Sport Leadership Factors Affecting Youth Athletes: A Systematic Literature Review | Chapter 7 | Language, Literature and Education: Research Updates Vol. 10

 

Leadership is a fundamental aspect of sports performance, particularly within team sport environments. Another important component of leadership is communication and the art of making people see their value and potential. Effective leaders should possess several competencies, such as excellent communication skills, decision-making skills, creative thinking, demonstrating empathy, being flexible, intuitively optimistic and persistent. Good leadership is mandatory for athletes to develop and perform in their sport. Crucial components of leadership are communication, motivating athletes and unleashing their potential for personal growth and well-being. Sport leaders define and shape the environment that influences the need fulfilment of youth athletes to feel safe, to learn, and to perform. However, inappropriate or devaluing communication may thwart youth athlete’s needs. Good sports leadership of youth athletes is, however, not yet framed in a specific leadership style. Therefore, a systematic review was conducted to examine facilitating and hindering factors in youth sport leadership, i.e., for teenage athletes aged 10-18 years. The final selection included 14 studies that focused on various factors and dimensions in youth sport leadership from the perspective of self-determination theory and leadership styles. Most studies show the need for autonomy-supportive behaviour and aversion to controlling behaviour of the sport leader. Sport leaders who fail to provide sufficient supportive coaching reduce athletes’ engagement, well-being and competence development. The review also unfolded a noticeable Western bias in the studies selected as well, as a method bias indicating a lack of mixed-methods designs and only one qualitative study being selected. In conclusion, the necessity of motivational and development-oriented responsive youth leadership is emphasised as it requires more explicit quality monitoring in practice, policy and future research.

Cross-domain Motivation: Exploring Means of Learner Engagement in ESL Classrooms |Chapter 4 | Language, Literature and Education: Research Updates Vol. 10

 

The concept of human intelligence as a monolithic phenomenon was replaced in the last part of the previous century by the theory of multiple intelligences. Intelligence(s) and motivation are inseparable aspects of learning something new. In the absence of the former, learning does not proceed beyond the level of bits and pieces of information, nor do those fragments get assimilated into knowledge. This is the case with the process of learning. Lack of motivation, perhaps, gets reflected more in the product, namely, the learning outcomes. This paper is an inquiry into the possibility of getting motivation from one field of learning, such as art or kinesthesis, into another desirable one, namely, studies. If a child displays intelligence in one field, it presupposes the presence of self-motivation behind that display. If part of that self-motivation can be manoeuvred skilfully into the desired area, the learning outcome is likely to be enhanced. The paper presents this argument against the backdrop of learning and teaching English as a second language.

Development of the Motives of Long-Term Customers of Health-Oriented Fitness Companies During Membership | Chapter 2 | New Horizons of Science, Technology and Culture Vol. 5

 

Background: Sustainable product and service improvements are necessary for fitness studios to develop a long-term market and remain competitive. This is extremely important since meeting client expectations can lead to customer happiness, which in turn improves customer loyalty and financial success.

 

Aim: This study aims to understand the development of motivational factors among long-term members of health-oriented fitness clubs and to understand the relationship between different motives and membership longevity.

 

Methods: A survey of the members of a big metropolitan fitness club was conducted. The fifteen items on the survey were broken down into seven motivation-related categories. The sample included 278 respondents, all of whom had only participated in equipment-based training. The analysis focused on the mean values (MV) and standard deviations (SD) of membership duration based on whether particular motives were mentioned. Statistical significance was assessed using t-tests.

 

Findings: The average age of the respondents was 56.6 years, and the average membership duration among those with over one year of participation was 11.6 years. Several significant differences were identified based on motivational factors: a) People who have the motive ‘general improvement in physical fitness’ are members for longer than those who do not have it (means 11.9 years to 7.9 years); b) People who have the motive ‘positive influence on physical complaints’ and use the term ‘cardiovascular complaints’ as a synonym for their physical complaints are members for a shorter period than those who do not have it (means 8.7 years to 12.4 years); c) people who name the motive ‘independent training planning and control’ stay longer than people who do not name it (means 12.8 years to 10.5 years) and d) people who name the motive ‘preparation for their own sport’ (means 15.2 years to 11.3 years).

 

Conclusion: To create lasting customer loyalty, it is therefore important to thoroughly examine the motives of the customers, to know and evaluate them and to give appropriate personal action and fitness recommendations. The insights from this study not only contribute to the long-term success of fitness clubs but also contribute to improving the image of fitness sports in general.

Motivational Age Group Variations among Long-Term Male Clients of Health-Oriented Fitness Centres | Chapter 4 | Disease and Health: Research Developments Vol. 7

Over time, the public's perception of fitness sports has changed. Being physically fit these days is a sign of an active, health-conscious, and body-conscious way of living. Motivation is defined as the drive that influences behavior. In popular language, motivation is equated with goal-directed behavior and is, as such, easily understood. The current study provides a motivational framework for fostering enthusiasm among long-time fitness sports participants. These analyses examine whether the frequencies with which motives are mentioned depend significantly on the age of the men surveyed. Male members of a health-focused fitness club in a city were under suspicion. The questionnaire consists of 15 items that were combined into seven motivators. The questions were answered by the fitness centre. They may be taken home to be filled or they could be filled right in the club. Ultimately, 350 questions were prepared, 278 of which were answered. This leaves the response rate at 79.4%. Members who just train on devices are the ones being questioned. The distribution of the genders is almost equal, with a slight overhang (between 53%) of more male respondents. The sample consisted of N=147 male respondents. The average age of the respondents was 57.7 years with a spread around the mean of 12.8 years. The age distribution shows a clear concentration of middle-aged to very old respondents, while younger respondents are comparatively rarely represented. Among respondents with a membership of more than one year, the average length of membership is 10.9 years (spread: 6.8 years). Descriptive statistics were used to analyse the data. The results show demonstrably significant differences in 4 of the 17 significance tests. In detail, the following significant correlations between motives and age can be found, which are therefore not to be regarded as purely random effects of this specific sampling: a) People who mention the motive ‘Positive influence on physical complaints’ are older than people who do not mention this motive (mean values 61.0 years to 52.8 years), b) People who mention the motive ‘Balancing every day and professional stress’ are younger than people who do not mention this motive (mean values 52.7 years to 64.2 years), c) People who mention the motive ‘Continuous guidance and training control’ are older than people who do not mention this motive (mean values 63.4 years to 55.8 years) and people who mention the motive ‘Pleasant and relaxed training’ are older than people who do not mention this motive (mean values 58.9 years to 52.9 years). Of all the age differences, the difference in the motive ‘Balancing every day and professional stress’ is the most pronounced at 11.5 years. The second largest difference with a mean difference of 8.2 years is found in the motive ‘Positive influence on physical complaints’. In order to retain customers in the long term, it is important to find out their motivations thoroughly and seriously, to familiarise yourself with them and categorise them, and to make individual recommendations for action and fitness. Giving appropriate, individualised action and fitness guidance is also essential. Additionally, the knowledge gained helps fitness centres succeed in the long run. The insights gained also help to create the conditions for the long-term success of fitness clubs and to enhance the reputation of fitness sports as a whole.

Gamified E-learning in Programming Education: A Review of Research on Engagement and Learning | Chapter 22 | Innovative Solutions: A Systematic Approach towards Sustainable Future

Conventional learning methods often fall short in effectively engaging learners, hindering the development of critical programming skills in a world demanding a skilled workforce. The integration of gamification in programming education has garnered significant attention as a potential solution to enhance engagement, motivation, and academic performance among students. It transforms the learning environment by offering interactive experiences and by focusing on particular programming skills required. This review paper synthesizes findings from recent research studies on gamified coding e-learning platforms, analyzing various gamification strategies and their impacts on learning outcomes. Gamification elements like points, badges, and leader boards foster a competitive and engaging learning environment, empowering learners to master coding skills with enthusiasm. The analysis reveals that gamification can significantly improve students’ motivation and engagement, although its effectiveness varies depending on the specific context and design of the gamified elements. This paper concludes by discussing the implications of these findings for future research and the development of more effective gamified learning environments in programming education.

Inclusive Language, Pedagogy, and Motivation in Early Childhood Education| Chapter 9 | Current Research in Language, Literature and Education Vol. 5

We examine language usage in early childhood education settings, highlight the effects of non-inclusive language, and propose ways to improve the use of inclusive language in teaching and learning in this chapter. To gain rich meanings of non-inclusive language, we utilised a classic extract from an observation research as the basis for a creative content and textual analysis. Inclusive language is essential for developing inclusiveness, belonging, and worth in children. Inclusive language is used in early childhood education settings to clarify teaching and create realistic expectations for all children. Instructors' non-inclusive language, on the other hand, can be a disincentive, restricting how openly youngsters learn and cooperate with classmates and teachers in schools. The language used by instructors is examined in this study, and it is discovered that non-inclusive language can have a negative impact on children's learning, socialisation, emotional well-being, and motivation to learn. We observed that strong inclusiveness training and professional development programmes may assist teachers in gaining the knowledge and skills necessary to use inclusive language in the classroom, particularly as a pedagogical and motivating tool in early childhood education. Instead of employing non-inclusive language, the study suggests that instructors be made aware of the importance of inclusive language and its accompanying advantages for educating children. There are also some practical ramifications for utilising inclusive language.

Riding the Waves of Latent Herding Online Shopping Behaviour | Chapter 12 | Modern Perspectives in Economics, Business and Management Vol. 5

 The Internet has exploded in popularity in recent years, and many of its applications are now used by individuals all over the world. Online buying, a relatively new phenomenon in the field of electronic commerce (e-commerce), will undoubtedly be the way people shop in the future, especially during and after the coronavirus illness 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak. Online shopping appears to be one of the ways that clients shop nowadays, particularly among the younger generations and those who work. Because of its pervasiveness, the internet has become accessible to the majority of young working people, and many have begun to sell and purchase online. Despite the fact that internet shopping is now relatively prevalent, its growth in the Malaysian market is still lagging behind the worldwide industry. The potential rise of online shopping in Malaysia prompted the notion of conducting an exploratory research on the subject. A survey of 168 part-time students who work in the Klang Valley and also attend Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia was conducted (UKM). The goal of this research is to see how much they know about online purchasing and what factors influence their online shopping habits. Customer happiness, motivation, and influence from other purchasers are among the important reasons for customers to shop online, according to the findings of the study. Respondents have begun to shop online in the same way that other buyers have. The findings of the study could be used by scholars and practitioners to conduct future research in the same field.

Morale and Job Satisfaction Levels among Teachers in Tanzania: A Case of Selected Public Secondary Schools in the Northern Zone | Chapter 5 | Selected Topics in Humanities and Social Sciences Vol. 2

 A case study was conducted on the role of extrinsic factors (hygiene factors) and socio-demographic factors in determining morale and job satisfaction among teachers in Tanzanian public secondary schools. Biographical variables such as teachers' age, gender, marital status, and work experience were investigated to see if they had any effect on their level of morale and job satisfaction. Different human resource and management researchers have interpreted morale and job satisfaction differently. The study used a variety of data collection methods, including an interview guide, questionnaires, and a documentary review checklist. The study discovered that job satisfaction among teachers in public secondary schools in northern Tanzania was not uniform; socioeconomic and demographic factors played a significant role in varying morale and job satisfaction levels. As an example, Female teachers' job satisfaction was statistically significant (t(84) =2.62, p = 0.04), as was young teachers' (below 40 years) job satisfaction (t(84) = -2.22, p = 0.01). However, age and work experience had a significant impact on teachers' job satisfaction and dissatisfaction. The study concludes that socioeconomic and demographic factors have potential strength in designing and maintaining a job satisfaction model that accounts for morale and job satisfaction challenges among teachers in Tanzanian public secondary schools. The motivators and hygiene factors were found to have a significant impact on job satisfaction among teachers in Tanzania.

An Analytical Study on the Relationship be FDEtween Motivation and Language Learning Achievement among Tertiary Students | Chapter 7 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol.2

Motivation has been regarded as the driving force to learn a language. Aside from the notion that motivation is an influential facet to language learning, motivation can also be regarded as varied among learners’ gender, socio-economic status and perception towards the language learning task. The success or failure of language learners to use and further effectively acquire a language is said to be relative to the motivation they put in learning or studying a language. The present study makes use of an instrument to measure the motivational levels of the students (the said instrument is based on the initial questionnaire made by Noels, Pelletier, Clement & Vallerand [1]. To prove the reported motivation of the respondents, they were also tasked to judge the grammaticality of sentences in the second instrument. After the gathering of data and the subsequent analyses, it was found that motivation may not be greatly related to language learning success of the respondents.
