Abstract:

 


Aim: The purpose of this research was to examine the
perceived level of organizational democracy for the staff working in the
different statuses and positions in Provincial Directorates of Youth Services
and Sports in Turkey. Material and Method: The study was carried out using the
quantitative research method, which is frequently used in social sciences. In
this process, the scanning pattern was utilized. The survey technique was used
to collect data from the study group. The universe of the research was the
entire personnel working in the Provincial Directorates of Youth Services and
Sports, which is the provincial organization of the Turkish sports
administration in 81 provinces. The sample group consists of 920 individuals
selected using the simple random sampling method. In the analysis process,
primarily, descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, standard
deviation values) were used. Subsequently, the nonparametric test techniques
(Mann Whitney U and Kruskal Wallis) were used. Findings: The perception of
organizational democracy in the Provincial Directorates of Youth Services and
Sports may be evaluated as above the average (high). When the scores related to
the factors constituting this level of democracy perception are examined, it is
understood that the personnel of Youth Services and Sports Provincial
Directorates find participation-criticism environments in their institutions at
the most democratic level while the accountability environment is found to be
at the least democratic level. There were statistically significant differences
between the factors of participation-criticism, transparency, justice, equity, and accountability, according to the
demographic characteristics of the personnel. Results: The perception of
organizational democracy has been found to be above the average (high) in the
Provincial Directorates of Youth Services and Sports. It has been determined
that the level of organizational democracy is highest for personnel who work in
the South-eastern Anatolia Region and for the personnel who have PhD degree.
