Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the role of coaches in the effectiveness of training. An in-depth review of the literature found some of the problems faced by the coaches were (1) training methods that attracted attention, (2) communication skills of the coaches, and (3) the attitude shown by the coaches can influence the personalities of the officer cadets. In this study, 278 questionnaires have been tested as an actual survey involving all three-level intakes of PALAPES UPNM using the analysis path of SmartPLS version 3.3.3 to test the direct effect and mediating model. The outcome of hypotheses testing showed that the element for the role of coaches is significantly correlated with training effectiveness and proves that it can predict the training force substantially. Analysis of the mediating model confirmed that training motivation partially mediates the relationship between training method, communication, and attitude with training effectiveness among Officer Cadets PALAPES UPNM. In conclusion, the role of coaches can influence the training motivation of the Officer Cadets and lead to training effectiveness.
