There are many definitions of narcissism. In
terms of common points of definitions, it is
possible to define narcissism as appreciation at
the higher level that people feel towards
themselves. The purpose of the study was to
reveal the positive and negative effects of the
concept of narcissism in sports organizations.
In this research, methodological qualitative
method called "descriptive", "field scanning",
documentary or "documentary work" has been
used. The concept of narcissism has been
examined in the historical process and
evaluated in the context of sports. There are
many successful sports people in sports
organizations who work in any position and
show narcissism behaviors. In the literature, it
has been determined that the occurrence of
narcissism is generally investigated with
negative effects, but positive effects of the
occurrence of narcissism in sports
organizations are more likely to be benefited
from these positive effects than other
organizations. As a result, it has been stated
that the existence of controllable narcissism in
the sports environment has an effect on giving
some opportunities, especially taking advantage
of the positive effects that can bring about
narcissism in the sports environment where
self-confidence can be regarded as an
important skill.
