Motivational Climate in Sports Teams: Situational vs. Dispositional Determinants
Renata BARIĆ
Sažetak
The achievement theory in sports assumes that motivation is a
function of dispositional characteristics of individuals and
characteristics of sports environment. Environmental factors are
means used by individuals to create inner, relevant motivational
drives, whereas the interpersonal context of sporting activities is
an important factor which influences perception of athletes.
Their interaction determines motivational climate which is
compounded from a sequence of factors like goals of
individual athletes, evaluations and awards for their striving,
and requirements regarding interpersonal relations with the rest
of the participants in the sports context. There are two basic
paradigms of motivational climate: Mastery and Performance. It
is assumed that dispositional (goal orientation) and
environmental (coach's leadership behaviour) factors influence
motivational climate patterns. The aim of the study was to
determine correlations of athletes' goal orientation and coaches'
leadership behaviour with the aspects of perceived motivational climate in two sports and to investigate to which extent it is
possible to predict dimensions of motivational climate from the
assessments of athletes' individual goal orientation and the
assessments of coach's leadership behaviour. A sample of
young Croatian basketball and football players participated in
the study. Hierarchical regression analysis indicates that the
situational factors are more important for prediction of the
mastery-oriented motivational climate than the dispositional
factors, whereas quite the opposite is valid for prediction of the
performance-oriented motivational climate.
