Abstract :
The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between perceived autonomy-supportive behaviors of coaches with psychological needs satisfaction, self-determined motivation, and sport commitment of elite female players in handball league. The research method was descriptive, namely survey. To do so, the statistical population of this research that consisted of 237 female players was selected as the sample too. Players responded to a few questionnaires: Perceived Autonomy-Support Scale for Exercise Settings (PASSES), Psychological Needs Satisfaction (PNS), Sport Motivation Scale (SMS), and Sport Commitment Model Scale (SCMS). Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation coefficient and Structural Equation Models (SEM). The findings showed that autonomy-supportive behaviors of coaches had significant positive correlation with psychological needs, intrinsic motivation, introjected regulation, and indentified regulation. However, the correlation between autonomy-supportive behaviors of the coaches with amotivation was negative and significant. In addition, intrinsic motivation, introjected regulation, and indentified regulation had significant positive correlations with sport commitment in players. The results of path analysis offered support for the proposed model. Total mediation was supported in the case of psychological needs satisfaction, intrinsic motivation, introjected regulation, and indentified regulation in the relationship between autonomy-supportive coaches and sport commited players. The results provide support for the self-determination theory in elite players.
