作凝聚力產生部分中介效果；威權領導對工作凝聚力的影響，教練－選手關係扮演完全中介的角色。其次，才德領導和威權領導對社會凝聚力，教練－選手關係產生完全中介效果。根據結果，本研究結論為教練本身的行為不僅對團隊凝聚力有直接的影響，同時也會經由教練－選手關係，產生間接的效果。據此，教練除了透過特定領導行為的修正外，同時亦應與選手建立良好的關係品質，以利提升團隊的凝聚力。未來研究建議，納入不同類型的關係取向（同儕關係），進一步探討在運動情境中，教練－選手關係對相關結果變項的影響。

The purpose of this study was to investigate the mediating role of coach-athlete relationship on the association between paternalistic leadership and team cohesion. This study recruited 185 female basketball players (aged 18.8 ± 1.9 years) from the top eight teams from division-1 high school or university league. After research consent was obtained from all participants, a battery of questionnaires, which including Paternalistic Leadership Scale, Coach- Athlete Relationship Scale (CART-Q) and Group Environment Scale were conducted. Results from structural equation modeling revealed that partial mediation effects of coach-athlete relationships were witnessed between moral leadership and task cohesion. In addition, full mediation effects were emerged between authoritarianism leadership and task cohesion. Similarly, full mediation patterns also witnessed on moral and authoritarianism leadership on social cohesion. Based on study results we suggest important applications of the study, including how coach can promote team cohesion through both modified one's leadership style (CART-Q) and create specific coach-athlete relationship. Furthermore, future directions such as integrated different types of relational orientation (for example, peer relationships) into the coach-athlete relationship and related outcome variables under the context of sports were also discussed.
