ENHANCING MOTIVATIONAL CLIMATE
IN SPORT
Competitive engineering is a motivational climate strategy that attempts to enhance motivation thru systematic change in the competitive environment.Motivational climate has its origins in achievement goal theory that has found players in mastery-oriented (i.e., emphasize process) climates have higher intrinsic motivation, greater enjoyment and satisfaction and less attrition than do outcome-oriented teammates.
STRUCTURING A BETTER MOTIVATIONAL CLIMATE
CE attempts to enhance intrinsic motivation by creating positive changes in how sport is structured to enhance
competence, increase personal
self-determination or control, and
provide greater opportunities to be with friends (i.e., relatedness)
‘TARGET’-ING STRATEGIES TO ENHANCE SPORT
CLIMATE
The ‘TARGET’ concept is an acronym to identify 6 key strategies for creating a more mastery-oriented motivational climate.
TARGET CONCEPT
T = Task Structure – focuses on whether process or product is emphasized and the variety, challenge, control and meaningfulness of learning experiences.A = Authority Structure – determines who has responsibility in the learning process and how leadership and decision-making take place.
TARGET CONCEPT
R = Reward Structure – focuses on whether intrinsic and/or extrinsic rewards are emphasized. G = Grouping Structure – determines whether homogeneous (i.e., similar skill level) or heterogeneous (i.e., mixed skill levels) are used in practice (i.e., 1’s versus 2’s) or competition.
TARGET CONCEPT
E = Evaluation Structure – focuses on whether evaluation is conducted primarily based on process or product. T = Time Structure – determines the pacing of learning and how it is adjusted to match learning rates (i.e., enough time to ensure everyone masters task or play).
COMPETITIVE ENGINEERING OVERALL
GOALCompetitive engineering attempts to create programs that ensure consistent development of physical, psychological and social goals is emphasized ahead of winning.However, when development is maximized, the chance of winning increases.
6 GOALS OF COMPETITIVE ENGINEERING
attract athletes to sport,increase process orientation and intrinsic motivation,enhance skill development, increase perceived competence, maximize fun and enjoyment, and minimize burnout and attrition.
4 STRATEGIES OF COMPETITIVE ENGINEERING
increase action and scoring,create high personal involvement, keep scores close, and maintain positive social relationships with teammates and opponents.
COMPETITIVE ENGINEERING TECHNIQUES
modify rules,change facilities,modify equipment, andprovide a choice of competitive level.
