Abstract:
Motivation is an internal energy force that determines all aspects of our behaviour;
it also impacts on how we think, feel and interact with others. In sport, high
motivation is widely accepted as an essential prerequisite in getting athletes to
fulfil their potential. However, given its inherently abstract nature, it is a force that
is often difficult to exploit fully. The aim of this study was to investigate the
significant differences among individual and team game players, on the variable
achievement motivation and self-esteem. Total 100 players were selected for the
study and all players belonged to Maharashtra state. 50 individual game players
and 50 team game players aged between 18-24 years were purposively selected for
this study. Tools: Deo Mohan Achievement Scale was developed and standardized
by Pratibha Deo & Asha Mohan (1985) and self-esteem inventory was developed
and standardized by Thakur. Hypotheses: There will be no significant difference
between difference individual and team game players dimension on achievement
motivation; There will be no significant difference between difference individual
and team game players dimension on self-esteem. It was conclusion that
individual game players have significantly high achievement motivation and high
self-esteem than the team game players.
