Background: Mountain tourism implies specific aspects in contrast to other components of physical education and sport, by the vast scope and accessibility regardless of physical condition, age and skills or similarities with everyday life activities. We hypothesized that the joint activities, cooperation, interaction and direct communication with the natural and social environment will result in a better understanding of oneself and partners, placing the group structure on real bases, prompting avoidance of possible malfunctions in the subsequent group activity. Material/Methods: Subjects of this sociological research were 48 first-year students, participating in “Mountain tourism and sport orientation” (26 males and 22 females), which applied a sociological survey. To achieve the research’e objectives, we used the following methods: a questionnaire, a statistical and mathematical method and a graphical method. Results: In the most part, previous relationships of acceptance, empathy, trust, rejection or isolation were of the interpersonal type, motivation being that they had not previously - as a group or individually - experienced collaboration, mutual assistance, addiction group and so on. Experiences conducted in a common framework, adapted to everyday comfort, provide false opportunities for the knowledge of the self and one another. The ranking of desired partners would change significantly: the originally agreed out of ”top 10” instead came to be approved by other subjects (46, 48); a symmetrical aspect applies to unwanted partners, and, in fact, produced a reversal of the scale of values. An important aspect is the knowledge and recognition targeting sociometric’s leadership, sense that we can say that the initial place 1, 2, 3 have become 7, 3 and 4 and the final places 1, 2, 3 won the original positions 9, 24 and 2. Conclusions: Knowing the stage achieved in the formation of the group cohesion (through calculation of the cohesion index), before an important step for the group and some period thereafter, will show the effectiveness of the actions taken. Calculation of the index at different stages will reveal in which direction the group evolves: increasing cohesion, stagnant or in decline. The two investigative tools can be a strong support for knowing the socio-emotional bases of a group which usually escapes in direct observation, and especially provides the possibility of an action, an intervention in the group that takes into account the internal organization to enhance its functioning to improve group cohesion, and the establishment of a homogeneous team (an important aspect in sport or other activities with high complexity).

INTRODUCTION: A recent survey by the Association of Schools of Public Health in the European Region asserts that European public health programmes lack modernity and do not provide adequate leadership education. Aim of the study - to assess leadership competences in a group of Public Health students at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Medical University of Warsaw in Poland. MATERIAL AND METHODS: A total of 178 students: 84 third-year first-cycle students and 94 second-year secondcycle students of Public Health at the Faculty of Health Sciences of the Medical University of Warsaw, Poland. An 80% survey return rate; 153 women. Mean age 23.29 years (min. 22, max. 37, SD: 3.060).The PAPI method; voluntary participation; standardized anonymous Authentic Leadership Self-Assessment (SAP) questionnaire; 16 items on a Likert scale of 1 (completely disagree) to 5; four dimensions: 1. Self-awareness, 2. Ethics/morality, 3. Openness to feedback and 4. Transparency in relationships; high score: 16-20 points, low score: 15 points or less; Cronbach's alpha coefficient: 0.710; descriptive statistics. RESULTS: In the study group, 54% of students demonstrated a high level of leadership competences (16-20 points) in the dimension of Self-awareness (S). Most students obtained a low score (15 points or less) in the dimensions of: Ethics/morality - 55%, Openness to feedback - 58% and Transparency in relationships - 75%, which means a low level of the competences in question. CONCLUSIONS: The level of leadership skills in the study group was low, which is why, since the academic year 2017/2018, the first- and second- cycle study programmes have included courses on psychosocial skills.This may, in the future, promote the development and refinement of leadership skills, in line with the expectations of most employers. Due to the fact that the presented research is of a pilot nature, it will be continued in the following years in order to assess the impact of changes in the curricula on the improvement of students' leadership skills.

WSTĘP: Niedawne badanie przeprowadzone przez Stowarzyszenie Szkół Zdrowia Publicznego w Regionie Europejskim potwierdza, że europejskim programom zdrowia publicznego brakuje nowoczesności i nie zapewniają odpowiedniej edukacji przywódczej. Cel pracy - ocena kompetencji przywódczych w grupie studentów Zdrowia Publicznego Wydziału Nauk o Zdrowiu Warszawskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego w Polsce. MATERIAŁ I METODY: Łącznie 178 studentów: 84 studentów III roku studiów I stopnia i 94 studentów II roku kierunku Zdrowie Publiczne na Wydziale Nauk o Zdrowiu Warszawskiego Uniwersytetu Medycznego. 80% zwrotów z ankiety; 153 kobiety. Średnia wieku 23,29 lat (min. 22, maks. 37, SD: 3.060). Metoda PAPI; dobrowolny udział; ustandaryzowany anonimowy kwestionariusz Autentycznej Samooceny Przywództwa (SAP); 16 pozycji w skali Likerta od 1 (całkowicie się nie zgadzam) do 5; cztery wymiary: 1. Samoświadomość, 2. Etyka/moralność, 3. Otwartość na informacje zwrotne oraz 4. Przejrzystość w relacjach; wysoki wynik: 16-20 punktów, niski wynik: 15 punktów lub mniej; współczynnik alfa Cronbacha: 0,710; opisowe statystyki. WYNIKI: W badanej grupie 54% studentów wykazywało wysoki poziom kompetencji przywódczych (16-20 pkt) w wymiarze Samoświadomość (S). Większość uczniów uzyskała niski wynik (15 punktów lub mniej) w wymiarach: Etyka/moralność – 55%, Otwartość na informację zwrotną – 58% oraz Przejrzystość w relacjach – 75%, co oznacza niski poziom omawianych kompetencji. WNIOSKI: Poziom umiejętności przywódczych w badanej grupie był niski, dlatego od roku akademickiego 2017/2018 na studiach I i II stopnia prowadzone są zajęcia z zakresu umiejętności psychospołecznych. Rozwój i doskonalenie umiejętności przywódczych, zgodnie z oczekiwaniami większości pracodawców. Ze względu na to, że prezentowane badanie ma charakter pilotażowy, będzie ono kontynuowane w kolejnych latach w celu oceny wpływu zmian w programach nauczania na doskonalenie umiejętności przywódczych uczniów.

Background: What does it mean to be motivated? This is a question often formulated by psychologists and other researchers of human behavior. However it is a question which interests more or less managers and coaches, but the produced effects can be determinative for the activity of sports performance at all levels. Material/Methods: The present work aims to analyze the measurements in which the actions connected to athletes’ motivation , undertaken by sports organizations, influence and support their activities in order to increase performance. For this purpose we used the literature survey, a questionnaire, data analysis and data processing. This research was conducted on a total of 177 registered athletes from various sports clubs. Stability issues were tracked in the sports club, the conditions in which they operate, the level of motivation in training and competitions, team status, the level of aspiration, the level of appreciation and rewards, etc. Results: It is remarkable that the athlete’s option for the possibility to achieve high performance constitutes a more important motivator than the opportunity to have greater earning money though financial conditions. Conclusions: The motivation in training shows fluctuations due to factors of sports nature but also material stability, especially influencing athletes’ mental comfort. The levels of assessment, communication and reward are important motivational factors with direct effects on the results obtained by athletes both in competition and in training.

Purpose. The main purpose of this study was the development of a Polish version of the scale developed by P. Chelladurai and S. Saleh for examining coaching behavior (the Leadership Scale for Sports; LSS). Methods. The Polish version was constructed in two stages. In the first stage, the psychometric equivalence of the Polish translation was estimated by providing a Polish/English version of the questionnaire to a bilingual sample. Following verification of the psychometric properties of the experimental version and the adding of additional items to the scale, a second stage of analysis was performed using additional samples to assess the reliability and validity of the new scale. In total, 560 university physical education students, 180 athletes, and 75 coaches were recruited to participate in the study. The final version was deemed a reliable and valid reproduction of the LSS, consisting of 40 items representing five dimensions measuring coaching behavior. Results. Measures of reliability (internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha and test-retest reliability) as well as validity (exploratory factory analysis with principal component analysis) of the final version of the Polish adaptation of the Leadership Scale for Sports were found to be satisfactory. It was determined that the Polish adaptation of the LSS is characterized by good psychometric properties and can be widely used in the sports environment. Conclusions. The Polish adaptation of the LSS reflects the five-factor structure of the original scale, closely reproducing the dimensions of training and instruction, democratic behavior, autocratic behavior, social support, and positive feedback. It can be used both for the measurement athletes’ preferences for coaching behavior and for assessing coaching behavior as observed by athletes.
