The purpose of the study was to examine athlete leader fairness in relation to athlete leadership
behaviors, cohesion, and athlete satisfaction. Participants were 203 intercollegiate team sport
athletes. Participants completed the Leadership Scale for Sports (Chelladurai & Saleh, 1980),
Differentiated Transformational Leadership Inventory (Callow, Smith, Hardy, Arthur, & Hardy,
2009), Group Environment Questionnaire (Carron, Widmeyer, & Brawley, 1985), Athlete
Satisfaction Questionnaire (Riemer & Chelladurai, 1998), and a leader fairness inventory
were positively associated with perceptions of athlete leader procedural and distributive fairness.
In turn, these perceptions of fairness were positively associated with task cohesion and
satisfaction with performance and the team. Findings from the present study provide support for
athlete leaders as a source of leader fairness perceptions in team sport. Additionally, perceptions
of athlete leader fairness are identified as an antecedent of cohesion and athlete satisfaction.
