Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
Athletes satisfaction is a positive and affective states which is the result of complex evaluation process, structure and outcome associate with the athlete's experience. The purposed of this research is to analyze whether there is a significant effect on UPSI football player satisfaction towards coaching during Covid-19 pandemic. The research is also done to identify leadership style of the coach during covid-19 pandemic. A total of 30 male UPSI football player have been selected as sample. The determination of the sample size was based on the diagram of Krejcie and Morgan (1970). The Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS) developed by Chelladurai & Saleh, (1980) and adapted Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaire (ASQ) developed by Zid Azlina (2017) was used in this research. The sample was given a set of questionnaire that included the LSS and Adapted ASQ. On the LSS questionnaire they were 40 questions that were divided into 5 sections with a five point Likert scale; 1 (Never), 2 (Seldom), 3 (Occasionally), 4 (Often), and 5 (Always). On the adapted ASQ the sample were given 19 questions that were divided also into 5 sections with a five point Likert scale; 1 (Not at all satisfied), 2 (Slightly satisfied), 3 (Neutral), 4 (Very satisfied), and 5 (Extremely satisfied). The data was analyzed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 23. The descriptive analysis of the data were analyzed using means, frequencies, percentage, and standard deviations. The results shows that training coaching behavior was the most preferred leadership style with the highest mean score (M = 3.03, SD= .91) and followed by social support coaching behavior (M = 2.93, SD= .92), democratic coaching behavior (M= 2.83, SD= .96), rewarding coaching behavior (M = 2.54,SD =.85) and autocratic coaching behavior (M = 2.48, SD= .81). The results also shows team performance (M = 3.29, SD= .86) was the most important subscale influencing players satisfaction in coaching. The mean scores showed that personal treatment and training instruction (M = 3.03, SD = .79) was the second highest mean score for athlete satisfaction. The others factors were personal dedication (M = 2.83, SD=  .82), team task contribution (M =2.48, SD = .88) and the most obvious of this are ability utilization (M = 2.45, SD = .76) the lowest rated satisfied for athlete satisfaction. The findings of the study showed that players preferred training and instruction coaching behavior from the coach during the Covid-19 pandemic. The result also showed that the players satisfaction towards coaching remains high during Covid-19 pandemic. It can be concluded that even without proper coaching during this Covid-19 pandemic the players remain satisfied with the coaching and they remain dependent to their coach. This shows that the coach has managed to adapt to this new situation and so do the player.
