ABSTRACT:
The relationships among problem attributes, coaches' motivational dispositions, their decisions style choices, and coaching effectiveness were the focus of the study. Fifty-one male coaches of high school boys' basketball teams responded to a questionnaire consisting of Decision Style Cases, and Least Preferred Coworker Scale. The autocratic style without getting more information was the most preferred choice (32.5 percent) and consultation with a few individuals was the least preferred choice (9.7 percent) of all decision style choices. The situation and individual differences accounted for 24.1 percent and 14.9 percent of the variance in decision style choices respectively. Coach's information and quality requirement had the most pronounced effects although all five attributes had direct effects on decision style choices. Fiedler's LPC was not correlated with the coaches' decision style choices. There was no significant difference between winning and loosing coaches in their decision style choices.
