Dataset for The Relationship of Coach-Created Motivational Climate to Teamwork Behaviors in Female Collegiate Athletes.sav

Although the development of, and engagement in, teamwork behaviors, such as understanding their purpose, developing and executing plans, and nurturing teammate relationships, would be expected to emerge from coach-created task-involving climates, no study has examined this connection. Thus, we examined how athletes’ perceptions of the coach-created motivational climate relate to beliefs about their team’s teamwork behaviors (e.g., Preparation, Execution). Participants were female NCAA Division I collegiate athletes (<i>N </i>= 536; <i>M</i>_age= 20.13 years, <i>SD </i>= 1.36; 79.3% White) who completed the Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire and the Multidimensional Assessment of Teamwork in Sport – Short Form. Hierarchical and nonhierarchical cluster analyses revealed that the athletes were experiencing one of three coach-created motivational climates: low task/high ego, moderate task/moderate ego, and high task/low ego. There was a significant main effect for the motivational climate clusters in relation to the five teamwork areas, Pillai’s Trace = .154, <i>F</i>(10, 1048) = 8.76, <i>p</i> &lt; .001, partial η² = .08. Post-hoc descriptive discriminant analysis (DDA) revealed a single significant function, Wilk’s Λ = .848, χ²(10) = 87.66, <i>p</i> &lt; .001, on which all five areas contributed. The motivational clusters’ group centroids were significantly different, <i>F</i>(2, 533) = 47.64, <i>p</i> &lt; .001, partial η² = .15; athletes in high task/low ego motivational climates endorsed a higher level of teamwork behaviors compared to those in moderate task/moderate ego (<i>d</i> = .54) and low task/high ego (<i>d</i> = 1.14) climates. These findings suggest the importance of coach-created motivational climates on the teamwork behaviors athletes endorse.

尽管团队协作行为的养成与践行——诸如明晰团队宗旨、制定并执行计划、维系队友联结——本应在教练营造的任务定向型氛围（task-involving climates）中形成，但目前尚无研究探讨这二者间的关联。因此，本研究旨在探讨运动员对教练所创设的动机氛围的感知，与其对自身团队协作行为（如准备工作、执行环节）的信念之间的关系。

本研究的被试为美国全国大学体育协会（National Collegiate Athletic Association, NCAA）一级联赛女子运动员（样本量<i>N</i> = 536；平均年龄<i>M</i>_age = 20.13岁，标准差<i>SD</i> = 1.36；白人占比79.3%），所有被试均完成了《运动感知动机氛围问卷（Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire）》与《运动团队协作多维评估简版量表（Multidimensional Assessment of Teamwork in Sport – Short Form）》。

分层与非分层聚类分析结果显示，运动员所处的教练创设的动机氛围可划分为三类：低任务定向/高自我取向、中等任务定向/中等自我取向，以及高任务定向/低自我取向。

在五项团队协作维度上，动机氛围聚类存在显著主效应：皮莱迹统计量（Pillai’s Trace）= 0.154，<i>F</i>(10, 1048) = 8.76，<i>p</i> < 0.001，偏η²（partial η²）= 0.08。事后描述性判别分析（DDA）结果显示存在一个显著判别函数：威尔克λ统计量（Wilk’s Λ）= 0.848，χ²(10) = 87.66，<i>p</i> < 0.001，且五项团队协作维度均对该函数具有贡献。三类动机氛围集群的组质心存在显著差异：<i>F</i>(2, 533) = 47.64，<i>p</i> < 0.001，偏η² = 0.15；相较于中等任务定向/中等自我取向氛围组（效应量<i>d</i> = 0.54）与低任务定向/高自我取向氛围组（<i>d</i> = 1.14），高任务定向/低自我取向氛围组的运动员报告的团队协作行为水平更高。

本研究结果表明，教练创设的动机氛围对运动员所报告的团队协作行为具有重要影响。
