Abstract

Intrateam competition for specific roles and playing time is a continuous imperative process in elite sport teams. The assessment of this competition is done by the coach and the outcome of this process has a significant impact on the team and the players. The following hypothesis was put forward for testing: Self-reported playing time and perceptions of justice among elite ice-hockey and handball players predict their satisfaction with the coach. Elite ice-hockey and handball players (N = 231) reported playing time and completed the Perceived Justice and Athlete Satisfaction Questionnaires. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses show that self-reported playing time, distributive justice, and procedural justice explains 41% to 45% of the variance in the dependent variable of satisfaction with a coach, thereby confirming the hypothesis. Self-reported playing time does not explain as much as the justice variables. The results complement earlier research showing that training and instructions as well as positive feedback were strong determinants of satisfaction with leadership. In an elite team setting perceived justice emerges as an important predictor coach satisfaction and the management of intrateam positional competition is therefore an important leadership task to consider. Moreover, coaches allocating limited resources among players should reflect on the justice criteria these decisions are based on if satisfaction with the coach is at stake.

摘要

在精英运动队中，团队内部争夺特定角色和比赛时间是一个持续的当务之急。比赛的评估由教练进行，这一过程的结果对球队和球员都有重大影响。提出了以下假设进行测试：自我报告的上场时间以及精英冰球和手球运动员的正义感可以预测他们对教练的满意度。优秀的冰上曲棍球和手球运动员（N = 231）报告了上场时间，并完成了感知正义和运动员满意度问卷调查。分层多元回归分析表明，自我报告的上场时间，分配正义和程序正义解释了教练满意度的因变量中41％至45％的方差，从而证实了这一假设。自我报告的上场时间不能解释正义变量。该结果补充了先前的研究，表明培训和指导以及积极的反馈意见是领导满意度的重要决定因素。在一支精英团队中，公正感是预测教练满意度的重要指标，因此，团队内部位置竞争的管理是一项重要的领导任务。而且，教练在球员之间分配有限的资源时，应考虑这些决定所基于的正义标准，如果对教练的满意度受到威胁的话。在一支精英团队中，公正感是预测教练满意度的重要指标，因此，团队内部位置竞争的管理是一项重要的领导任务。而且，教练在球员之间分配有限的资源时，应考虑这些决定所基于的正义标准，如果对教练的满意度受到威胁的话。在一支精英团队中，公正感是预测教练满意度的重要指标，因此，团队内部位置竞争的管理是一项重要的领导任务。而且，教练在球员之间分配有限的资源时，应考虑这些决定所基于的正义标准，如果对教练的满意度受到威胁的话。
