Namen raziskave je bil analizirati in finančno ovrednotiti delo košarkarskih trenerjev v Sloveniji ter ugotoviti dejavnike, ki vplivajo na višino plačila za njihovo delo. Podatki so bili pridobljeni z anketnim vprašalnikom. Izpolnilo ga je 179 trenerjev, ki vodijo igralce oziroma ekipe različnih starostnih kategorij. Izsledki so pokazali, da so trenerji starejših v povprečju statistično značilno bolje plačani kot trenerji mlajših starostnih kategorij, pri čemer plačilo ne raste linearno glede na starostno skupino. Poleg tega je bil ugotovljen pomemben vpliv strokovne usposobljenosti trenerja na njegovo plačilo, pa tudi, da finančne zmožnosti klubov niso neposredno povezane s tekmovalno ravnijo članske ekipe niti ne z oddaljenostjo kluba od Ljubljane ali velikostjo kraja, v katerem klub deluje. Dodaten čas, porabljen za pripravo, administracijo in sestanke, je bil v šibki pozitivni povezavi s plačilom trenerju. Povprečna mesečna bruto plača trenerjev, ki so sodelovali v raziskavi, je v sezoni 2024/25 znašala 1103 evre (± 887 evrov), povprečna urna postavka 25 evrov bruto (± 16,2 evra), ob upoštevanju porabljenega časa za dodatne aktivnosti pa le še 16,7 evra (± 10,1 evra). V primerjavi z drugimi strokovnimi delavci v športu v Sloveniji so košarkarski trenerji plačani manj, kar kaže na finančne in organizacijske omejitve dela v slovenskih košarkarskih klubih.

• Title: Analysis of the financial assessment of basketball coaches’ work in Slovenia

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to examine the remuneration of basketball coaches in Slovenia and to analyze the factors influencing its structure. Data were collected through a survey completed by 179 coaches. The results showed that coaches of older age categories are, on average, significantly better paid than those coaching younger teams. Furthermore, professional qualification proved to be an important determinant of salary, as higher qualification levels were associated with substantially higher earnings. The analysis of the competition level of senior teams revealed differences in pay; however, these were not consistent across successive league tiers, suggesting that club finances are not strictly dependent on league status. No significant differences were found regarding club location or settlement size. Time spent on additional off-court activities showed a weak positive correlation with pay. The average gross monthly salary of coaches in the sample amounted to EUR 1103 (± 887), while the average gross hourly wage was EUR 25 (± 16.2), dropping to EUR 16.7 (± 10.1) when additional activities were considered. The findings suggest that basket-ball coaches in Slovenia may earn less than other sports professionals, reflecting specific characteristics of club financing and work organization.
