高校アイスホッケー部活動における指導者のリーダーシップ行動と動機づけ雰囲気および目標志向性の関連

抄録

    This study aimed to examine the effect of coaches’ leadership behavior and the perceived motivational climate created by coaches on players’ goal orientation among Japanese high school ice hockey players.
    One hundred and eighty-five players completed a questionnaire survey in September 2010, which fell in the middle of the athletic season. Respondents were recruited from the 27 teams that participated in the national high school ice hockey tournament in January, 2010. The research items included 1) coaches’ leadership behavior, 2) motivational climate, 3) goal orientations and 4) background information (e.g., age, position and years of ice hockey experience). Path analysis was used to examine the predictor of goal orientations.
    Path analysis revealed that, through motivational climate, leadership behavior indirectly predicted goal orientations rather than directly predicted, whereas motivational climate predicted goal orientations.
    In conclusion, these results highlight that leadership behavior plays a critical role in the creation of a motivational climate which changes players’ goal orientation.
