Abstract:
Motivation is nowadays a key factor for success in both professional and social contexts. Trust, effectiveness and creativity can support individual and organizational performance if based on regularly practiced sport and physical education. The present paper explores the role of motivation for humans and organizations engaged in diverse sport settings, considering that they represent entities facing numerous challenges. In what way can we then think of internal and external motivation as contributing to the role of sport and physical education? Are recent studies bringing new evidence in this direction when compared to well-established theories? Or do we note significant changes in the last couple of years? This paper mainly looks at examples extracted from European practice, while presenting a few differences specific to other cultural backgrounds.
