Motivational Climate as an Antecedent to Teamwork Behaviors and the Development of Sport Enjoyment, Athlete Satisfaction with Team Performance, and Collective Efficacy

Sokoloff, Derek Michael 07 1900 (has links)
I used structural equation modeling to analyze different models representing the direct and indirect relationships between coach-created motivational climates (i.e., empowering and disempowering) and teamwork behaviors to collegiate women athletes' (N = 592) perceptions of sport enjoyment, satisfaction with team performance, and collective efficacy. The total effects model represented a better fit to the data than did the indirect effects model; empowering and disempowering climates were associated directly with teamwork behaviors (R2 = .50). As expected, teamwork behaviors were related significantly to each outcome: enjoyment, athlete satisfaction with team performance, and collective efficacy. Although only empowering was related to enjoyment, the indirect effects of both motivational climates were significant: (a) empowering climate X teamwork X sport enjoyment, (b) athlete satisfaction with team performance, (c) collective efficacy, (d) disempowering climate X teamwork X sport enjoyment, (e) athlete satisfaction with team performance, and (f) collective efficacy. The total effect of empowering climate, which included the direct and indirect effects, were significant for enjoyment, athlete satisfaction with team performance, and collective efficacy. No total effect for disempowering climate was significant. The results suggest that the types of climates coaches create, particularly ones that are empowering, may help improve their teams' performance through more and better engagement in teamwork behaviors. Sport psychologists should work with coaches to help them develop such environments and help their teams thrive.
