Abstract
Bu çalışmanın amacı, spor federasyonlarında yönetsel görevler alan gönüllülerin, gönüllüğe katılım nedenlerive kazanımlarını tespit etmektir.Araştırma verileri, spor federasyonlarında çeşitli yönetim kademelerinde görev alangönüllülerle yapılan yarı-yapılandırılmış görüşmeler yoluyla toplanmıştır. Yarı yapılandırılmış formlar dokümananalizleri ışığında şekillendirilmiş ve toplam sekiz sorudan oluşturulmuştur. Çalışma grubunun belirlenmesi içinörneklem seçiminde zincir örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmış ve toplam 22 görüşme gerçekleştirilmiştir. Görüşmelerfederasyonların başkanları, yönetim kurulları ve diğer kurul üyeleri ile yapılmıştır. Elde edilen metinler üzerinde üçayrı araştırmacı tarafından içerik analizi yapılmış, analiz sonucu tespit edilen kategorilerin önceden belirlenenkategorilerle uyumluluğu incelenmiş ve bulgular, kavramsal çerçeve dikkate alınarak betimsel olarakyorumlanmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre gönüllülerin katılım nedenleri 1-Kariyer geliştirme, 2-Spor sevgisi, 3Katkıda bulunmak, 4- Boş zaman değerlendirme isteği ve 5-Sosyal sorumluluğun yerine getirilmesi olarak tespitedilmiştir. Gönüllülerin aldıkları görevlere ilişkin kazanımları ise üç boyutta incelenmiştir. Buna göre gönüllülerinbireysel kazanımları, kariyer edinmek, üst düzey kişilerle görüşme fırsatı, mutluluk ve manevi huzur, yardımlaşma,tecrübe ve öğrenme, kişisel gelişim gibi çeşitli kategorilerde toplanmıştır. Gönüllülerin sosyal kazanımları, seyahatetme, çevre edinme, sosyal saygınlık, yeni arkadaş edinme ve sosyal ilişkiler kurma gibi konularda şekillenmiştir.Örgütsel anlamda bakıldığında ise kazanımlar, örgütler arası iletişim, örgüte katkı sağlama ve spor sistemine katkısağlama biçiminde ön plana çıkmıştır. Sonuç olarak, federasyonlarda görev alan gönüllülerin katılım nedenleriylekazanımları arasında olumlu ilişkiler tespit edilmiş ve bulgular Ciddi Boş Zaman teorisine paralellik göstermiştir.Türkiye’de gönüllülük anlayışının geliştirilmesi ve spor sisteminde gönüllülerin katkılarının zenginleştirilmesiningereği düşünüldüğünde bu çalışmanın sonuçlarının dikkate alınması gerektiği söylenebilir

The Reasons for and the Benefits of Participation of the Volunteers in Turkish Sport Federations: An Evaluation Related to Serious Leisure Theory
Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the participation reasons and the benefits of volunteering in sport federations in Turkey.
The data is collected through the semi-structured interviews with the volunteers that have a task in the various managerial levels of the sport federations. The semi-structured forms are developed after document analyses and consisted of 8 questions. Snowball sampling method is used to designate the working group and overall 22 interviews are done. Three researchers made content analyses separately on the interviews. The categories are determined after the analyses and the findings are presented descriptively.
According to the findings, the reasons of participation to volunteering are 1- to develop carrier, 2- love of sport, 3- the need to be helpful, 4- the will to fill the leisure time and 5- to fulfill the social responsibility. The benefits of the volunteers are examined in three dimensions. First, the individual benefits are consisted with the categories as, happiness and inner peace, experience and information, self-expression and creativity and helping others. Social benefits are assigned as making a circle of friends, social prestige, and social interactions. The organizational benefits are defined as the communication between the organizations, the contribution to the organization and the contribution to the system of sport.
Consequently, the findings supported the Serious Leisure Theory and indicated that there are favorable relations between the participation reasons and the benefits of volunteering in sport federations.
