The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlations between sports managers' levels of crisis management and their leadership styles. Additionally, it was investigated whether managerial traits including age, gender, marital status, and length of employment affect the managers' leadership and crisis management capacities. The research's target population consists of in private and public organizations people managing sports in Istanbul in 2023. Among quantitative research techniques, the relational scanning model was used for this study. The scanning strategy in the relational scanning model tries to identify the presence of co-variation between two or more variables. The convenience sampling method was used to select 212 people from the identified universe who willingly agreed to take part in the study. An online data collecting instrument that included a personal information form, a self-leadership scale, and a crisis management scale was used to gather data for the study. On a computer, the collected data was examined using the statistical program SPSS 22.0. Correlation analysis was used to look at the connections between sports managers' leadership philosophies and how well they handle crises. The significance level for statistical procedures was set at 0.05. The study found that while sports managers' crisis management is at a moderate level, their leadership styles are displayed at a high level. Only two of the eight leadership attributes examined in the study were shown to have an effect on crisis management: setting self-reminders and focusing on intrinsic rewards p<0,05. It was shown that these dimensions increased crisis management by 51.3%.
