Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the psychological endurance of sports employees. For this purpose, the "Psychological Endurance Scale" for Adults developed by Friborg (2005) was applied to 151 sports employees working in Antalya, Muğla and Kutahya Youth Services and Sports Provincial Directorate. SPSS 23.0 statistical package program was used in the analysis of the data obtained from the study. In the evaluation of the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and Shapiro-Wilk normality tests were applied after the mean, standard deviation, frequency analysis. However, it was determined that the data were not normally distributed (p> 0.05). Mann-Whitney U Test, Kruskal-Wallis Test, Chi-square Test, Pearson correlation test statistic were used at a significant level (0,05) to determine the correlation and correlation among variables. As a result, there has been no significant difference between gender, age, educational status, title, the working duration in the institution, the duration of professional working, the level of income and psychological endurance of sports employees. However, there has been a significant difference between monthly wages and Social Resources from Sub-Dimension of Psychological Endurance Level of sports employees. It can be said that the highest score of sports employees whose monthly income is 3001 Turkish lira or more shows that they have more social resources than others. There is a weak negative correlation between the title and the Family compatibility from Sub-Dimension of Psychological Endurance Level of Sports Employees. There is a weak positive correlation between the duration of professional working and the Family compatibility from Sub-Dimension of Psychological Endurance Level of Sports Employees. While the duration of the professional working of sports employees increases, the family compatibility can increase accordingly.
