Evaluation of the Leisure Boredom Perception of Coaches from Different Sports Branches

Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the perceptions of leisure boredom of coaches working in different sports branches. The sample group of the study consists of 224 coaches, 173 men, and 51 women, actively working in different sports branches. In the study, in order to determine individuals' perceptions of leisure boredom, a method developed by Weissinger and Iso-Ahola, "Leisure Boredom Scale (LBS)," which was adapted to Turkish culture by Kara et al. (2014), was applied. When the internal consistency coefficients of the Leisure Boredom Scale were examined, it was determined that α = .721 for the boredom sub-dimension and α = 721 for the satisfaction sub-dimension. In order to compare the boredom perceptions of the participant group in terms of different variables, t-Test for Independent Samples and One-way ANOVA were applied. As a result of the analyses, no difference was detected in the coaches' perception of leisure boredom in terms of gender variable (p>.05). No significant difference was detected as a result of the single-factor analysis of variance performed, according to the coaching branch variable of the participant group (p>.05). However, when the results of the single-factor analysis of variance for the coaching experience variable were examined, it was seen that there was a significant difference in the "boredom" and "satisfaction" sub-dimensions according to the experience of the coaches (p<.05). Tukey test was performed to determine the source of significant difference. According to the results, it was determined that there were significant differences in the "boredom" sub-dimension between the coaching experience groups of 1-5 years and 6-10 years, 1-5 years and 11 years and over, and 6-10 years and 11 years and over. As a result, this study reveals that coaches' perception of boredom in leisure does not differ according to variables such as gender, age, educational status, and coaching branch. However, it was observed that the coaching experience variable had a significant effect on the "boredom" sub-dimension, and this effect was found to be associated with the difference between the duration of the coaching experience.
