Rozhodčí v synchronizovaném plavání v České republice a jejich motivace ke zvyšování kvalifikace

Objectives: The aim of this thesis is to find out what motivational factors could lead the Czech synchronized swimming judges to improve their qualifications. Based on the analysis and evaluation of questionnaires, this thesis assumes that it will answer the question of what motivational factors would drive the Czech synchronized swimming judges to improve their qualifications. Methods: The data were analyzed using basic statistical operations. Results: The need of their home clubs was the main motivating factor of the judges to obtain the current judging qualification. In addition, the motivational factors for judges who themselves want to further improve their qualifications, are diverse across individual categories of judges. However, a common factor for all judges is personal growth. 50 % of all respondents cited this reason as the key motivational factor for improving their qualifications. The motivational factors to change their opinion when judges are reluctant to improve their qualifications, are also very diverse. III class judges would need more free time to consider upgrading their qualifications. II class judges would be motivated to gain higher qualifications mainly due to two factors, namely better performance of competitors in home clubs and in the Czech Republic and financial support to gain FINA G qualification.
