Resumo

Introdução: Os fatores psicológicos desempenham um papel essencial nos desportos coletivos, especialmente no voleibol, onde o desempenho integra dimensões técnicas, táticas e psicológicas.

Objectivo: Este estudo avaliou o empoderamento psicológico e a segurança psicológica em jogadores de voleibol do sexo masculino na Palestina, examinou a relação entre estes dois constructos e identificou diferenças com base em variáveis ​​selecionadas.

Metodologia: Foi utilizado um desenho transversal, correlacional e descritivo. A amostra foi constituída por 105 jogadores do sexo masculino de clubes da Premier League e da Primeira Divisão da Palestina, representando aproximadamente 42% da população estudada. Foram aplicadas duas escalas validadas após tradução e testes psicométricos.

Resultados: Os resultados mostraram um nível de empowerment psicológico muito elevado, com um peso relativo de 84,80%, e um nível de segurança psicológica elevado, com um peso relativo de 79,60%. Foi encontrada uma correlação positiva estatisticamente significativa entre os dois constructos (r = 0,60), e o empowerment psicológico explicou 37,9% da variância na segurança psicológica. Não foram encontradas diferenças significativas no empoderamento psicológico de acordo com o nível do clube, mas houve diferenças de acordo com a experiência desportiva, as qualificações académicas, a participação internacional e a função do jogador. Também não foram observadas diferenças significativas na segurança psicológica.

Conclusão: O empowerment psicológico é um importante preditor da segurança psicológica entre os jogadores de voleibol masculino na Palestina. Assim, recomenda-se a adoção de estratégias baseadas no empoderamento para melhorar o desempenho e o bem-estar.
