The purpose of the study is to determine the dispositional goal orientations and perceived motivational climate of wrestlers, to reveal the relationship between goal orientation and motivational climate, and to compare these structures according to national/international status. The research was designed in descriptive and associational research model. A total of 106 wrestlers participated in the study voluntarily. The “Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire” and the “Perceived Motivational Climate in Sport Questionnaire” were used as data collection tools. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics techniques were employed in the analysis of the data obtained. Results showed that the wrestlers were task-oriented regarding goal orientation, and they perceived the motivational climate based on mastery climate. Besides, significant relationships were found between goal orientation and perceived motivational climate. The strongest relationship was observed between ego orientation and performance climate, and between task orientation and mastery climate. In addition, while the performance climate is a significant predictor of ego orientation, mastery climate is a significant predictor of task orientation. Furthermore, goal orientation dispositions and perceived motivational climates did not differ significantly with regard to national/international status. In conclusion, perception of motivational climate may affect the differentiation of dispositional goal orientation, and motivation can be better understood by the process and achievement context rather than situational factors.
