| Summary: | Introduction and Objective. This study aims to analyze sports coaching policies in South Papua as a new autonomous region (DOB), focusing on sports policy, athlete nurturing, facilities and infrastructure, institutional support, and athlete achievements.
Methodology. A mixed-methods approach was used, combining qualitative analysis using Voyant Tools and quantitative analysis using SmartPLS 4 based on PLS-SEM. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews developed from five main constructs. In the initial phase, convergent validity tests showed that many indicators were invalid, with external loadings <0.7 or even negative values. However, model refinement in the second stage resulted in significant improvements in validity and reliability, with all remaining indicators showing external loadings ≥0.7 and high AVEs.
Results. The analysis showed significant relationships between Sports Policy → Athlete Rearing, Athlete Rearing → Facilities and Infrastructure, and Facilities and Infrastructure → Institutional Support. In contrast, athlete performance did not exhibit significant relationships with other variables in the model, suggesting that athlete performance is likely influenced by external factors such as personal motivation or family support. Reliability tests showed adequate Cronbach's alpha and composite reliability values. The GoF value of 0.856 and Q² of 0.883 indicated a strong model fit.
Conclusions. In conclusion, the success of sports training in South Papua is strongly influenced by policies, athlete incubators, and mutually supportive infrastructure. However, to improve athlete performance, further exploration of factors beyond formal structural variables is needed. This research contributes significantly to the formulation of sports development policies contextualized in the new autonomous region of South Papua Province.
