motivational climate

Motivational climate refers to the environment created by coaches, teachers, or leaders that influences how individuals feel about their abilities and effort. It shapes whether success is seen as a result of personal improvement and effort (a mastery or task-oriented climate) or mainly based on winning and being better than others (a performance or ego-oriented climate). A positive motivational climate encourages persistence, learning, and enjoyment, while a negative one can lead to stress or discouragement. The way this climate is set up impacts motivation, confidence, and overall engagement in activities.
