The purpose of this research is to explain the existence of a relevancy between the outdoor activities coach’s leadership style towards the student’s level of motivation that were determined according to their age, sex, type of activities they were involved in and their duration of studies in the Faculty of Recreational Sports Education and Rakan Media Club, UKM. A group of 80 outdoors’ students of Faculty of Education and Rakan Muda Club was selected as a respondent. The Leader Behavior Description Questionnaire (LBDQ) was used as the measuring instrument to determine the two dimensional model of the coach’s leadership style by using structural adjustments and consideration and initiating structure, while a Questionaire of Individual Differences in Achieving Tendency (QMAT) was used to measure the level of motivation among the students. The result of the studies indicates a strong tendency between the coach, leadership style and the student’s level of motivation. This research concludes that students will be more motivated if the coach performs a high leadership style in two-dimensional structural adjustments and Consideration and Initiating structure. The result of the research supports the previous findings, which indicate that the leadership style of the coach predisposes the student’s motivational level. The first and second hypotheses were rejected while the third and fourth hypothesis are failing to reject. This paper suggests the further studies will consider identifying other variables that predispose to the participant motivational level.
