Achievement goal orientations, sport motivation and competitive performance in beach volleyball players

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

Background: From the perspective of achievement goal orientation theory, athletes may evaluate their performance by comparing current achievements with previous achievements (task orientation) or with those of other athletes (ego orientation); these two orientations may affect their sport motivation and performance outcomes in different ways. Objective: Based on a sample of competitive Czech beach volleyball players, this study aimed to assess the relationships among achievement goal orientations (task/ego), sport motivation (represented by intrinsic motivation, extrinsic regulation, and amotivation), and athletes&apos; competitive performance. Methods: A total of 128 beach volleyball players (63 men and 65 women, age 26 +/- 6.27 years, range 14-42 years) from the highest Czech national competition participated in the questionnaire survey. The questionnaire battery included the Sport Motivation Scale-6 as a measure of self-determined sport motivation and the Perception of Success Questionnaire as a measure of achievement goal orientation. We used multiple linear regression models to assess the relationships among achievement goal orientations, different types of sports motivation, and athletes&apos; performance in sports competition measured by their point averages at the end of the season. Results: In regression models, we observed different effects of task and ego orientations on dependent variables, including intrinsic motivation, external regulation and athletes&apos; competitive performance. Specifically, we found a highly significant effect of task orientation in the model of intrinsic motivation (beta = .522, p &lt; .001, R-2 = .255) and a highly significant effect of ego orientation in the model of external regulation (beta = .394, p &lt; .001, R-2 = .132). Furthermore, we found a significant effect of ego orientation in the model of athletes&apos; competitive performance (beta = .239, p = .005, R-2 = .122). Conclusions: We assume that task and ego orientations contribute to different outcomes in competitive athletes, with task orientation supporting athletes&apos; interest in and enjoyment of the sport and ego orientation supporting athletes&apos; external regulation and performance in competition. Based on self-determination theory, task orientation may affect intrinsic motivation through the satisfaction of the basic needs of autonomy, relatedness and competence. At the same time, ego orientation may support less self-determined motivation but may also represent an advantage in the highly competitive environment of elite sports.
