Coaching efficacy and occupational commitment of intercollegiate soccer coaches
Abstract: The study was designed to examine the difference between coaching efficacy and affective commitment in male and female intercollegiate soccer coaches. Additionally, the nature and existence of a relationship between coaching efficacy beliefs and affective commitment to coaching was examined. The participants were female (n = 42) and male (n = 59) coaches of intercollegiate soccer teams attending a week-long coaching education course. The average age of female coaches was 28.07 (SD = 5.62) years old, and of male coaches was 29.76 (SD = 4.04) years old. None of the female coaches worked with men's intercollegiate soccer teams; however, 37% of the male coaches worked with women's intercollegiate soccer teams. Both head (41%) and assistant (59%) coaches from all NCAA divisions were represented. Gender differences were examined for coaching efficacy, as measured by the Coaching Efficacy Scale (CES; Feltz et al., 1999) and for affective occupational commitment, as measured by an occupational commitment measure developed by Meyer et ale (1993) in intercollegiate soccer coaches. No significant gender differences were found for coaching efficacy and affective occupational commitment to coaching. Additionally, the researcher examined relationships between coaching efficacy and affective commitment. Positive significant (p <.05) relationships were found between coaching efficacy, including three subscales (game strategy efficacy, motivation efficacy, and teaching technique efficacy) and affective occupational commitment. No relationship (p> .05) was found between character building efficacy and affective occupational commitment.
