Abstract
Apart from knowledge and basic skills, leadership is an essential element to advancing professional recreation leaders in conducting recreational activities. Therefore, this experimental study aimed to examine the effect of recreation model for enhancing leadership of recreation leaders. Using one-group pretest-posttest design and purposive sampling, the data were collected from 50 participants. The dependent t-test, frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were applied to investigate the differences between the mean scores from the pre- and post- recreation leadership self-assessment test. The results revealed that the recreation model enhanced 1) relationship for unity and self-awareness, 2) self-discipline and emotion management, 3) team building, 4) problem solving, 5) experience and counseling, and 6) professional ethics. There was a significant difference between the mean scores from the pre- (2.99) and post- (4.77) test at the significant level of .05. Consequently, recreation leaders improved their leadership after the implementation of the recreation model.
