Description
Summary:The influence of coaches on athletes is associated with positive performance enhancements such as character development, increase in the satisfaction of athletes and other encouraging outcomes. To help enhance athletic performance, coaches must possess specific abilities, such as coaching motivation and coaching satisfaction. It is hypothesised that coaches with high motivation levels will have greater coaching satisfaction. The purpose of this study is to identify the relationship between motivation and satisfaction among Malaysian coaches. A descriptive study is conducted using a correlational method via survey, and a total of 323 coaches are recruited through purposive sampling. Coaching Motivation Scale and Coaching Satisfaction questionnaire serve as the instruments of this study. The questionnaire is distributed through the direct approach. The results of the measurement model test reveal that the outer loadings of both constructs are above >.708. Composite reliability for coaching motivation (CR=.940) and coaching satisfaction (CR=.933) are successfully met (>.70). The Average Variance Extracted (AVE) values for coaching motivation (AVE=0.798) and coaching satisfaction (AVE=0.778) are well above the minimum criteria (AVE>.50). The latent variables of coaching motivation and coaching satisfaction are also higher than the correlation values among other latent variables. The results indicate that all the reliability and validity measures of the model have been met, thus, the model is valid and reliable. The structural model test also demonstrated a strong, positive relationship between coaching motivation and coaching satisfaction among coaches (fis = 0.811, t = 30.653, p
