The aim of present investigation was to develop the behavioural instrument for measuring the
achievement motivation in sport matches. According to 5-stage behavioural measurement system,
the instrument was established and was applied for Iran national soccer team among three
matches. The results have revealed the good validity, intra-rater, and inter-rater reliabilities for
measuring motivational behaviours in sport contexts. In addition, the repeated measure analysis of
variance has shown the applicability of new instrument for studying the association of
achievement behaviours with successful performance, through significant differences between
achievement behaviours in different matches with varied outcomes (p<.05).It seems the developed
instrument is applicable for coaches to discriminate achievement behaviours of players during the
match and select their strategy and players’ substitutions according to their trends and behaviours
for success
