Abstract
The purpose of this study is
to determine the job satisfaction levels of coaches working with special
athletes. In this context, the
working group, consists of 50 coaches working with special athletes in
Turkey.In order to collect the data of the study, personal information form
consisting of 6 questions and the short form of the Minnesota Job Satisfaction
Scale (MSQ) consisting of 20 questions were used. In analyzing the data,
frequency and percentage distributions were examined in order to see the
personal variables of the coaches. The Kolmogorov-Simirnow Z Test which is one
of the normality tests was applied to determine the statistical analysis on the
data. In the analysis of the data, since the normal distribution condition was
provided, the Independent Samples T-test was used for pairwise comparisons and
the One-Way Variance Analysis (ANOVA) test was used for multiple comparisons.
The statistical procedures applied to the data obtained as a result of the
research were analyzed by using SPSS (Statistical Package
for the Social Sciences)
for Windows 23.0 package program. Significance level was taken as 0.05 in statistical
operations. As a result, it was observed that the job satisfaction levels of
the coaches working with the special athletes did not differ according to their
gender, marital status, age, vocational seniority, educational status, and
having disabled relatives. However, in order to generalize these results, it is
suggested that different studies involving more coaches should be carried out
by the researchers.
