Predicting the servant leadership of the presidents of Iraqi Stars League football clubs from the point of view of administrative bodies

الملخص

The study aimed to build a scientific measure to predict the extent to which the presidents of the Iraqi Stars League football clubs  have the characteristics of "servant leadership", which elevates the interest of the team and the fans above personal gains, in an administrative environment that suffers from the absence of objective tools to measure the commitment of leaders to this model, and the spread of favoritism as a major obstacle to good governance, where clubs are managed with immediate reactions that exacerbate crises such as the depletion of resources in unsustainable projects, and the collapse of public confidence due to Lack of transparency, to fill this gap,  the study relied on the design of a measurement form based on the opinions of (170) administrative members representing (20) clubs deliberately selected from the league clubs, with data analysis via the statistical package (SPSS). The results indicate that the traits of servant leadership (such as vision, communication, and empowerment) are present in club presidents at an above-average  level, but they are not sufficiently rooted or applied regularly, in light of the results of the research,  the researcher reached the following conclusions: A scale was built to predict servant leadership and the researcher  recommends adopting the scale As a standard tool for selecting presidents and evaluating their performance, implement training courses in partnership with the Ministry of Youth and Sports to educate leaders about the importance of servant leadership.
