Book The Relationship of Perceived Autonomy supportive Coaching Behavior with Motivation Among High School Athletes

Download or read book The Relationship of Perceived Autonomy supportive Coaching Behavior with Motivation Among High School Athletes written by Chelsea J. Burrell and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Recent literature suggests that coaches play a significant role in creating a climate that fosters self-determined motivation among athletes. Coaching style influences athlete perception, motivation, and performance. Research supports that an autonomy-supportive coaching style is an effective motivational tool for coaches, whereas a controlling coaching style is ineffective. Previous research has shown that an autonomy-supportive interpersonal style increases self-determined motivation among athletes. However, previous research typically includes only one interpersonal coaching style. In addition, there is minimal research looking at needs satisfaction mediating the relationship between coaching behavior and athlete motivation through the SDT continuum. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of autonomy-supportive and controlling coaching behaviors with high school athletes' motivation as well as needs satisfaction. High school athletes from the Western region of North Carolina (n=162) completed the Coach Behavior Scale in Sport, Controlling Coach Behavior Scale, Behavior Regulation in Sport Questionnaire, and the Basic Needs Satisfaction Sport Scale. Correlations and multiple regression analyses were used to analyze relationships among coaching behaviors, needs satisfaction, and motivation. The hypotheses were 1) autonomy-supportive coaching behavior is positively related to higher forms of self-determined motivation and needs satisfaction, 2) controlling coaching behavior is negatively related to self-determined forms of motivation and needs satisfaction, and3) needs satisfaction mediates the relationship between coaching behavior and athlete motivation. As predicted, autonomy-supportive coaching behavior was positively and significantly correlated with higher forms of self-determined motivation (intrinsic: r=.463; integrated: r=.512; and identified: r=.558), whereas controlling coaching behavior was positively and significantly correlated with more extrinsic forms of motivation (external: r=.411 and amotivation: r=.279). Autonomy-supportive coaching behavior was positively correlated with all three needs (competence: r=.479, autonomy: r=.583, and relatedness: r=.582), and in turn, the three needs positively predicted higher forms of self-determined motivation. Multiple regression results indicate that the relationships of autonomy-supportive and controlling coaching behaviors with motivation are partially mediated by perceived needs satisfaction, but the relationships differed for different forms of motivation. Evidence for mediation was strongest for intrinsic motivation, and for integrated motivation and identified motivation, autonomous coach behavior added to the prediction suggesting the relationship was not fully mediated by needs satisfaction. For external regulation, controlling coaching behavior was a strong direct predictor with no evidence of mediation. The results indicate that autonomy-supportive coaching behavior predicts need satisfaction and enhances athlete motivation whereas controlling coaching behavior reduces self-determined motivation. Therefore, coaches are advised to use strategies that promote autonomy, such as providing options, giving athletes opportunities to make decisions, and allowing athletes to feel involved."--Abstract from author supplied metadata.

Book ASSOCIATION OF COACH  PEER  AND PARENT INITIATED MOTIVATIONAL CLIMATE WITH BURNOUT AND ENGAGEMENT

Download or read book ASSOCIATION OF COACH PEER AND PARENT INITIATED MOTIVATIONAL CLIMATE WITH BURNOUT AND ENGAGEMENT written by Jordan Barbee and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport participation can be an engaging experience and result in health benefits, skill development, and social camaraderie. However, it can also result in negative outcomes such as burnout. Burnout is negatively associated with sport engagement and the quality of athlete experiences. It also contributes to the reasons why athletes discontinue sport and negatively impacts their well-being. Research has shown that burnout and engagement are potentially influenced by social agents (e.g. parents, peers, and coaches) such as through the motivational climate they create. A mastery climate is one in which success is defined in terms of selfreferenced standards of excellence with a focus on improvement, mistakes being viewed as a part of learning, and effort. Within a performance climate, success is defined in terms of social comparison and outperforming others. This can result in intra-team rivalries and conflict. Although research has shown that the motivational climate created by social agents impacts athletes sport experiences, few studies have examined whether the climate created by coaches, parents, or peers has the strongest association with burnout and engagement. Therefore, the first purpose of this study was to examine the relationship of the motivational climate created by coaches, parents, and peers with engagement and burnout. The second purpose was to determine which social agent is the strongest predictor of athlete engagement and burnout. Following student activities coordinator and coach approval, 150 high school athletes completed surveys on athlete engagement and burnout, along with surveys assessing athlete perceptions of the motivational climate created by coaches, parents, and peers. Correlational analyses were used to examine the relationship of athlete engagement and burnout with motivational climate while regression analyses were used to determine which social agent's motivational climate had the strongest association with burnout and engagement. Overall, a mastery climate created by coaches and peers had significant (p[less-than]0.05), small to moderate relationships with the devaluation and reduced sense of accomplishment dimension of burnout (i.e., r = -.22 to -.44), and engagement (i.e., r = .21 to .37). A parent mastery climate was found to be unrelated to burnout and had small, significant relationships with engagement (i.e., r = .21 to .27). The relationship between performance climates created by the social agents with burnout and engagement were smaller in magnitude compared to the mastery climates (r= -.10 to .19). When all three social agents were examined together, the motivational climates collectively explained 13.3% of the variance for overall burnout and 29.3% of the variance for overall engagement. When examining individual subscales, the most variance in burnout was reduced accomplishment (r2 = 0.26), followed by devaluation (r2= 0.13) and exhaustion (r2 = 0.06). For engagement each subscale was similar to overall engagement (r2= 0.20 to r2= 0.23). It was found that the mastery climates created by coaches and peers predicted lower burnout scores whereas the climate created by parents was not a significant predictor. Mastery climates created by all three social agents were predictive (p[less-than]0.05) of higher engagement with peers having stronger associations compared to coaches and parents. The extent to which parents and peers created a performance climate was unrelated to burnout or engagement. Contrary to predictions, a coach created performance climate was linked to higher engagement, but the relationship was small in magnitude (partial r= 0.18). Overall, when high school athletes perceived that their coaches and peers created a mastery climate, they reported higher engagement and lower burnout. A mastery climate in which success is defined by on effort, learning, and improvement should be created by coaches, parents and peers for athletes to experience high engagement and low burnout.

Book Burning Out Or Burning Desire

Download or read book Burning Out Or Burning Desire written by Christopher Sean Lonsdale and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Third, while researchers in organizational and educational psychology have examined engagement experiences, no research has investigated athlete engagement. Results of a qualitative inquiry with elite New Zealand athletes (n=15) indicated that vigour, dedication, and confidence were core athlete engagement dimensions. Fourth, items for a quantitative athlete engagement questionnaire were created using operational definitions from the qualitative study and then reviewed by athlete burnout and positive psychology experts. Analysis of data from two samples (n=382 and n=343) supported the reliability and validity of the Athlete Engagement Questionnaire. Results from the final study (n=343) investigating the relationships amongst basic needs, behavioural regulations, burnout, and engagement generally supported the main hypotheses of the thesis. Indeed, athletes with higher perceptions of autonomy and competence reported more self-determined regulations; however, relatedness was not a significant predictor. Athletes' levels of self-determined motivation accounted for substantial portions of variance in athlete burnout symptoms: emotional/physical exhaustion (R2=.13), sport devaluation (R2=.43) and reduced accomplishment (R2=.42). Behavioural regulations were also strong predictors of athlete engagement, accounting for 49% of the variance in vigour, 42% of the variance in dedication, and 30% of the variance in confidence. Implications of these results for researchers and practitioners are discussed. Directions for research concerning SDT, athlete burnout, and athlete engagement are also highlighted.

Book Passion for Work

Download or read book Passion for Work written by Robert J. Vallerand and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2019-07 with total page 585 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Passion is a pervasive concept in the work domain. Workers aspire to be passionate in the hope of finding meaning and satisfaction from their professional life, while employers dream of passionate employees who will ensure organizational performance. Does passion for work matter ? Does passion invariably bring about the anticipated positive outcomes or is there a darker side to passion for work that can also lead to negative outcomes for individuals and organizations? The goal of this book is to address these issues. This volume reviews major theories of work passion, focusing specifically on the dominant theory: the Dualistic Model of Passion. This theory distinguishes between two types of passion-harmonious and obsessive- and their associated determinants and consequences. This volume provides a comprehensive understanding of passion for work by addressing the origin of the concept and its theoretical issues: how can passion for work be developed, what are the consequences to be expected at the individual and organizational levels, and how can passion for work shed new light on contemporary issues in the workplace. Passion for Work: Theory, Research, and Applications synthesizes a vast body of existing research in the area, provides insights into new and exciting research avenues, and explores how passion for work can be cultivated in work settings in order to fulfill both workers' and employers' hopes for a productive and satisfying work life.
