Motivational climate and coach-behaviour seem important to understand sport involvement and participation. However, less is known about the potential interaction between these facets, and how it relates to athlete satisfaction. This study’s purpose is to examine the relationship between the perceived motivational climate, supportive coach-behaviour, and athletes’ personal treatment satisfaction among young soccer players. More specifically, we investigated the moderating effect of supportive coach-behaviour on the relationship between motivational climate and personal treatment satisfaction. Five hundred and thirty-two players (Mean age = 15.4 years, SD = 1.2) attending a Norwegian national soccer tournament participated in the study. Self-completion questionnaires were used to attain data. A linear regression analysis revealed that mastery of climate and supportive coach-behaviour were positively associated with personal treatment satisfaction. A negative association was found between performance climate and personal treatment satisfaction. Further, moderation analyses revealed that supportive coach-behaviour moderated the relationship between performance climate and personal treatment satisfaction. The findings indicate that a performance climate may not be as maladaptive when coaches provide supportive behaviour. The findings highlight the value of a further examination of the interaction between motivational climate and coaching behaviours, and its potential relations to young athlete’s sport experience.

挪威青少年足球运动员的动机性气氛与个人待遇之间的关系：支持性教练行为的调节作用

激励性的气氛和教练的行为对于理解运动的参与和参与似乎很重要。但是，人们对这些方面之间潜在的相互作用及其与运动员满意度之间的关系知之甚少。这项研究的目的是检验年轻足球运动员的感知动机气氛，教练支持行为和运动员个人待遇之间的关系。更具体地说，我们调查了支持性教练行为对动机氛围和个人待遇满意度之间关系的调节作用。532个玩家（平均年龄= 15.4岁，SD= 1.2）参加了挪威国家足球比赛的参与者。使用自我完成调查表获得数据。线性回归分析显示，精通气候和支持性教练行为与个人治疗满意度呈正相关。在绩效氛围和个人护理满意度之间发现负相关。此外，适度分析显示，支持教练的行为可以缓和绩效氛围和个人待遇之间的关系。研究结果表明，当教练提供支持性行为时，绩效氛围可能不那么适应不良。这些发现凸显了进一步研究激励气氛与教练行为之间相互作用的价值，
