| Abstract | This study aims to determine the motivational climate of individual and team sport collegiate student-athletes and compare them to one another. It makes use of the self-determination theory as the base theory. To validate the objective, this study makes use of quantitative research design particularly a descriptive comparative research design. Data for this study came from off-season student-athletes from a state university in the Philippines who were asked to answer a survey questionnaire with scale items adapted from the Revised Sports Motivation Scale (SMS-II). A total of 108 participants took part in this study. This study used summary statistics as the primary tool for statistical analysis. The results showed that both individual and team sport student-athletes exhibited higher levels of intrinsic motivation during the off-season. In particular, student-athletes from team sports showed higher levels of both motivational states compared to those from individual sports. Social norms present in team sports played a role wherein players in the team would internalize their roles in training and in competition to achieve the collective goal of winning. These norms are not available in players from individual sports. From the study, student-athletes should find the personal values they wish to associate with the sport. Coaches should understand the motivations of their players in participating in the sport. Future researchers may consider using mixed methods research, and longitudinal design to generalize the findings. |
