Sports Management is one of the most important areas of the sport industry and covers many different areas. In any institution, manager/s involved in a private sector or public institutions may have difficulties making a right decision in favour of their institutions during a crisis. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship among crisis management, decision-making styles, and self-confidence skills in decision-making among sport managers. The sample of the study consists of 226 managers working as sports managers in central and provincial institutions of the general directorate of sport services in Turkey. This study was conducted through a comprehensive literature review on the relevant subject and designed in line with the general thoughts and opinions of the managers working at the managerial level. The study is a descriptive study conducted via a relational survey model. During data analysis, the results obtained from correlation and regression analyzes were given along with discussions and interpretations. The initial result indicated that sports managers have high self-confidence in decision-making. According to regression analysis, only the internal-self-confidence was found to be a significant predictor of the decision-making style.

Türkiye'de Spor Yöneticilerinde Kriz Yönetimi, Karar Verme ve Özgüven Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Spor Yönetimi, spor endüstrisinin en önemli alanlarından biridir ve birçok farklı alanı kapsar. Herhangi bir yerde herhangi bir kurumda, özel sektör veya kamu kurumlarında yer alan yönetici veya yöneticiler, kriz anında kurumları lehinde doğru bir karar vermekte zorlanabilirler. Bu araştırmada spor yöneticilerinin kriz yönetimi beceri düzeyleri, karar vermede öz-saygı düzeyleri, karar verme stilleri ve öz-güven düzeyleri arasındaki ilişkilerin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini Türkiye'de Spor Hizmetleri Genel Müdürlüğüne bağlı merkez ve taşra kurumlarında spor yöneticisi olarak görev yapan 226 yönetici oluşturmaktadır. Araştırma çalışmamız öncelikle konularımıza ilişkin kapsamlı literatür çalışmalarını içermiş, daha sonra yönetim kademesinde görev yapan yöneticilerin genel düşünce ve görüşleri doğrultusunda şekillenmiştir. Araştırma betimsel bir araştırma olup ilişkisel tarama modeli uygulanmıştır. Araştırma verilerinin analizinde korelasyon ve regrasyon analizleri yapılarak ulaşılan sonuçlar çalışmada verilmiş tartışma ve yorumları yapılmıştır. İlk sonucumuz spor yöneticilerinin karar vermede yüksek özgüvene sahip olduğunu gösterdi. Regresyon analizine göre sadece içsel özgüvenin karar verme stilinin anlamlı bir yordayıcısı olduğu bulunmuştur.
