Professional ethics behavior and self-efficacy of female coaches

This study aimed to examine the relationship between female coaches' self-efficacy and professional ethics behavior and compare them according to years of coaching experience, age, and branch. The sample consisted of 202 female volunteer coaches who participated in training seminars held in 2021-2022. The mean age of the participants was 33.82 +/- 8.831 years. The 'Coaches' Professional Ethics Behavior Scale' and the 'A Coaching Self-Efficacy Scale' were administered to the participants. According to the Shapiro-Wilk test results and the skewness and kurtosis values, the sample had a normal distribution. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, means, standard deviation, medians, quartiles, and percentages. The findings suggested a highly positive and significant relationship between the coaches' self-efficacy and their professional ethics behaviors, and they had high average scores on self-efficacy and professional ethics behaviors scales.
