Book The Relationship Between a Coach s Goal Orientation and Perceived Motivational Climate

Download or read book The Relationship Between a Coach s Goal Orientation and Perceived Motivational Climate written by Russell Rodenbeck and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 6 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between a coach's goal orientation and the motivational climate perceived by the players. The relationship between players' perceptions of the motivational climate and players' intrinsic motivation was also examined. This study was intended to provide evidence of how the coach's goal orientation affects the motivational climate perceived by players, and how perceived motivational climate influences intrinsic motivation. High school coaches and their players were contacted and participated in this study. Coaches (n = 18) and players (n = 187) filled out the Task and Ego in Sport Questionnaire and the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire-2. In addition, players filled out the Intrinsic Motivation Inventory. It was hypothesized that coach goal orientation and perceived motivational climate would be related, but the correlations between coach task goal orientation and player mastery climate (r = .283, p> .05), and between coach ego goal orientation and player performance motivational climate (r = -.265, p> .05) were not significant. Player mastery motivational climate was correlated with interest (r = .419, p

This book was released on 2014 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ABSTRACT: The purpose of the study is to determine a causal relationship between the perceived coach motivational climate, goal orientation, andintrinsic motivation in youth sports. A total of 627 (male = 367; female 260) athletes between the age of 14 to 17 years from a sportcamp in Trinidad and Tobago took part in the study. Athletes completed a battery of tests that included the Motivational Climate Scalefor Youth Sport (MCSYS), Task Ego Orientation Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), and Sport Motivational Scale-II (SMS-II). The goodness-of-fit indices including X2, RMSEA, CFI, NNFI, together with parameter estimate values indicated that the data did not fit the models.Cronbach's (1951) alpha reliability estimates suggested that the items were not measuring the relevant factorial structures. Thefindings suggest the need for further investigation of the cross-cultural generalizability of the achievement motivation theory in non-westernize cultures. Also, the need to develop questionnaires that indicate cross-cultural construct equivalence.

Book An Examination of the Relationship Among TARGET Structures  Team Motivational Climate  and Achievement Goal Orientation

Download or read book An Examination of the Relationship Among TARGET Structures Team Motivational Climate and Achievement Goal Orientation written by Susan L. Becker and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current research on sport motivation has focused primarily on goal perspective approaches in an attempt to understand behavior in achievement situations (Ames, 1984; Nicholls, 1984). According to Nicholls' (1984) theory, the achievement goal orientation an individual develops may be influenced by both individual differences and situational factors. Relative to situational factors, the team motivational climate may promote either a task-involved or an ego-involved orientation dependent upon which goal orientation is emphasized by the coach. In addition, Ames (1992a) argued that environmental structures influence the motivational climate which ultimately impact the athlete's achievement orientation. Educational research (Epstein, 1988) has identified specific environmental structures (TARGET structures) as being salient to the development of a mastery climate. Little research has been conducted on athletes' perceptions of their coaches' behavior, in regard to specific environmental structures, and how this may ultimately influence athletes' achievement goal orientation. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the relationship among TARGET structures, team motivational climate, and achievement goal orientation. The subjects consisted of 186 high school softball players and 171 high school baseball players, ranging in age from 14 to 18 years. The TEOSQ, PMCSQ, and TARGET questionnaires were administered to subjects at the beginning of a sport practice. LISREL8, a structural equation modeling program, was the statistical analysis employed. Results indicated that a positive linear relationship existed, linking task and reward/evaluation components of the TARGET structures to mastery climate to task orientation. These two structures may be the most salient structures within a sport setting. This finding suggests there is a positive association between coaches' promotion and employment of task-involved goals in their practices and athletes' perception of a mastery-oriented team motivational climate. Direct relationships linking three TARGET structures to performance climate to ego orientation were also reported. Grouping and authority components of the TARGET structures were found to have a significant inverse relationship with performance climate, while task structure and performance climate were positively related. Additionally, the results confirmed that there was a significant positive relationship between mastery climate and task orientation and between performance climate and ego orientation.

Book Sport Clubs in Europe

Download or read book Sport Clubs in Europe written by Christoph Breuer and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-12-08 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ​This book presents an up-to-date portrait of the characteristics of sport clubs in various European countries and their role in society and the national sport system. Furthermore, it offers a cross-national comparative perspective of sport clubs in twenty European countries. Containing both empirical data and information on the political and historical backgrounds of sport clubs, the book is organized in three parts. First, the authors provide an overview of the theoretical approach of the book and a description of the framework used for the country chapters. Second, the country chapters, written by experts within the field, provide a systematic overview of the available information on sport clubs in each country. These chapters are structured to answer the following questions: (1) What is the position of sport clubs within the national sport structure? (2) Which role do they fulfil in policy and society? (3) What are their basic characteristics and what factors influence the development of sport clubs? The book is concluded with a systematic comparison of the participating countries with the purpose of forging a clear link between the functioning of policy systems, observed problems, and possible solutions, and with a future research agenda on sport clubs. In an era of increased collaboration between European states, sport provides a natural vehicle through which to compare changes in culture, economics, and policy across nations. Sport Clubs in Europe will appeal to scholars of nonprofit management, sports management and sports sociology as well as administrators and policy makers in the international sports community.

Book Revision of the Motivational Correlates and Athletes  Perceptions of Coach created Motivational Climate

Download or read book Revision of the Motivational Correlates and Athletes Perceptions of Coach created Motivational Climate written by Laura E. Jackson and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Motivational Climate (MC) is an important situational factor influencing participation in sport that is largely coach-created (Balaguer, Duda, & Crespo, 1999; Duda & Balaguer, 2007; Smith, Smoll, & Cumming, 2007). Two types of MC have been identified, task/mastery or ego/performance, with MC reflecting athletes' perceptions of the sport environment in which they practice and compete (Ntoumanis & Biddle, 1999). Although limited research has been conducted on how coaches can promote a particular type of competitive climate, achievement goal theory (AGT) has hypothesized how either type of MC can be created over time through task- or ego-focused goals (Ames, 1992; Nicholls, 1989). To date, research investigating how coach-created MC environment is perceived by athletes has been somewhat limited, particularly how this MC perception is affected other motivational correlates in sport (i.e., perfectionism, goal setting styles, and mindsets). The purpose of this dissertation was twofold: (a) to examine the Empowering-Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire - Coach Version that was developed for children and adolescents in the United Kingdom in order to see how well the instrument fits an American collegiate and professional sport population, and (b) in the event that the instrument does not have acceptable fit indices, investigate whether the instrument can be revised so fit is acceptable and provide preliminary construct validity for the revised instrument. The objective of Study 1 was to validate the EDMCQ-C scale using an American population of adult athletes. However, the EDMCQ-C did not provide acceptable fit indices for an adult population, prompting a revised EDMCQ to be developed for adult American athletes labeled the EDMCQ-Adult Collegiate Sample (EDMCQ-ACS) that had three subscales (i.e. task involvement, ego involvement and controlling coaching) and demonstrated strong CFA fit indices. Study 2 used cluster analysis of the three MC subscales to create four MC profile groups, and then multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) to identify differences between profile groups on motivational correlate variables (i.e., mindsets, perfectionism, and GSSs subscales). Finally, canonical correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between the three MC subscales in one variable set and separate analyses examining their relationship with: (a) mindsets, (b) perfectionism, (c) goal setting styles, and (d) all motivational correlate variables as one set. Results showed support for the emerging hypotheses whereby empowering motivational climates correlated significantly with functional psychological variables. Further support was shown whereby disempowering motivational climates correlated with dysfunctional psychological variables. Results were discussed in light of limitations and future directions.

Book Coach Created Motivational Climate and Self Efficacy in the Coach Athlete Relationship  The Role of Relational Efficacy Beliefs

Download or read book Coach Created Motivational Climate and Self Efficacy in the Coach Athlete Relationship The Role of Relational Efficacy Beliefs written by Noam Eliezer Hadadi and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The motivational climate athletes perceive is crucial for many psychological aspects such as motivation, effort and enjoyment. The motivational climate also influences self-efficacy in competitive athletes. Since the motivational climate is a perception an athlete has of the environment the way it influences sources of self-efficacy are expressed through social factors. The motivational climate influences self-efficacy through classic and social efficacy sources which are expressed through relational efficacy beliefs. These beliefs are relation inferred self-efficacy (RISE) and other-efficacy. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to examine how the coach created motivational climate predicts self-efficacy and that connection is mediated by RISE. METHODS: Participants (n = 57 athletes, 65% male, M = 32.44 ± 10.74 years; n = 18 coaches, 83% male, M = 34 ± 7.44) competing in different sports completed different online questionnaires for coaches and their athletes. Each coach had several athletes who answered in relation to their coach. ANOVA and a t-test were performed to test for differences in the measures for gender and type of sport. RESULTS: Perceived coach created mastery climate was a significant predictor of self-efficacy (B = .41, p
