ABSTRACT

Although extensive sport research has been dedicated to understanding coach effectiveness, this work has largely explored how coaches’ behaviours influence individual athletes rather than considering the total team. Accordingly, we sought to examine the breadth of existing research involving the influence of coaches on team dynamics. Adhering to PRISMA for Scoping Review guidelines, 9,454 peer–reviewed studies were identified using four electronic databases, with 82 ultimately meeting inclusion criteria. Studies were grouped based on interpersonal, intrapersonal, and professional coach behaviours. Within these groups, team dynamics frameworks were used to explore the team–level variables. The results demonstrated that the majority of research has focused on coaches’ interpersonal behaviours on teams’ emergent states, while largely overlooking the influence of coaches’ intrapersonal or professional behaviours on teams’ structures or processes. We advocate for the diversification of methodologies employed and targeted investigations guided by established frameworks to better understand coaches’ influence on team dynamics.

摘要

尽管广泛的体育研究致力于了解教练的有效性，但这项工作主要探讨了教练的行为如何影响个别运动员，而不是考虑整个团队。因此，我们试图检查现有研究的广度，这些研究涉及教练对团队动力的影响。遵循 PRISMA 的范围审查指南，使用四个电子数据库确定了 9,454 项经过同行审查的研究，其中 82 项最终符合纳入标准。研究根据人际交往、人际交往和专业教练行为进行分组。在这些小组中，团队动态框架被用来探索团队层面的变量。结果表明，大多数研究都集中在教练在团队紧急状态下的人际行为，而在很大程度上忽略了教练的个人或职业行为对团队结构或流程的影响。我们提倡采用多样化的方法和以既定框架为指导的有针对性的调查，以更好地了解教练对团队动态的影响。
