| Summary: | <p>The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between need-supportive</p><p>coaching behaviour, self-efficacy, subjective task value, goal orientation and</p><p>engagement among Chinese high school football players, and the mediating role of selfefficacy,</p><p>subjective task value, and goal orientation in the relationship between needsupportive</p><p>coaching behaviour and athlete engagement, to better understand the</p><p>determinants and mechanisms of athlete engagement. Participants were 385 Chinese</p><p>high school football players (228 boys; 157 girls; Mage = 16.07 years; SD = 1.15; range</p><p>= 14-19 years) on 20 teams from 45 high schools using a proportional stratified random</p><p>sampling method. They completed a set of previously validated questionnaires,</p><p>including the Interpersonal Behaviours Questionnaire (IBQ), Self-efficacy</p><p>Questionnaire for Soccer (SEQ-S), Subjective Task Value (STV), The Task and Ego</p><p>Orientations Questionnaire (TEOSQ) and Athlete Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ).</p><p>A multivariate mediation model was tested using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM)</p><p>in response to the research questions. Results showed that need-supportive coaching</p><p>behaviour ( = .097), self-efficacy ( = .246), subjective task value ( = .517), and task</p><p>orientation ( = .246) had positive effects on athlete engagement, while ego orientation</p><p>( = .061) had no significant effects. Additionally, the results also showed that selfefficacy</p><p>( = .082), subjective task value ( = .114), and task orientation ( = .064)</p><p>mediated the relationship of need-supportive coaching behaviour on athlete</p><p>engagement, while ego orientation ( = .009) did not contribute to the indirect effect.</p><p>As a conclusion, these findings demonstrate that need-supportive coaching behaviour,</p><p>self-efficacy, subjective task value, and task orientation are important factors in</p><p>promoting athlete engagement. The study implicates that encouraging and guiding</p><p>coaches to adopt need-supportive coaching style is an effective motivational strategy,</p><p>which can not only directly predict athlete engagement, but also indirectly affect athlete</p><p>engagement through self-efficacy, subjective task value and task orientation.</p> |
