Aim of this study was to examine martial arts athletes’ relationships with their coaches and the perceived leadership styles of their coaches in terms of gender, age and duration of their participation in martial arts. The sample consisted of 132 male, 72 female and 204 in total martial arts participants. Data were collected by simple random sampling method. Perception of Leadership Behavior part of Leadership Scale for Sports LSS developed by Chelladurai and Saleh 1980 8, and Coach-Athlete Relationship Questionnaire CARTQ developed by Jowett and Ntoumanis 2004 23 were employed as data collection tools. ANOVA findings depicted that male, older than 18 years old and experienced athletes perceived more autocratic behavior of their coaches than female, 17 and younger, and less experienced athletes. In addition, less experienced athletes perceived more positive feedback than experienced athletes. In Coach–Athlete Relationship Questionnaire, only significant difference was detected in age. Younger athletes felt their coaches closer to them than older counterparts. In conclusion; age, gender, and participation duration are determinants of differences in perceiving coaches’ leadership. This information can benefit sports psychologists or coaches on identifying and instructing their groups effectively

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, mücadele sporlarına katılan bireylerin antrenörleriyle ilişkilerini ve sporcuların antrenörlerinden algıladıkları liderlik tarzını cinsiyet, yaş ve mücadele sporuna katılım süresi değişkenlerine göre incelemektir. Araştırma grubu, 132 erkek, 72 kadın toplam 204 mücadele sporuna katılan bireyden oluşmaktadır. Basit rastele örnekleme yöntemiyle veri toplanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, Chelladurai ve Saleh 1980 8 tarafından geliştirilen Spor için Liderlik Ölçeği’nin Sporcunun Lider Davranışını Algılaması Formu ve Jowett ve Ntoumanis 2004 23 tarafından geliştirilen Antrenör - Sporcu İlişkileri Envanteri kullanılmıştır. Veri analizinde tanımlayıcı istatistikler ve tek yönlü varyans analizi ANOVA kullanılmıştır. ANOVA bulgularına göre erkek sporcular, 18 yaşından büyük sporcular ve daha deneyimli sporcuların antrenörlerinden daha fazla otoriter davranış algıladığı saptanmıştır. Ayrıca daha az deneyimli sporcular daha fazla pozitif geri bildirim algılamaktadırlar. Antrenör-sporcu ilişkileri envanterinde, sadece yaşa göre anlamlı fark bulunmuştur. Daha genç sporcular antrenörlerinden daha fazla yakınlık algılamaktadırlar. Sonuç olarak, yaş, cinsiyet ve katılım süresi değişkenleri antrenörün liderliğini algılamada belirleyicidir. Bu bulgu antrenörlerin veya spor psikologlarının gruplarını daha etkin olarak tanımalarında ve yönlendirmelerinde fayda sağlayabilir.
