Abstract. The study meant to examine the differences in goal orientation and perception of the motivational climate created by parents between handball players of different competitive levels, and the relationship between the motivational climate created by the parents and athletes' goal orientation. The sample consisted of female handball players (N=42), average age of 17.31 years, divided into two sub-samples: players who are not national team members (n=24) and national team members (n=18). The Goal Orientation Questionnaire (TESQ) and the Perceived Motivational Climate Questionnaire (PIMCQ-2) were administered. Players of both competition levels are more focused on learning than on achieving results, which complies with other researchers' findings. They believe that mothers create a Learning/Enjoyment Climate considerably more than fathers, while fathers create a Success Without Effort Climate to a greater degree. Only non-national team members perceive that their mothers to a greater degree emphasize the Learning/Enjoyment Climate and Worry-Conducive Climate while their fathers to a greater degree emphasize Worry-Conducive Climate and Success Without Effort Climate. The results confirm the theoretical assumption that the perceived motivational Learning/Enjoyment Climate created by the parents is a predictor of the learning-oriented goal. A climate focused on achieving results is not a predictor of the achievement-oriented goal, which has already been confirmed by various authors.
Key words: female handball players who are not national team members, female handball players who are national team members, goal orientation, perceived motivational climate

FOKUSIRANOST NA POSTIZANJE GOLOVA I PERCEPCIJA MOTIVACIJE RODITELJA NA PRIMERU RUKOMETAŠICA RAZLIČITIH TAKMIČARSKIH NIVOA
Istraživanje je sprovedeno sa namerom da se ispita da li između rukometašica različitog takmičarskog nivoa postoje razlike u ciljnoj usmerenosti i u percepciji motivacione klime koju kreiraju roditelji i da se ispitaju relacije između motivacione klime koju kreiraju roditelji i ciljne usmerenosti rukometašica. Uzorak čine rukometašice (N=42), prosečnog uzrasta 17,31 godina, grupisane dva poduzorka: nereprezentativke (n=24) i reprezentativke (n=18). Ispitanice su popunile Upitnik ciljne orijentacije (TESQ) i Upitnik opažene motivacione klime (PIMCQ-2). Rukometašice oba takmičarska nivoa snažnije su usmerene na učenje, nego na postizanje rezultata, što je saglasno sa dosadašnjim istraživanjima autora iz drugih sredina. One smatraju da majke u poređenju sa očevima u značajno većem stepenu kreiraju klimu učenja/uživanja, dok očevi u poređenju sa majkama u većem stepenu kreiraju klimu postizanja uspeha bez napora. Nereprezentativke u poređenju sa reprezentativkama opažaju da njihove majke u većem stepenu naglašavaju i klimu učenja/uživanja i klimu brige a da njihovi očevi u većem stepenu naglašavaju klimu brige i klimu postizanja uspeha bez napora. Rezultati ovog istraživanja potvrđuju teorijsku pretpostavku da opažena motivaciona klima učenja/uživanja koju kreiraju roditelji jeste prediktor cilja usmerenog na učenje. Klima usmerena na postizanje rezultata nije prediktor cilja usmerenog na rezultat, što ima potvrdu u nekim od dosadašnjih istraživanja.
Ključne reči: rukometašice nereprezentativke, rukometašice reprezentativke, ciljna usmerenost, opažena motivaciona klima
