摘要：This research aimed to compare leadership and motivation of basketball coaches according to length of experience. 411 basketball coaches who work for basketball clubs or basketball schools and who are head coach or assistant coach voluntarily participated to the study. Mean age of the participants was found to be 42.09±18.56. Data was collected by Leadership for Sport Scale and Intrinsic Motivation Scale. Leadership for Sport Scale-LSS was used for data collection. There are 3 types of this scale, these are; a) leadership behaviours that athletes prefer for their coaches, (b) Coaches’ own leadership behaviours or ideal leader behaviour, (c) coaches’ real leadership behaviours that athletes perceive. In this research scale (b) “coaches’ own leadership behaviours or ideal leader behaviour” was used. Validity and reliability study of the scale measuring coaches’ perception of their own leadership behaviours into Turkish was previously made. In order to measure basketball coaches’ intrinsic motivation, Intrinsic Motivation Scale was used. Language adaptation of the scale was previously made. In data analysis, descriptive statistic and t-test test were used. According to the results, mean scores of leadership and intrinsic motivation were found to be significantly differing according to sports coaches’ length of experience (p≤0.05). As a result, length of basketball coaches’ experience appears to be important for leadership and intrinsic motivation.
