Abstract
The aim of the study was to investigate the emotional intelligence levels of people working in sports organizations regarding different variables, such as gender, marital status and sports activities. A total of 272 (159 male, 113 female) participants working in sports organizations participated in the study voluntarily. The Emotional Intelligence Trait-Short Form (EQ-SF) scale was used as a data collection tool. SPSS 23 program was used for data analysis. The suitability of the data to normal distribution was examined with kurtosis and skewness values. The t test was used for comparisons between independent groups. The significance level was determined as p<.05. According to the data obtained, men's self-control, sociability sub-dimensions and total emotional intelligence scores were found to be significantly higher than women. Similarly, self-control, sociability sub-dimensions and total emotional intelligence scores of individuals who do sports were found to be significantly higher. However, in the comparison made according to marital status, no significant difference was found between emotional intelligence levels. As a result, it can be said that men working in sports organizations have higher levels of self-control, sociability and total emotional intelligence than women, and individuals who do sports have higher levels of self-control, sociability and total emotional intelligence than those who do not do sports.
