THE EFFECT ON JOB SATISFACTION OF EXECUTIVE SUPPORT PERCEPTION OF COACHES IN TURKEY

This study aims to determine the effect of coaches' perception of executive support on job satisfaction. A relational screening model was used in the study for this purpose. Disproportionate sampling was used within the scope of the study, and 516 coaches working in various provinces of Turkey composed a sample of the study. The scale of executive support developed by Karasek et.al (1985) and adapted by Kula (2011) and the scale of job satisfaction made by Bilir and Keser (2019) was used in the collection of data. Pearson Correlation analysis was used to reveal the relationship between scores from scales, Linear Regression analysis was used to determine whether the scores obtained affected each other. Error level in the study was taken as p<0.01. It has been determined that there is a positive and meaningful relationship between the executive support levels of coaches in Turkey and the levels of job satisfaction. It can be said that as the level of executive support increases, the levels of job satisfaction increase. According to linear regression analysis, it was determined that the level of executive support positively affected the job satisfaction levels of coaches. It was observed that the executives' support scores of coaches in Turkey were higher than average with an average of 3.53 and job satisfaction scores were high with an average of 4.08 in our study.
