Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine and analyse the relationships and differences in the motivational climate, based on the competitive level in non-professional judokas. A sample of 121 non-professional Chilean judokas (70 men and 51 women) aged between 18 and 40, coming from seven different judo clubs took part. They completed a self-registration sheet of sociodemographic variables and a motivational climate questionnaire (PMCSQ-2). The results indicate that the task goal orientation prevails in non-professional judokas and as the level rises, in amateur athletes the ego goal orientation takes on greater importance. The main deduction is that amateur judokas distinguish in a greater proportion between personal improvement and effort (task goal orientation) and show a greater physical ability than others.This is opposed to what happens with non-professionals, where the correlation between both is lower, although still negative.
