Ethical Climate in Sport Teams
Journal Title: Choregia - Year 2009, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The purpose of this study has been the research of the relationship between goals performance and development on the one hand and the ethical climate prevailing in non-profit amateur teams. One hundred and seven subjects (N = 117 males and N = 25 females), all members of several sports teams, have answered whether the goal of their team is the performance or the development of the sport on a 5-point scale. Moreover, they have filled in the Ethical Climate Questionnaire (ECQ; Victor and Cullen, 1987, 1988). The five dimensions extracted by Agarwal and Malloy (1999) in the not-profit context were used for this study. The results have shown that a “caring climate†is predominant in the teams, while they aim at their development as well. A negative effect for performance goal on the dimensions individual caring and independence, and a positive effect of development goal on the dimension individual caring were also evident.
