Abstract

Spor ortamında takım kaptanı resmi lider konumundadır. Haliyle kaptan lider konumunda olduğu için kaptandan önemli roller oynaması beklenmektedir. Literatürde kaptanın liderlik rolleri detaylı şekilde araştırılmıştır. Fakat profesyonel futbol branşında kaptanlığı doğrudan etkileyen faktörler hakkında yeterli sayıda araştırmanın olmadığı gözlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda kaptanlığı doğrudan etkileyen faktörler nelerdir? Bu amaç çerçevesinde yapılan araştırmada profesyonel futbol branşında 8 erkek takım kaptanı ile bireysel görüşme yapılmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma yöntemlerinden fenomenolojik desen kullanılmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu aracılığıyla veriler toplanmıştır. Verilerin analizinde ise içerik analizi tekniği uygulanmıştır. Analizler sonucunda takım kaptanı haricinde; kulüp yönetimi, teknik ekip, futbolcular, medya, şehir ve taraftar faktörünün kaptanlığı doğrudan etkileyen faktörler olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Becerilere sahip olma, liderlikle ilişkili özellikler, karakter, kişilik ve olumlu davranışların ise takım kaptanıyla ilgili olarak kaptanlığı doğrudan etkileyen faktörler olduğu belirlenmiştir. Kaptanlığın bir süreç olduğu ve bu süreci etkileyen birçok faktörün olduğu söylenebilir. Sonuç olarak daha iyi bir kaptanlıkta hem sporcunun kendi öğrenim ve gelişimine yönelik faktörler hem de sporcu dışındaki faktörlerin dikkate alınması gerekmektedir.

PERCEPTIONS AND EXPERIENCES REGARDING THE FACTORS DIRECTLY AFFECTING CAPTAINCY ACCORDING TO THE TEAM CAPTAIN IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL

Abstract

In a sports environment, the team captain is the official leader. Naturally, because the captain is the leader, the captain is expected to play an important role. The leadership roles of captains have been investigated in detail in the literature. However, it has been observed that there is not enough number research on the factors that directly affect captaincy in professional football. In this context, what factors directly affect captaincy? In the research conducted for this purpose, individual interviews were conducted with 8 male team captains in professional football. A phenomenological design, a qualitative research method, was used in this study. Data were collected through a semi-structured interview form. A content analysis technique was used to analyze the data. From the analysis, it was determined that club management, technical team, footballers, media, city and fans were the factors directly affecting captaincy, except for the team captain. Having skills, leadership-related characteristics, character, personality, and positive behaviors directly affected the captaincy in relation to the team captain. Captaincy is a process that is affected by many factors. As a result, both factors related to the athlete's own learning and development and factors outside the athlete should be taken into consideration for better captaincy.
