Abstract— This study presents an analytical assessment of interest and motivation among Indian badminton officials using a structured Likert-scale questionnaire. A sample of 30 male officials, ranging from district to international levels, was evaluated on two psychological constructs—Interest (6 items) and Motivation (11 items). Descriptive and reliability analyses were conducted to assess distribution trends and internal consistency. The results revealed a high level of both interest (Mean = 24.20/30) and motivation (Mean = 45.10/55) among participants, with moderate variability and good internal reliability (Cronbach’s alpha = 0.74 and 0.79, respectively). Histograms for both constructs showed right-skewed distributions, indicating that the majority of officials are intrinsically engaged and driven. However, the presence of outliers at the lower end signals the need for tailored support mechanisms. These findings highlight the importance of integrating psychological dimensions into officiating policies, training, and mentorship programs to enhance officiating quality and retention. The study contributes to the limited literature on officiating psychology in India and supports the inclusion of interest and motivation metrics in future referee development models.
