Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to evaluate the personality profiles of Olympic sports coaches in Turkey within the framework of the Five-Factor Personality Model, and to investigate differences based on gender, national team coaching and coaching grade. A cross-sectional survey method is used as a research design. A stratified sampling procedure was applied, and coaches (nfemale=178; nmale=609) from 23 Olympic sports branches in 10 cities in Turkey voluntarily participated. The mean age of participants was 34.78+8.84. The data collection instruments were the PERI (Personality Inventory), which was used to assess the personality traits of participants; demographic variables were also gathered. The results of the research indicated that Olympic sports branch coaches have the emotional balance personality trait at “not effective or low” levels, the extraversion and openness to experience personality traits at “partially effective or circumstantial” levels and the compatibility and sense of responsibility personality traits at “effective or high” levels. There was no significant difference found between coaching grade and personality traits. Differences in personality traits in terms of coaching duties on the national team were found for compatibility and sense of responsibility, in favor of national team coaches.
