dc.description.abstractCoaches' motivation is central to coaching practices including how and why they coach; however, studies examining coach motivation across different cultural contexts remains limited. Indeed, context matters. In the present study, we aimed to conduct initial validity and reliability assessment of the Turkish version of the Coach Motivation Questionnaire (CMQ; McLean, Mallett, & Newcombe (2012). Assessing coach motivation: The development of the coach motivation questionnaire (CMQ). Journal of Sport & Exercise Psychology, 34(2), 184-207). A total of 578 currently working coaches (145 females, 433 males) aged between 22 and 70 years (M = 32.4, SD = 11.04) voluntarily participated in the study. The Turkish adaptation of the CMQ (CMQ-TR) consists of 22 items and six subscales, including External Regulation, Introjected Regulation, Identified Regulation, Integrated Regulation, Intrinsic Motivation, and Amotivation, rated on a 7-point Likert scale. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was employed to assess construct validity, while Cronbach's alpha and Composite Reliability (CR) coefficients were used to examine internal consistency. The CFA results indicated that the factor loadings of the items ranged from 0.37 to 0.92, and the model demonstrated good and acceptable fit indices: chi(2)/df = 2.31, RMSEA = 0.048, NFI = 0.97, NNFI = 0.98, CFI = 0.98, GFI = 0.94, AGFI = 0.91. Internal consistency values for the subscales ranged between 0.691 and 0.894, indicating acceptable reliability. The findings provide preliminary evidence that the CMQ-TR is a valid and reliable tool for assessing coach motivation. However, further psychometric studies with diverse sample groups are recommended to continue to examine the scale's robustness and suitability.
