ABSTRACT

Motivation is one of the most important variables in the training process and competition, especially in tennis sports. There are two bases of achievement motivations in athletes: intrinsic and extrinsic. Tennis athletes at a competitive level have a high achievement motivation, both for female and male athletes. This motivational comparison between female and male athletes has been made in competitive sports. However, it is necessary to conduct an empirical investigation of this in competitive tennis motivation. At which level is this motivation? Is it the same between male and female athletes? Therefore, this study analyzes competitive motivation in tennis athletes by comparing male and female athletes. This study used a survey as research. The research instrument used the Achievement Motivation Scale for the Sports Environment (AMSSE). Data collection used a form with a scale of 1-4. Points: a. always (4 points); b. often (3 points); c. Sometimes (2 points); d. never (1 point). The research subjects in this study were team sports athletes and individual sports, with a total of 81 athletes. The Normality Test was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS). Levene's test is used to test the homogeneity of variance. Data analysis in this study used One-Way ANOVA. The results of this study show that the difference between males and females showed a p-value of 0.743. It can be said that these results showed that there is no difference in achievement motivation for male and female athletes. However, based on the mean value, it indicates a difference between the average value of males and females, namely competitive Tennis athlete for male Mean = 49.36, while for female Mean = 48.60. The result of this study shows that male athletes are more motivated to reach achievement than female athletes, but it shows a not so significant difference level.
