Analysing the self-efficacy levels of coaches of different branches

Abstract

Aim: This paper aims to analyse the self-efficacies of coaches of different branches.

Methods: This study, which was conducted by using coach self-efficacy scale, reached totally 192 volunteering coaches who lived in canakkale and Balikesir. The data collected were then analysed on the SPSS programme. The kurtosis and skewness values were examined so as to check the distribution of the data, and consequently, the data were found to have normal distribution.

Results: As a result, statistically significant differences were found between the coaches aged 28-32 and coaches aged 33-37 in their levels of self-efficacy in general and in the sub-factor of efficacy in impersonating. Accordingly, the coaches who were in 28-32 age group had higher self-efficacy and efficacy in impersonating than the ones who were in 33-37 age group. On the other hand, there were no statistically significant differences between the participants' levels of self-efficacy according to gender, branch and professional experience.

Conclusion: The coaches in the 28-32 age group were found to have higher self-efficacy and efficacy in impersonating than the coaches in the 33-37 age group on examining the results obtained. No differences were found between the participants in the other factors.
