Özet:

 This research was conducted to determine the power distance in sports organizations and the reflections of power distance on organizational silence. In the research, the phenomenology design from the qualitative research model was used. Purposive sampling method was used in the research. The study group of the research consisted of 14 amateur and professional trainers or athletes. A semi-structured interview form was used to determine the power distance in sports organizations and its reflections on organizational silence. Content and descriptive data analysis, which are frequently used in qualitative research methods, were used in the analysis of the data. It was determined that the majority of the participants participating in the research did not have good relations with people in the manager or coach position. It was determined that the people who stated that the communication was good were those who coached at the national team level. Some of the participants in the research stated that their opinions were taken during the decision-making process. If the decision maker has a more athletic background or because there are people who cannot be taken out of the team, various opinions have emerged, such as taking an opinion, acting according to the person manly or protecting, not being open to criticism, displaying a dictatorial attitude and making the final decision by themselves. When the results of the research are evaluated in general, it is seen that there is a high power distance in individual and team sports. It has been determined that power distance is used in sports organizations regardless of the branch of the sport, which league it is in, amateur or professional. However, it is also among the results that the power distance used causes organizational silence on the participants.

 Bu araştırma spor örgütlerindeki güç mesafesini ve güç mesafesinin örgütsel sessizliğe yansımalarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada nitel araştırma modelinden olgubilim fenemoloji deseni kullanılmıştır. Araştırmada amaçlı örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu amatör ve profesyonel olarak antrenörlük ya da sporcu olan 14 kişi oluşturmuştur. Spor örgütlerindeki güç mesafesini ve güç mesafesinin örgütsel sessizliğe yansımalarını belirlemek için yarı yapılandırılmış görüşme formu kullanılmıştır. Verilerin analizinde nitel araştırma yöntemlerinde çok sık kullanılan içerik ve betimsel veri analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya katılan katılımcıların büyük bir çoğunluğunun yönetici ya da antrenör pozisyonundaki kişilerle ilişkilerinin iyi olmadığı belirlenmiştir. Araştırmaya katılanlardan bazıları karar verme sürecinde fikrinin alındığını belirtmiştir. Karar verici kişinin sporcu geçmişi daha fazla ise veya takımdan çıkarılmasının göze alınamayacağı kişiler olduğu için fikir alındığını, kişiye göre tavır sergilendiğini adamcılık ya da kollamacılık, eleştiriye açık olunmaması, diktatör tavır sergilenmesi ve son kararı kendilerinin vermesi gibi çeşitli görüşler ortaya çıkmıştır. Yapılan araştırmanın sonuçları genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde bireysel ve takım sporlarında yüksek güç mesafesinin varlığının söz konusu olduğu görülmektedir. Güç mesafesinin sporun branşı, hangi ligde yer aldığı, amatör ya da profesyonel olması fark etmeksizin spor örgütlerinde kullanıldığı belirlenmiştir. Bununla birlikte, kullanılan güç mesafesinin katılımcılar üzerinde örgütsel sessizliğe yol açtığı da ortaya çıkan sonuçlar içerisindedir.
