The Relationship Model between the Misconduct with Motivation Coaches Elite Female Athletes

The aim of this study was to present a model of the relationship between coaches' misconduct and the progressive motivation of elite female athletes. The method of the study was a factor analysis and in terms of implementation, it was a field study. The population of the study consisted of all elite female athletes composed of two team-based and two individual sports including cycling and rowing who were invited to the national team camp in 2016. The total sample size of 190 athletes was selected. Data was collected using questionnaires including Bloorizadeh's examination of the experience of misconduct (2013), Lange and Frisch's progressive motivation (2006). Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used to predict the change and method of factor analysis, and T-test was used to examine the fitness of model and determining the effect was done by statistical software such as SPSS, Excel and SMART-PLS. The results of the study indicated that there were multiple relationships between the components of misconduct and the progressive motivation of elite female athletes. The components of misconduct explained the progressive motivation. Goodness of fit indices (NFI, SRMR), with their interpretation, showed that the model did not have a fair suitable fitness and the indices should be interpreted with caution in SMART-PLS.
