Abstract

Based on the hierarchical and multidimensional conceptualization of Duda (2013) of the motivational climate, the objective of this study was to test the moderating role of autonomous motivation in the relationship between the perception of the empowering climate created by the coach and the enjoyment in the practice by baseball pitchers. Participants were ninety-seven Mexican pitchers (Mage = 14.12, SD = 1.09) belonging to 39 teams from 10 Leagues in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. The psychological variables were measured with the adapted to the Mexican context versions of the Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire-Coach (EDMCQ-C), the Sport Motivation Scale (SMS-II), and the Sport Satisfaction Instrument (SSI). The results of the moderated regression model with PROCESS indicated that: autonomous motivation moderates the relationship between the empowering climate and enjoyment (B = -.15, p <.05), specifically, for high values of autonomous motivation the relationship between climate empowering and fun was null, becoming this positive and significant relationship for values of autonomous motivation lower than 2.05. In conclusion, the autonomous motivation moderates the relationship between the empowering climate perception created by the coach and the enjoyment in the practice of baseball pitchers.
