1 The Relaionship beween Moivaional Climae wih Self-Deerminaion of Iran s Elie Volleyball Players Absrac Younis Mohammadzade Member, (Ph.D) Islamic Azad Universiy, Arsanjan ranch, Iran Shirin Zardoshian Member, (Ph.D) Razi Universiy, Iran Rasool Norouzi Seyed Hossini Suden, (M.A.) Tarbia Modares Universiy, Iran The aim of his sudy o deermine he relaionship beween moivaional climae and selfdeerminaion of elie volleyball players in Iran. This is descripive correlaion and he field sudy.saisical populaion are all players in men's volleyball league in Iran. According o he Morgan sampling able, 150 samples were invesigaed. To collec informaion, we applied moivaional climae Quesionnaire (PMCSQ) and spor moivaion scale (SMS). The daa analysis mehods were descripive saisics and mulivariae regression was used o invesigae he relaionship beween variables. Resuls showed ha he moivaional climae is significanly associaed wih self-deerminaion (p<0.05). In general, moivaional climae is he main facor and predicor of elie volleyball player` Self-deerminaion. Keywords: Moivaional climae, volleyball players, Iran Inroducion One of he indicaors in he field of menal exercise is moivaion.. More recen sudies ha have relied on he heories of modern spors moivaion believe ha several facors are effecive in creaing a moivaional climae (aric, 2007, Smih e al, 2009). According o Ames (1992), he ahlee's undersanding of moivaional echniques, srucures and expecaions of he posiion on he specific growh objecives is direced hrough inegraion beween askoriened moivaional echniques and self-direcion.. Dada & Horn (1993) divided he moivaional climae ino wo performance Climae and masery Climae. This undersanding of he masery climae in he spor leads ahlee o hink ha a lo of effor is always associaed wih favorable oucome. On he oher hand, i is undersood ha performance moivaional climae le he ahlee ry o be beer han anoher. Moivaional masery climae is in a eam where ahlees are characerized wih hard work, he performance improvemen and helping ohers in he eam (aric & ucik, 2009, Treasure & Robers, 1994). Kalaja e al (2009) examined he relaionship beween Moivaional climae and self- 18

2 deerminaion in physical educaion classes. The resuls of his sudy showed Moivaional masery climae led o more self-deerminaion. Player (2010) in a sudy considered he effec of Moivaional climae creaed by coaches on he self-deerminaion of young women ahlees. He observed a significanly posiive effec of moivaion masery on Moivaional self-deerminaion of hose women. Overall, he general facors ha can be more effecive in mobilizing he self-deerminaion is very imporan. This sudy invesigaed he relaionship beween moivaional climae and self-deerminaion of elie volleyball players in Iran. Mehodology The sudy considers he relaionship beween moivaional climae and self-deerminaion of elie volleyball players in Iran.So, he mos suiable mehod for research was descripive - correlaion. The saisical populaions in he sudy were all he male players in men's volleyball players' league in In he presen sudy 150 samples from he volleyball player's league erewconsidered. In order o gaher informaion,we used perceived Moivaional climae in spor quesionnaire(pmcsq) developed by Seifriz, Duda & Chi (1992).The quesionnaire includes wo subscales as masery Climae and performance climae including 21 quesions based on Liker scale of five. The apparen validiy of he quesionnaire for validiy, face validiy and confirmaory facor analysis was used. Cronbach's alpha reliabiliy coefficien was used for his sudy, Cronbach's alpha coefficien for he moivaional climae componens was masery Climae and moivaional climae-; also, 0.83 was obained for he moivaional climae. Similarly, o assess he self-deerminaion,we applied sandardized spor moivaion scale ( SMS) developed by plleier eal (1995).I included 28 quesions ha has hree subscales o measure inrinsic moivaion (12 quesions), exrinsic moivaion (12 quesion) and devaluaion (4 quesions) based on a seven-iem Liker scale. This quesionnaire has been used in recen years in various researches and Cranach's alpha for all subscales is repored more han 0.75 In order o organize and summarize he raw scores and describe he size of he samples, we used descripive saisics (mean, percenage, frequency, sandard deviaion and ables) and o deermine he relaionship beween he variables of muliple, we applied mulivariae regression. indings Table 1: Mulivariae regression o predic "inrinsic moivaion" hrough moivaional climae Predicor variables coefficien Performance Climae Maser Climae

3 According o he mulivariae regression coefficiens obained, here is a significan posiive relaionship beween "performance climae " and "masery climae" wih "inrinsic moivaion",. Thus increasing he "climae acion" and "Climae masery" also increases "inrinsic moivaion". Table 2:Mulivariae regression o predic he "exrinsic moivaion" hrough moivaional climae Predicor variables coefficien Performance Climae Maser Climae According o he mulivariae regression coefficiens obained, here is a significan posiive relaionship beween " performance climae " and "exrinsic moivaion". Thus increasing he "climae acion" also increases "exrinsic moivaion". elbat3:muliple regression o predic "no moivaion" hrough "moivaional climae" Predicor variables coefficien Performance Climae Maser Climae Given he above able, and wih emphasis on he level, here is no significan relaionship beween "moivaional climae" wih "devaluaion" in = α. In oher words, "moivaional climae" canno predic "devaluaion". Table 4: Mulivariae regression o predic "self moivaion" hrough "moivaional climae" Predicor variables coefficien Performance Climae Maser Climae According o he obained mulivariae regression coefficiens, here is a significan posiive relaionship beween performance climae " and "masery climae" wih "moivaional climae". Thus increasing he performance climae and "masery Climae also increases "self -deerminaion". 20

4 Conclusion This sudy aimed o deermine he relaionship beween moivaional climae and selfdeerminaion of elie volleyball players in Iran. Resuls showed ha here was a posiive and significan relaionship beween moivaional climae and self-deerminaion (p<0.05). In oher words, we can predic "self moivaion" hrough "moivaional climae". The resuls showed ha one can expec o see a linear relaionship beween he performance climae (ß=0.93) and Climae masery (ß=0.75) wih self-deerminaion (p<0.05). The resuls of he research comply wih hose of runel (1999), Sandage e al (2003), Mawi & Templin (2004), and Kipp and Amorose (2008), Kalaja e al (2009) and Player (2010). The findings also showed ha here was a significan relaionship beween he masery climae and performance climae wih inrinsic moivaion (p<0.05). The resuls of he research resuls are consisen wih hose of Sandage e al (2003), Mawi & Templin (2004), and Kipp and Amorose (2008) and Kalaja e al (2009). The findings showed a significan relaionship beween he performance climae and exrinsic moivaion (p<0.05). u here is no significan relaionship beween performance Climae and he moivaional masery wih devaluaion (p>0.05). These resuls sugges ha he moivaional climae can affec he ahlee's self-deerminaion. References Ames, C. (1992). Achievemen Goals, Moivaional Climae, and Moivaional Processes.
