Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this study is to adapt Self-Awareness Scale (SAS) developed by Concon (2011) into Turkish with a view to investigating self-awareness levels of sports managers. Validity and reliability analysis of the scale has been conducted on a group of sports managers. The study group is formed of 133 sports managers. There are 104 male and 29 female participants who work as provincial directors, district directors, departmental directors and in other managerial positions (chief, youth center manager, etc.) in the Provincial and Districts Directorates of Youth Services and Sports which arethe provincial organizations of the Ministry of Youth and Sports. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses have been conducted to confirm the structural validity of the scale. The Cronbach Alpha reliability coefficients have been calculated in order to establish the reliability of the scale. Following the analyses, a scale composed of a total of 48 items and four factors have been obtained. Cronbach Alpha coefficients of the sub-scales have been found to range between .77 and .93. It has been concluded that the Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable tool that can be used in determining the self-awareness levels of sports managers.
