Abstract:

 This study aims to examine the decision-making styles of team and individual sports coaches. 190 team 78 football, 42 basketball, 36 volleyball, 34 handball, and 108 individual sports 33 athletics, 27 wrestling, 17 tennis, 16 boxing, 15 swimming trainers participated in the study. The study used the decision-making styles scale as a data collection tool. The t-test was used to compare paired groups, and the ANOVA test was used to compare more than two groups. Tukeys multiple comparison test was used to determine the difference between groups. As a result of the study, it was determined that team sports coaches in the Rational thinking sub-dimension and individual sports coaches in the intuitive decision-making sub-dimension have statistically higher scores p0.001. According to the working year variable, those ten years or older have a higher score in rational decision-making, and those between 1-5 years have statistically higher scores in intuitive, dependent, and avoidance decision-making styles compared to other years p0.01. While those aged 36 years and over in the rational and spontaneous decision sub-dimension were higher than the other age groups, those aged 18-25 in the intuitive and avoidance sub-dimension were higher than the other age groups. According to the studys results, the coaches decision-making styles may differ. The sports branch made based on this differentiation is effective, and the decision-making styles of the coaches may differ according to the working year. Experience is likely effective in the decision-making styles of coaches who are older and work years.

 Bu çalışmanın amacı takım ve bireysel spor antrenörlerinin karar verme stillerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışmaya 190 Takım 78 futbol, 42 basketbol, 36 voleybol, 34 hentbol, 108 bireysel spor 33 atletizm, 27 güreş, 17 tenis, 16 boks, 15 yüzme antrenörü katılmıştır. Çalışmada veri toplama aracı olarak karar verme stilleri ölçeği kullanılmıştır. İkili grupların karşılaştırılmasında t testi, ikiden fazla grup karşılaştırılmasında ANOVA testi yapılmıştır. Gruplar arası farklılığın tespiti için Tukey çoklu karşılaştırma testi yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda Rasyonel düşünce alt boyutunda takım spor antrenörleri, sezgisel karar verme alt boyutunda bireysel spor antrenörlerinin istatistiki olarak daha yüksek puana sahip oldukları tespit edilmiştir p0,001. Çalışma yılı değişkenine göre 10 yıl ve üzeri olanlar rasyonel karar verme, 1-5 yıl arası olanlar sezgisel, bağımlı, kaçınma karar verme stillerinde diğer yıllara göre istatistiki olarak daha yüksek puana sahiptir p0,01. Rasyonel ve kendiliğinden karar verme alt boyutunda 36 yaş ve üzeri olanlar diğer yaşlardan daha yüksek bulunurken, sezgisel ve kaçınma alt boyutunda 18-25 yaş arası olanlar diğer yaş gruplarından yüksek bulunmuştur. Yapılan çalışma sonucuna göre antrenörlerin karar verme stillerinin farklılaşabileceği ifade edilebilir. Bu farklılaşmanın temelinde yapılan spor branşının etkili olduğu, antrenörlerin karar verme stillerinin çalışma yılına göre farklılaşabileceği söylenebilir. Çalışma yılı ile yaşı yüksek olan antrenörlerin karar verme stilleri üzerinde tecrübenin etkili olduğu ifade edilebilir.
