Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the "Constraints to Female
Leadership Roles in Sports in Nigeria". To achieve the purpose of this study, ex-post
facto research design was used. The instrument used for data collection was the
questionnaire using Likert rating scale. The questionnaire contained two (2) sections,
Section A contained (7) statements on personal data of the respondents, while section
B contained forty (40) statements on perceived constraints for female leadership roles
in sports in Nigeria. The questionnaire thus developed was administered on a total of
three hundred (300) respondents from the twelve (12) states randomly selected from
the six (6) geo-political zones of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. The data thus
collected were statistically analysed at Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR),
Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) and multiple
regression analysis to determine the extent of the perceived constraints for female
leadership roles in sports in Nigeria. Each hypothesis was tested at an alpha level of
0.05. The results of the study revealed the following: Age, marital status, gender and
experience served as constraints for female leadership roles in sports.
The results showed that religious, cultural and performance constraints do not
have significant influence on female leadership roles in sports. The results of the
study showed that qualification has significant influence on the perceptions of gender
as a constraint.
