In addition, significant differences in terms of demographic variables were examined in positive deviation behaviors and organizational commitment in athletes. A total of 183 active licensed athletes who were selected randomly among volunteers participated in the study voluntarily. Positive deviation behavior scale and organizational commitment scale were used as data collection tool. The demographic information about the athletes was obtained by a personal information form consisting of 6 questions. In this study, Pearson correlation analysis was used to define the relationship between positive deviance behavior and sense of organizational commitment in athletes. And, T test analysis in two groups and nova test analysis in more than two groups were used in order to determine significant differences in terms of demographic variables in positive deviance behaviors and organizational commitment in athletes. According to the results of the study, a positive correlation was found between the positive deviance behavior and the feelings of organizational commitment in athletes. In addition, the results of the study indicate that individual athletes have higher positive deviance behavior than team athletes.
