ABSTRACT:
There is little recent information concerning the motivational sytles of National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), Division I and II, male and female coaches. This project was initiated to describe and distinguish motivational factors of this group of coaches and to create a measure that identifies such styles. The scale developed draws upon Self-Determination Theory (Deci & Ryan, 1985) differentiating between intrinsic and extrinsic coaching motives. Participants in this study were 139 Division I and II, male and female head coaches of eight different sports. Reliability and validity estimates for the scale developed are provided. Coaching motives fell into five distinct categories: intrinsic, extrinsic, social motives, growth and education, and professional relations. Using the intrinsic and extrinsic motives four motivational coaching styles were created. These four coaching motivation styles were then related to autonomous, control and impersonal decision making styles of coaches and used to distinguish between personality characteristics of the coaches. Results indicated that coaching style is related to decision making style, as well as certain personality characteristics.
