The Effect of Cognitive Flexibility of Athletes on Person-Organization

Year 2017, Volume: 5 Issue: 3, 213 - 224, 30.09.2017

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effect of cognitive flexibility of athletes on
Person-Organization Fit. With this, it was aimed to determine the levels of cognitive
flexibility and Person-Organization Fit of athletes and to show their differences according to
their descriptive characteristics. This research was restricted to amateur soccer players and the
athletes who played in amateur football teams in Kilis, Niğde, Karaman and Konya. A total of
269 athletes were given a personal information form, a cognitive flexibility scale and a
Person-Organization Fit scale. It has been determined that cognitive flexibility in work is a
determinant of individual organizational alignment. When the cognitive flexibility subdimensions
are examined, it is determined that the ability to control can not be related to the
individual organization fit, and that the alternative solution making team influences the
individual's organization fit. Also in the study, cognitive flexibility and Person-Organization
Fit did not differ according to the descriptive characteristics of the athletes, and the result was
that the athletes were at similar level.
