Abstract
In the dynamic world of sports, understanding the intricate relationship between achievement motivation and performance is crucial for fostering athletes’ growth and success. This study delves into the realm of judo athletes in Baguio City, Philippines, aiming to unravel the nuanced connections between achievement motivation, gender differences, and belt divisions. This study adopts a descriptive-correlational research design to investigate the nuanced relationship between achievement motivation and performance among judo athletes in Baguio City, Philippines. The research focuses on 80 judo athletes across prominent institutions in Baguio City, including Saint Louis University, the University of the Cordilleras, the University of Baguio, and the Young Men’s Christian Association. Utilizing a meticulously crafted survey form, the study explores the achievement motivation levels of athletes, incorporating expert opinions and pilot-testing to ensure validity and reliability. Statistical analyses, including t-tests, ANOVA, and Pearson’s r, are applied to scrutinize the hypotheses. The findings of the study reveal significant distinctions in achievement motivation levels among judo athletes based on their belt divisions. Moreover, male judo athletes demonstrate a substantial performance advantage over their female counterparts, particularly in terms of competition outcomes. Additionally, a noteworthy gender-based difference is identified in the medal tally, indicating a distinct performance pattern between male and female judo athletes. The study introduces a novel perspective by specifically examining gender-based differences in achievement motivation and performance in judo. The incorporation of belt divisions as a factor influencing motivation levels adds granularity to existing literature. These findings provide valuable insights into the intricate dynamics of achievement motivation and performance, shedding light on the impact of both gender and belt divisions within the context of judo in Baguio City, Philippines.
