| Abstract | This study explores the relationship between coach-created motivational climate and the motivation of non-starter student-athletes in a State University setting. The study employed the Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire-Coach (EDMCQ-C) and the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS) to assess the perceived motivational climate and various motivation types (intrinsic, extrinsic, amotivation) among 49 non-starter athletes using a quantitative descriptive design. The findings reveal a significant positive correlation between an autonomy-supportive coaching style and intrinsic motivation, particularly the desire to gain knowledge. Additionally, a strong positive relationship exists between task involvement and intrinsic motivation to know, while a moderate, inverse relationship is revealed between amotivation. A moderate relationship was found between social support and all two types of intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and a very strong relationship between IM-to know. However, no significant correlations were observed between external regulation and any of the five key aspects of the coach-created motivational climate. This suggests that non-starters may experience a higher degree of self-determination when they feel supported by coaches and are encouraged to focus on task-related goals, but not when they feel pressured or controlled. This research underscores the importance of coaches fostering a supportive and task-oriented motivational climate that encourages athletes to focus on mastery and improvement rather than competition or personal recognition. The study recommends further research exploring the impact of different factors, including managerial decisions, on the motivational climate and motivation of non-starters in a broader context. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the motivational needs of non-starter athletes and have implications for coaches and sports program coordinators who aim to enhance the performance of... |
