Abstract:
The aim of the study is to compare the life satisfaction levels of basketball coaches in terms of their seniorities in basketball. The target population of the study was created by coaches working as Class A, B, C, D and E while the sample of the study was selected by 176 coaches who voluntarily agreed to participate in the study. The Life Satisfaction Questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Portable IBM SPSS Statistics v20 software package was used in terms of analysis of data obtained. "The Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test" was applied in order to decide whether data has normal distribution and "ANOVA-Homogeneity of variance" was applied to test the homogeneity of variances and it is observed that data is homogeneous and has a normal distribution. After the earlier analysis, it was decided to use parametric test methods for statistical analysis. The descriptive statistics and one-way variance analysis were applied in data analysis. As a result of the study, it was found that the life satisfaction level of Class D coaches is higher than life satisfaction levels of Class A, B and C coaches.
