Abstract:

 This study explored the correlation between intellectual thinking disposition and leadership orientations in public sports managers. The sample consisted of a total of 200 sports managers 38 women and 162 men. Intellectual thinking disposition and multifaceted leadership orientations were assessed via established scales. Data analysis involved descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Examining the relationships within the model, we found moderate, positive, and statistically significant correlations between intellectual thinking disposition and overall leadership orientation. Intellectual affinity, a specific aspect of intellectual disposition, exerted positive and significant effects on both structural leadership β.262 and human-centered leadership β.246. Intellectual awareness had positive and significant effects on structural leadership β.254, human resource leadership β.249, political leadership β.229 and charismatic leadership β.414. Intellectual perseverance had significant positive effects on structural leadership β.244, human resource leadership β.215, political leadership β.362 and charismatic leadership β.233. In conclusion, while intellectual affinity only impacts structural and human resource leadership, both intellectual awareness and intellectual perseverance have a broader reach, significantly influencing all four leadership styles investigated: structural, human resource, political, and charismatic. This suggests that cultivating intellectual awareness and perseverance in sports managers could lead to a broader and more positive development of their leadership skills across various domains.

 Bu araştırmada entelektüel düşünme eğilimi ile liderlik yönelimleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya 38 kadın, 162 erkek olmak üzere toplamda 200 kamu spor yöneticisi katılmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin toplanmasında entelektüel düşünme eğilimi ve çok yönlü liderlik yönelimleri ölçekleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada betimleyici istatistiğin yanı sıra, korelasyon ve çoklu regresyon analizi yöntemlerine başvurulmuştur. Araştırma bulguları: İlişkisel model kapsamında entelektüel düşünme eğilimi ile çok yönlü liderlik yönelimi arasında genel anlamda orta düzeyli, anlamlı ve pozitif ilişkiler bulunduğu; entelektüel duygudaşlığın yapısal liderlik β.262 ve insan kaynaklı liderlik β.246 üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı etkileri bulunduğu; entelektüel farkındalığın yapısal liderlik β.254, insan kaynaklı liderlik β.249, politik liderlik β.229 ve karizmatik liderlik β.414 üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı etkilerinin bulunduğu; entelektüel azimin ise yapısal liderlik β.244, insan kaynaklı liderlik β.215, politik liderlik β.362 ve karizmatik liderlik β.233 üzerinde anlamlı bir şekilde pozitif etkileri bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; entelektüel duygudaşlığın, yalnızca yapısal liderlik ve insan kaynaklı liderlik üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı etkileri bulunmuşken; hem entelektüel farkındalığın hem de entelektüel azimin daha geniş bir etkileme gücüne sahip olduğu, yapısal liderlik, insan kaynaklı liderlik, politik liderlik ve karizmatik liderlik üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı etkileri bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulguları, spor yöneticilerinin entelektüel farkındalık ve entelektüel azim başta olmak üzere entelektüel duygudaşlıkları geliştikçe, liderlik yönelimlerinin daha olumlu bir şekilde gelişmesinin sağlanabileceğini düşündürmektedir.
