Abstract :The objective in this study is to analyse the leadership power perceptions based on the personality characteristics of karate-do athletes. The population of the research consists of licensed, national athletes above 18 (A-B-C) under Turkish Karate Federation and the samples are made of 149 athletes selected via random sampling. The research has been limited to the scale of leadership power perception, the scale of personal characteristics as well as the questions regarding the demographic characteristics and the athletes at the age of 18 and above. In the study, the Scale of Leadership Power in Sports-Other (SLGÖ-D: Athlete Form), adapted by Konter (2008) from Wann, Metcalf, Brewer and Whiteside (2000) and the Personality Test Based on Attributes (SDKT), developed by Bacanlı, İlhan and Aslan (2009) have been used as a means of data collection. The data has been analysed by SPSS package program and correlation analysis have been performed. When we examine correlation analysis based on gender, in terms of female aspect, there is an avoidant relationship between emotional instability and referent power (r:-,422 p<.050).
