Perceptions of Leadership in Sports Management Feature and Skills Case Study: Manisa Celal Bayar University Sample

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 18 - 31, 30.06.2020

Abstract

Leadership plays a "key role" in terms of achieving success in an organization. When the literature is examined, it is expected that the logical direction contained in managers and the specifications like imagination and creativity contained in leaders need to come under the concept of "leader-manager". The study emphasizes that: being theoretical weighted and not being application oriented in a professional sense of the School Faculty of Sport Sciences Sports Management Department causes inadequate leadership skills and abilities of students and the deficiencies relating to this issue may be filled by giving "practical leadership training". From this point of view, the intention in this research is to present perceptions about leadership of the participants and determine the current situation. In the research, one of the qualitative research methods, case study methods, is used. In the research, mixed sampling method was used. The sample of the research is formed by five instructors who work in Manisa Celal Bayar University Faculty of Sport Sciences Sports Management Department, five graduates from the Sports Management Department and ten students who are still studying. An interview approach was used as a method of data collection and interviews were conducted using the interview form. Data analysis was evaluated by descriptive analysis. As a result of face to face interviews with participants, the participants’ perceptions of leadership have been demonstrated by thematizing with the findings related to the gain of leadership qualities and skills. Also, it is determined that the leadership qualities and skills and awareness of the participants are higher compared to the other departments of Faculty of Sport Sciences and studying in this department contributes to career development.

Spor Yönetiminde Liderlik Özellik ve Beceri Algıları: Manisa Celal Bayar Üniversitesi Örneği

Year 2020, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 18 - 31, 30.06.2020

Abstract

Liderlik örgütte başarının sağlanabilmesi açısından “anahtar görevi” görmektedir. Literatür incelendiğinde yöneticilerde bulunan mantıksal yönün liderlerde bulunan hayal ve yaratıcılık gibi özelliklerin “lider-yönetici” kavramı altında toplanması gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Araştırmada Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi Spor Yöneticiliği Bölümünde yer alan derslerin teorik ağırlıklı olup, mesleki anlamda uygulamaya dönük olmaması, öğrencilerin liderlik beceri ve özelliklerinin yetersiz kalmasına ve bu sorunlara ilişkin eksikliklerin öğrencilere “uygulamaya yönelik liderlik eğitimi”nin verilmesiyle kapatılabileceği vurgulanmıştır. Bu noktadan hareketle araştırmada katılımcıların liderlik ile ilgili algılarının ortaya konulup, mevcut durumun tespit edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmada; nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden durum çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada karma örneklem metodu kullanılmıştır. Örneklemi, Manisa Celal Bayar Universitesi Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi Spor Yöneticiliği Bölümü’nde görev yapan 5 öğretim elemanı, Spor Yöneticiliği Bölümü’nden mezun 5 kişi ve öğrenimine devam eden 10 öğrenci oluşturmaktadır. Veri toplama yöntemi olarak ise görüşme yaklaşımı kullanılmış ve görüşmeler, görüşme formu kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Veri analizleri betimsel analiz yöntemiyle değerlendirilmiştir. Katılımcılar ile yapılan yüz yüze görüşmeler sonucunda katılımcıların liderlik algıları, liderlik özellik ve becerilerinin kazandırılmasına ilişkin bulgular temalandırılarak ortaya konulmuştur. Ayrıca katılımcıların liderlik özellik ve becerilerinin Spor Bilimleri Fakültesi’nin diğer bölümlere göre farkındalıklarının yüksek olduğu ve bu bölümde eğitim almanın kariyer basamaklarına katkı sağladığına dair sonuçlar tespit edilmiştir.
