Investigation of Job Satisfaction Levels of Tennis Coaches Who Work in Higher Education Institutions According to Personal Variables

Abstract

According to some personal variables, this study examines tennis coaches’ job satisfaction levels in higher education institutions. A total of 50 tennis coaches, 16 women (32%), and 34 men (68%) took part in the study. The coaches included in the study are examined in three categories as 26 years and younger (34%), 27-29 years old (34%), 30 years old and above (32%). Two forms were used as tools for data collection. The first one of these forms is a 6-question form created by the researcher to determine tennis coaches’ characteristics. The second one is the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale developed by Weiss et al. in 1967 and translated into Turkish by Baycan in 1985. Baycan also conducted the validity and reliability studies of the scale in 1985. The analysis of the data was done in SPSS 26.0 statistics package program. Percentage and frequency distributions were examined in the statistical analysis of the data, independent sample t-test was performed to evaluate the differences between two groups, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was made to determine the difference between more than two groups, and Scheffe test was performed to determine which groups the difference was between. p significance level was accepted as 0.05 (p < 0.05). As a result, there was no statistically significant difference in job satisfaction levels of tennis coaches according to gender, education level, coaching level, and work experience (p > 0.05), while there was a directly proportional relationship between the age variable and job satisfaction levels (p < 0.05).

The Relationship between Organizational Commitment and Job Satisfaction

“…Studies on job satisfaction performed to determine whether the level of job satisfaction varied by gender. In this context, in the study by Koç and Yazıcıoğlu (2011), Doğan and Akandere (2019), Dumangöz (2021), which examined the relationship in job satisfaction, it was determined that the job satisfaction levels of individuals according to the gender variable did not differ. When the organizational commitment levels of females and males were examined, a significant difference was found in the "Continuance Commitment" sub-dimension.…”

“…It was determined that there was a statistically significant difference between the job satisfaction levels of individuals according to their welfare status. In other words, it was determined that there was a significant ISSN 2377-22632021 difference in both internal and external satisfaction levels according to the welfare of the participants.…”

“…Moreover, it was found that individuals with low well-being had higher levels of satisfaction in both internal and external satisfaction levels according to the high well-being of the participants (p < 0.05). ISSN 2377-22632021 In Table 5, the results of ANOVA analysis regarding the scale scores according to the educational status of the participants were given. According to the analysis results, it was determined that there was a statistically significant difference in all sub-dimensions of the organizational commitment scale of the participants (p < 0.05).…”

“…Ayrıca işe yönelik tutumun ana unsurlarından olan iş tatmininin, performansın önemli bir faktörü olduğu belirlenmiştir (Judge vd., 2001). İş görenin iş tatmini, performansını belirler; ayrıca performansın iniş ve çıkışlarını etkiler ve daha sonra organizasyonun hedeflerine ulaşıp ulaşılmadığını saptar (Dumangöz, 2021). Özellikler son yıllarda gerçekleştirilmiş bazı araştırmalarda performansla ilgili bir diğer önemli etkenin ise örgütsel bağlılığın olduğu tespit edilmiştir.…”

“…Bu bağlamda öğretmen performansı, öğretmenlerin eğitim ve öğretime ilişkin bilgi, beceri ve motivasyonlarını bütünleştirerek okullarda gösterdikleri örgütsel davranış olarak tanımlanmaktadır (Özdemir, 2014). İşlerini en iyi şekilde yapabilmeleri için her meslek grubunda olduğu gibi öğretmenlerin de işleri ile ilgili hislerinin olumlu olması, performanslarını artıracak ve üretken olmalarını sağlayacaktır (Dumangöz, 2021).…”
