Abstract

Sports club administrations are emerging as purposeful organizations aimed at the comprehensive and integrated development of athletes. This is achieved through the synergy of various efforts, primarily involving the administrative staff working within the club, including administrators and members. Ethical leadership can play a pivotal role in enabling clubs to achieve high-quality outcomes, given its potential and experience in influencing all aspects and resources of the sports movement through distinctive characteristics that qualify it to lead sports administrative work and improve work outcomes. This study aimed to construct, standardize, and apply a scale for ethical leadership among sports club presidents from the perspective of their members in Dhi Qar Governorate, and to identify the level of ethical leadership among sports club presidents from the perspective of members in Dhi Qar Governorate.

The researcher adopted the descriptive approach, utilizing survey methods and correlational relationships, due to its suitability for the nature of the current study. The research population included 171 members of sports club administrations, and the sample was selected intentionally, representing 100% of the population. The study concluded that the scale designed by the researcher is capable of measuring the level of ethical leadership among sports club presidents in Dhi Qar Governorate from the members' perspective. The ethical leadership scale showed that the sample's level was moderate. The researcher recommended the possibility of applying and enhancing the ethical leadership scale on other samples
