Year 2024, Volume: 2 Issue: 1, 61 - 68
https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.11520805

Abstract

This study aims to examine the employment policies of the Ministry of Youth and Sports with a focus on the priority given to graduates of Sports Sciences, within the framework of the personnel recruitment announcement issued in 2023 and the dimensions of the Decree-Law No. 638 on the Organization of the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the National Youth and Sports Policy Document. This study was conducted using a qualitative research model and document analysis design. The research involved a thematic analysis of data obtained from academic journals, official reports, policy documents, and news sources, and a document analysis of the Ministry's announcement was performed and compared with the existing literature. According to the findings, the announcement for 1071 positions by the Ministry of Youth and Sports includes quotas for various fields ranging from technology and informatics to arts and communication, from theology to social sciences. This diversity indicates that the Ministry adopts a comprehensive approach to various youth-related fields. The number of quotas allocated for Sports Sciences graduates (208) indicates a significant employment opportunity in this field. However, compared to other fields, this quota is not very high, suggesting that the Ministry places greater emphasis on employment in other areas. According to the Ministry's personnel recruitment announcement, 208 out of a total of 1071 positions (approximately 19.4%) are allocated to Sports Sciences graduates. However, it is debatable to what extent this ratio aligns with the general duties and areas of activity of the Ministry.

Spor Bilimleri Mezunlarının İstihdam Problemi Üzerine Bir Analiz

Abstract

Bu çalışma, Gençlik ve Spor Bakanlığı'nın istihdam politikalarını 2023 yılında ilan ettiği personel alım ilanı çerçevesi ve Bakanlığın, “638 sayılı Gençlik ve Spor Bakanlığının Teşkilat” Kanun Hükmünde Kararnamenin ve “Ulusal Gençlik ve Spor Politikası Belgesi” boyutlarını ele alarak, Spor Bilimleri mezunlarının önceliği odağında incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu çalışma, nitel araştırma modeli ve doküman analizi deseni kullanılarak gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma kapsamında akademik dergiler, resmi raporlar, politika belgeleri ve haber kaynaklarından elde edilen veriler tematik bir yaklaşımla analiz edilerek Gençlik ve Spor Bakanlığı'nın ilanı doküman analizi yapılarak mevcut literatürle karşılaştırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Gençlik ve Spor Bakanlığının 1071 kişi için açtığı ilan, teknoloji ve bilişimden sanat ve iletişime, ilahiyattan, sosyal bilimlere kadar geniş bir yelpazede farklı uzmanlık alanlarına yönelik kontenjanlar içermektedir. Bu çeşitlilik, Bakanlığın gençlikle ilgili çeşitli alanlarda kapsamlı bir yaklaşım benimsediğini göstermektedir. Spor Bilimleri mezunları için ayrılan kontenjan sayısı (208), bu alanda ciddi bir istihdam fırsatı sunduğunu işaret ediyor. Ancak, bu kontenjan diğer alanlarla kıyaslandığında yüksek olmamakla birlikte, Bakanlığın diğer alanlardaki istihdama daha fazla önem verdiğini göstermektedir. Bakanlığın personel alım ilanına göre, toplam 1071 kişilik kontenjandan 208'i (yaklaşık %19.4) Spor Bilimleri mezunlarına ayrıldığı görülmektedir. Ancak, bu oranın Bakanlığın genel görev ve faaliyet alanlarına ne derece uygun olduğu tartışılabilir.
