Spor Etkinlikleri Kalite Ölçeği (SEKÖ) Geliştirme ve Doğrulama Çalışması

Öz

Bu araştırmada, futbol taraftar ya da seyircilerinin etkinlik kalitesine yönelik algılarını belirleyen geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracının geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın katılımcılarının belirlenmesinde amaçlı örneklem yöntemlerinden ölçüt örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu kapsamda araştırmada yer alacak katılımcılarda, 2021-2022 sezonunda Süper Lig’de yer alan takımlardan herhangi birini takip etme ve 2021-2022 sezonunda bu takımın stadyumunda en az iki kez maç izlemiş olma ölçütleri aranmıştır. Bu ölçütler doğrultusunda araştırmada toplam 599 gönüllü katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Bu katılımcılardan elde edilen verilerin, 361 tanesi Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA), 238 tanesi Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) için kullanılmıştır. AFA bulguları, madde faktör yük değerleri .46 ila .96 aralığında olan 10 faktörlü bir yapı ortaya çıkarmıştır. DFA sonucuna ise modelin RMSEA değerinin .063 ve diğer uyum iyiliği indekslerinin de kabul edilebilir değerler arasında bulunduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Cronbach Alfa katsayılarının .821 ile .933 aralığında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu bulgular ölçeğin 10 boyutlu yapısı altında toplanan 42 maddeden oluştuğunu ve bu yapının etkinlik kalitesi değişkeninin %73.23 gibi önemli bir varyansını açıkladığını ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak, Spor Etkinlikleri Kalite Ölçeği'nin (SEKÖ) Türk kültürü için geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.

Sports Events Quality Scale (SEQS): A Development and Validation Study

Abstract

The aim of this research was, to develop a valid and reliable tool that intended to measure the perceptions of football fans or spectators, related with the quality of sports events. Participants of the study was determined by criterion sampling, that is one of the purposeful sampling methods. Our first criteria for participants of this research was, to follow one of the Super League team in 2021-2022 season, and our second criteria was, to attend the this teams’ events twice in the stadiums, as a spectator on the same season. Totally 599 volunteer participants were involved in this study. Data from 361 participants were used for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and data from 238 participants were used for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Findings of EFA were demonstrated a structure with 10 factors, and factor loads of items in these factors were between .46 and .96. And CFA results displayed that the RMSEA value of the model was .063, and other goodness-of-fit indexes were among acceptable values. Also coefficients of Cronbach's Alpha were observed between .821 and .933. These findings revealed that the scale consisted of 42 items, under its 10-dimensional structure and the sports events quality variable of this structure explained a significant variance of 73.23%. These findings revealed that the scale consisted of 42 items, under its 10-dimensional structure and the event quality variable of this structure explained a significant variance of 73.23%. In conclusion, it can be accepted that Sport Event Quality Scale (SEQS) is a valid and reliable measurement tool for Turkish culture.
