EXAMINATION OF LEVELS OF EXPOSURE TO (INTIMIDATING) MOBBING BEHAVIORS OF BASKETBALL REFEREES

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the intimidation behaviors of basketball referees in working environments in terms of some variables. The sample of the research is the general screening model; 70 randomly selected arbitrators form a simple coincidence method from the universe. Sports Mobbing Scale for Hall Sports Referees data were used as a data collection tool in the study. The appropriateness of the scale variables to normal distribution was determined by using Kolmogorov Smirnov test. The results showed that the variables did not follow a normal distribution, and Mann-Whitney U Test and Krusukal-Wallis H test were used in our study. As a result of the research, it was determined that basketball referees expressed their sense of intimidation in their working environment. What the basketball referees feel in their work environment can be interpreted as an indication of an attack against the professional experience of the daunting activities. According to the research data, it is seen that intimidating actions are felt at close levels in gender, marital status, education and age variables.
