Abstract

The study was conducted to examine the relationship between the perceived leadership styles of wrestling coaches and their organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and quality of life levels. For this purpose, individuals who actively work as wrestling coaches in Istanbul were included in the study. 5 different forms were used to collect data in the study. These are; Personal Information Form, Multifactor Leadership Scale, Organizational Commitment Scale, Job Satisfaction Scale, and Quality of Life Scale. SPSS (26th Version) was used in the analysis process of this study, which was conducted in the relational screening model. Pearson correlation and regression analyses were used in the tests. According to the results of the study; It was determined that there was a relationship between the perceived leadership styles of wrestling coaches and their organizational commitment, job satisfaction, and quality of life levels.
