Self-Efficacy Among Fencing Coaches in Sports Clubs in Baghdad Governorate
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aims to assess the level of self-efficacy among fencing coaches in Baghdad sports clubs by constructing a scientifically validated scale tailored to the psychological and professional dimensions of sports coaching. The researcher employed a descriptive correlational method and applied the scale to a sample of 30 coaches from five clubs: Police, Army, Electricity, Communications, and Dijla University. The final scale consisted of 21 items across three domains: training planning, situation management, and psychological interaction. Results revealed that all coaches exhibited a self-efficacy level above the hypothetical mean, with statistically significant differences attributed to club type and organizational environment. The researcher recommends implementing professional development programs to enhance self-efficacy and adopting the scale as an evaluation tool within sports institutions.
