Abstract :This study aims to examine the relationship between athlete value orientation and sportsmanship levels of elite judoka. A total of 181 elite judokas from Konya Metropolitan Municipality Sports Club, Seydişehir Sports Club, Selçuklu Judo Sports Club, Kahramanmaraş Sports Club, and Yenidoğan Youth Sports Club, competing in the categories of junior, juvenile and seniors, participated in the study. This study was conducted in a relational survey model. As a data collection tool, a personal information form prepared to obtain demographic information about the athletes was used in the first part. In the second part, the Athlete Value Orientation Scale developed and validated by Yıldız and Güven (21), and in the third part, the Sportsmanship Scale developed by Gümüş et al. (4) was used. SPSS 25 package program was used for data analysis. Since the data were normally distributed, t-test, ANOVA, and Tukey test were applied in case of significant results. Besides, correlation analysis was used to measure the relationship between the two scales. Significant differences were found in the value orientations of athletes in the variables of gender, age, educational background, sports age, and sports category. In the sportsmanship scale, significant differences were found in the variables of age, educational background, sports age, and sport category, while no significant difference was found in the gender variable. Athletes with higher educational background and older age have more sportsman behaviors and value orientations. A moderately positive (r=0.431) and significant (p<0.05) relationship was found between the Athlete Value Orientation Scale and Sportsmanship Scale.
