IDO MOVEMENT FOR CULTURE

Background. Choosing to become a sports coach, as well as the selection of suitable coaching staff in sports organizations in Serbia, still does not have a proper and adequate set of sysytems. Sports activities as developed in the modern world are systems which take place within a particular organization. Every sports club represents a very complex, dynamic and open system of management that consists of various sub-systems. Its training program is the basis (the core) of its sports system, and sports coaches are the central pivot of its functioning. They are therefore the basic human resource of a sports organization.
Method. The research conducted on a sample of 114 combat sports coaches, participants in an educational course for operating sports coaches, had as its aim to evaluate some aspects of satisfaction for the coaching profession, as well as to determine the metric characteristics of the specifically- constructed questionnaire – Satisfaction with Coaching as a Vocation Scale (SCV).
Results. The results indicate that in general, coaches demonstrate positive aspects of satisfaction with their work in the sports clubs where they are employed, and the applied SCV scale has good internal consistency, as indicated by the 0. 917 coefficient alpha. Factor analysis also indicated an adequate validity of satisfaction with coaching occupation scale (KMO = 0.646 Sig= 0.000), and the analysis of the main components resulted in a three-factorial structure in a latent field of satisfaction.
Conclusion. Taking into consideration the presence of three isolated factors – 1) material compensation and recognition, 2) human resources and 3) organizational culture, – this questionnaire can be applied within the latent structure of satisfaction, as a unique scale that, in the space available, results in an average value (scalar means) calculated from the grades that the questioned coaches give to the individual aspects of satisfaction with the coaching profession.
