| This study aims to investigate the relationship between perceived coachs competence support, task orientation, self-efficacy and engagement of Chinese high school football players from a competency motivation perspective. A cross-sectional survey of 385 Chinese high school football players (228 boys; 157 girls; Mage = 16.07 years; SD = 1.15; range = 14-19 years) was conducted using proportional stratified random sampling. A multivariate mediation model was tested using structural equation modelling (SEM) to investigate the relationships of perceived coaching competency support on athlete engagement directly, or indirectly through task orientation and self-efficacy. Perceived coachs competence support positively predicted athlete engagement through task orientation and self-efficacy (? = .116, p < 0.01; ? = .112, p < 0.01), and perceived coachs competence support positively predicted self-efficacy through task orientation, and then positively predicted athlete engagement (? = .045, p < 0.01). Moreover, perceived coachs competency support also directly and positively predicted athlete engagement (? = .135, p < 0.01). The results showed that task orientation and self-efficacy played a partial mediating role between competence-supportive coaching behavior and athlete engagement (? = .272, p < 0.01). This study shows that perceived coachs competency support not only directly predicts athlete engagement, but also indirectly predicts athlete engagement through the multi-mediated chain of task orientation and self-efficacy. This speaks volumes about the need to develop competence-supportive techniques among high school football coaches in order to maximize athletes motivation and engagement. 2023 by authors, all rights reserved. |
