The federation provincial representatives of 4 team sports (Football, Basketball, Volleyball, Handball) and 4 individual sports (bicycle, scouting, wrestling, tennis) who worked in Turkey / Sakarya province and Turkey / Bartın province participated in the study using qualitative research method. A semi-structured interview form, which is the data collection tool of the research in the conceptual framework, was established. A voice recorder was used to prevent data loss during negotiations. The data were analyzed using descriptive analysis and content analysis.

According to findings, it may be considered that the provincial representatives can improve their business productivity by eliminating their managerial problems.
