In non-professional Taekwondoers, the relationship between goal orientation and Perceived Motivational Climate (r = - 0.431), ego orientation and Motivational Climate (r = - 0.322) and task orientation and motivational climate (r = - 0.356) were inverse and significant (P<0.05). Multivariate regression results showed that there was a significant effect on the prediction of Perceived Motivational Climate of professional taekwondo ego orientation ، sporting experience and age and in non-professional taekwondo goal-oriented and age (P<0.05).
