Investigation of Psycho-Social Variables Affecting the Professional Life of Persons after the Coaching Education
Full text linkThe aim of this research is to examine the effects of the coaches’ emotional labor behavior on emotional burnout and turnover intention. The research group consists of 201 coaches actively working in various sports centers in Ankara province. Personal information form consisting of demographic questions, “Emotional Labor Scale”, “Burnout Scale” and “Turnover Intention Scale” were used as data collection tools. In the research, after the normality test; Spearman Correlation and Multiple Regression analysis were performed on the data. The demographic information of the group participating in the study is given as a percentage table. According to the findings, as the knowledge and skill of the coach increases, emotional burnout, surface acting and turnover intention show decrease. At the same time, the increase of Professional success of the coaches causes emotional burnout, desensitization, surface acting and the turnover intention. It has been observed that the role of coaches, whose professional achievements have increased, has increased natural acting levels, but it has been determined that the role of deep acting has no effect on the turnover intention. As a conclusion, it was observed that burnout and turnover intention may decrease as the level of knowledge and skill increases in coaches. In addition, it was determined that surface acting behavior was not preferred by experienced coaches and mostly natural emotions were used
Online purchase behavior of sports consumers: the effect of eWOM and celebrity endorsements
Full text linkPurposeThe aim of this research is to measure the impact of eWOM (electronic word of mouth) and brand celebrity use on the purchasing behavior of sports consumers.Design/methodology/approachTo test the model hypotheses, sports consumers who use social media and have purchased at least one online sports product were selected as the research group. Online survey method was used, and 836 participants were reached. The model was tested with structural equation modeling (SEM) through smart PLS software.FindingsAs a result, the quality, credibility and usefulness of the information consumers encounter on online platforms cause them to adopt information about products or services, and then exhibit online purchase behavior. While the attractiveness and trustworthiness of celebrities are seen as important factors affecting consumers' online purchase of sports products, the effect of celebrity expertise was found to be ineffective in this study.Practical implicationsMarketers can develop more effective eWOM strategies by considering consumers' expectations. Businesses that want to implement an effective marketing strategy may prefer celebrities in product promotions or advertisements of their brands.Originality/valueThis research revealed the effect of eWOM and celebrity endorsement on the online purchase behavior of sports consumers in terms of the sports industry. Unlike previous studies, this study examined these variables together on sports consumers and contributed to the development of models
The Effect of Sports Science Students’ Social Media Addictions on Redundant Purchasing Behavior
Full text linkThe aim of this research is to determine the causes of redundant purchasing behavior of university students and the effects of social media usage on redundant purchasing behavior. Quantitative research method is used in the research and relational screening model is preferred. "Social media addiction" and "sustainable consumption behavior scale" were used in the research. The research group consists of 221 men and 181 women in total, 402 students who studying at Ankara University Faculty of Sport Sciences. In the research, the pre-control of the data was provided and the distribution of normality was examined primarily. From the parametric tests to the data that appear to provide normal distribution; t-Test, One-Way Anova and Correlation tests were applied. According to the findings, it was found that women had a high redundant purchase behavior compared to men. It has been determined that the use of credit cards increases redundant purchases in students and affects daily life. It was observed that unrestrained shopping perception is high among students who are not licensed athletes. As the high income students' redundant purchasing behavior is high, as the time spent on social media increases, social media addiction and redundant purchasing behavior also increase. As a conclusion, it is observed that consumption behaviors are closely related to social media addiction and sustainable consumption behaviors. The suggestions of the findings obtained were tried to be given in the research, including future research
Why do athletes consume luxury brands? A study on motivations and values from the lens of theory of prestige consumption
Full text linkPurposeAlthough extant literature exists on luxury consumption, limited studies have focused on motivation and values to consume luxury brands among athletes. The study aims to uncover the motivations that guide athletes' decision-making processes to consume luxury brands.Design/methodology/approachThe study utilized the theory of prestige consumption to develop a model. The model posits that bandwagon, snob and veblen motivations guide athletes to seek social and conspicuous values in their consumption of luxury brands. A survey-based questionnaire approach was used to collect data from 343 athletes from Turkey by considering brands from different product categories.FindingsFindings indicated that bandwagon and veblen motivations are associated with social and conspicuous values. The findings also suggested that bandwagon, snob and veblen motivation are positively associated with luxury consumption intentions. Also, the social and conspicuous values of athletes determine their intentions to consume luxury. The mediating effects of social and conspicuous values are also confirmed.Originality/valueThe study's findings are first to empirically examine the influence of motivations on social and conspicuous value among athletes. The results show that the luxury consumption motivations of the athletes have a strong role in their intention to purchase luxury products. The findings also offer novel managerial implications
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
