目的：探索華人教練與選手人際關係的內涵。方法：以半結構式問卷訪談10位教練和10位選手，所有的教練與選手皆具有全國性比賽冠軍以上之成就，教練的平均年齡為40.3（SD = 7.7）歲，選手平均年齡21.3（SD = 3.5）歲。結果：經過內容分析及歸納發現，華人教練選手關係內涵分別為工具性關係：以此關係作為獲得其他目標的一種工具或手段；禮數性人情：受外在客觀體制規範應遵從之認知或行為；義務性人情：強調內在認同的角色義務與責任之認知或行為；自發情感情：因長期互動，彼此自發產生一種滿足在關愛、溫情、安全感與歸屬感等之情感。討論：華人教練選手關係可區分為工具性關係、禮數性人情、義務性人情及自發性感情四個向度；工具性關係及禮數性人情是華人社會特有的人際關係特色，義務性人情及自發性感情則與西方教練選手關係之內涵相似。結果並與華人人際關係理論、家長式領導及西方教練選手關係理論進行比較討論，且提出未來研究的建議。

The purpose of this study was to explore the quality of Chinese coach-athlete relationship. A semi-structured questionnaire were employed to interview 10 coaches and 10 players. All the coaches (with the average age 40;3, SD = 7.7) and the players (with the average age 21;3, SD = 3.5) had achievements beyond the level of national championship. The resulted of the content analysis and summary revealed that the quality of coach-athlete relationship exhibited instrumental relationship (a tool or a means to obtain other goals), mannerly worldly wisdom (external objective institutional norms to be followed in the cognitive or behavior), obligatory worldly wisdom (emphasis on intrinsic identity role obligations and responsibilities of the cognitive or behavior), and spontaneous affection (long-term interaction with each other spontaneously emotional kind of satisfaction in caring, warmth, a sense of security and a sense of belonging). Instrumental relationship and mannerly worldly wisdom are unique natures of interpersonal relationships in the Chinese community while the quality of obligatory worldly wisdom and spontaneous affection are similar to that of the Western coaches and athletes relationship. Results were discussed in terms of the theories of Chinese interpersonal relationship, paternalistic leadership and the theories of Western coach-athlete relationship, with the directions for further studies suggested.
