Motivation is a major component of management and one of the most frequently discussed topics in literature. The issue of the psychological training of athletes as part of the training is of great interest, especially nowadays that the sporting results are extremely high. In tackling this topic, we started from the assumption that motivation is the process governing the choices made by each athlete to achieve sporting performances. This study studied the identifying of the main motivational factors that make athletes perform high-performance sport, with regard to athletes from for sports clubs ACS-U BancaTransilvania and CS Universitatea, both from Cluj-Napoca. The purpose of the research was based on a questionnaire, applied in the middle of the 2018-2019 competitive season, on a sample of 35 subjects, on 12 December 2018, having the opportunity to analyze the reasons for practicing basketball, completed with a comparison and hierarchy of the reasons for practicing basketball among athletes involved in a junior league and athletes participating in a superior league. Our study has shown that athletes who do not practice performance sports in the National League, i.e. the components of the ACS U-BT Cluj-Napoca team, are mainly motivated extrinsic by the need for status acknowledgement, while among athletes from CS Universitatea the hierarchy of reasons for basketball participation is different, with an emphasis on intrinsic motivation - or orientation towards task in achieving the goal.
Keywords: management, extrinsic motivation, intrinsic motivation, sports performance, basketball.
