چکیده

هدف: هدف پژوهش حاضرتعیین رابطه عزت نفس با انگیزه ورزشی ورزشکاران بود.
مواد و روش ها: پژوهش حاضر از منظر هدف کاربردی و از نظر شیوه جمع­آوری داده­ها از نوع همبستگی بود. جامعه آماری تحقیق حاضر ورزشکاران مراجعه­کننده به باشگاه­های بدنسازی شهرکرج در سال 1402 بودند که تعداد 110 نفر به صورت در دسترس به­عنوان نمونه آماری انتخاب شدند. جهت­ جمع­آوری داده­ها از پرسشنامه عزت­نفس کوپراسمیت و مقیاس انگیزه ورزشی استفاده شد. تحلیل داده­ها توسط نرم‌افزاری آماری SPSS-26 انجام شد.
یافته ها: نتایج نشان داد که بین عزت نفس و انگیزه ورزشی ورزشکاران رابطه قوی و مثبتی وجود دارد (05/0>P). نتایج آزمون تحلیل ­مسیر تأییدی حاکی از برازش ارتباط بین خودتعیینی و اخلاق ­ورزشی بود. تمامی بارهای عاملی بین مؤلفه­ها و عوامل در سطح معقولی قرار داشتند و مدل از برازش مناسبی برخوردار بود که درنهایت، مدل­ مفهومی پژوهش تأیید شد.
نتیجه گیری: چنین نتیجه­گیری شد که بین ابعاد روانشناختی افراد و بعد جسمانی آن­ها ارتباط وجود دارد و می­توان از این مساله جهت بهبود هریک از این ابعاد با کمک گرفتن از بعد دیگر استفاده کرد.

چکیده [English]

Background and Purpose
 
One of the crucial topics in sports psychology that influences the level and intensity of athletes' performance is motivation. Motivation is a structural construct used to describe the internal or external forces that create intent, direction, intensity, and persistence in behavior. In fact, motivation is the primary factor driving effort and reinforcing voluntary behaviors in humans to achieve goals. Motivation in sports activities refers to the tendencies, social variables, or cognitive factors that arise during play and competition with others. When individuals lack the intention or desire to participate in a specific activity, a lack of motivation becomes apparent (Khoda Dadi et al., 2017; Sis et al., 2019). However, motivation alone does not lead to improved performance; there are other factors that influence it and alter its level and intensity, one of which is self-esteem (Abdollah et al., 2023). Self-esteem is a concept that refers to an individual's sense of worth in the world, shaped by the cultural and belief structures within which the person lives. Unfortunately, despite the importance of the relationship between motivation and self-esteem, there is a lack of relevant research and understanding of their structural relationships. Therefore, based on the aforementioned points, the aim of the present study is to examine the relationship between athletes' self-esteem and sports motivation.
Materials and Methods
In this study, self-esteem was considered the independent variable, while sports motivation was regarded as the dependent variable. The relationships between the variables were examined using path analysis (structural models), and the measurement models were converted into latent variables using factor analysis. The study was descriptive and correlational in nature, applied in terms of its objective. Participants included all beginner female athletes in Karaj city, Alborz province, in 2023, from which 110 individuals were selected based on Power-G software. For data collection, the Cooper-Smith Self-esteem Questionnaire and the Sports Motivation Scale were used. To examine the relationship between the variables, the Pearson correlation coefficient was used. For predicting sports motivation based on self-esteem, simultaneous regression analysis was conducted using SPSS-26 software.
Results
The results indicated a significant positive relationship between athletes' self-esteem and sports motivation (P<0.05). Furthermore, the confirmatory path analysis results showed a strong fit for the relationship between self-determination and sportsmanship. All factor loadings between the components and factors were within acceptable ranges, and the model displayed a strong fit. Ultimately, the study's conceptual model was validated. It was determined that a connection exists between individuals' psychological and physical dimensions, and this link can be leveraged to enhance each dimension.
Conclusion
The present study aimed to determine the relationship between self-esteem and athletes' sports motivation. The results of the study indicated a positive correlation between athletes' self-esteem and their sports motivation. Additionally, the findings reinforce the definition of self-esteem as a fundamental aspect of personality that individuals feel and experience in their interpersonal relationships. It can be concluded that physical activity and exercise are important sources of motivation for individuals, making encouraging physical activity essential for educational and health institutions. This is supported by growing research showing the positive effects of physical activity on subjective well-being, contributing to mental health and ultimately increasing self-esteem.
It is recommended to utilize the findings of this study and future research exploring the reasons and factors affecting sports motivation and self-esteem to advance community sports goals and increase public participation in sports. This aims to improve the quality of life and physical and psychological health of the general population. Since human motivation is part of a chain of different states that can influence sports participation and self-esteem, future studies could explore the types of motivation, their levels, and intensity in relation to dimensions of self-esteem.
