| Summary: | The purpose of this study is to identify the different intrinsic, extrinsic motivations and amotivations of martial artists during sparring and how these motivations influence their perceived quality of performance. A mixed method research design was used in which the qualitative method was completed through interviews and was supported through the quantitative method by the use of constructed scales. Results were analyzed through content analysis for qualitative method that resulted into six factors of intrinsic motivation: optimism, self-fulfillment, confidence, enjoyment, learning experience and curiosity seven factors of extrinsic motivation: team mates, sparring mate/opponent, punishments, exercise, rewards, exercise, rank/level, avoidance of physical pain and five factors of amotivation: environment, type of opponent, physical capabilities, punishments and personal thoughts and feelings. Descriptive statistics, T-test and Correlation were used to analyze the quantitative data. It was found out that martial artists can be intrinsically motivated with perceived satisfactory performance, intrinsically motivated with perceived unsatisfactory performance, extrinsically motivated with perceived satisfactory performance and extrinsically motivated with unsatisfactory performance. |
