Abstract This study investigated the perception of situational factors and their influence on the performance of track and field athletes. Employing a quantitative research design, data were collected from a sample of 142 athletes (80 male, 62 female) aged 12 to 25 years, comprising 10 international, 99 national, and 33 state-level competitors. A combination of self-developed and standardized questionnaires was used for data collection. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS Version 20.0 (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL), involving percentages and chi-square analysis to assess the influence of situational factors. Hypotheses were tested at a significance level of p < .05. The findings revealed that situational factors significantly affect track and field athletes' performance. Furthermore, a significant gender-based difference was observed in performance specifically concerning athletes' responses to coach's leadership, with male and female athletes showing distinct patterns. However, no significant gender differences were found for other situational factors examined. Interestingly, the study found no significant differences in the perception and effects of situational factors on performance across international, national, and state-level athletes. These results underscore the critical role of situational dynamics in athletic performance and highlight specific areas for targeted intervention.
