Abstract
The aim of this study was to determine whether there were any significant differences between the measured problem-solving skills of volunteers participating in the 17th Mediterranean Games between the time they were first recruited and after the organisational trainings they received. The study sample consisted of 2597 volunteer workers deemed suitable to participate in the games. The problem-solving skills of the participating volunteers were determined using the “Problem-Solving Inventory” developed by P.P. Heppner and C.H. Peterson. Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was determined as 0.88 (20). Data analysis was performed using statistics software. Based on our study results, we determined no statistically significant difference between the first assessment performed before the training and the second assessment performed after the training, while a statistically significant difference (0.05) was found between the first assessment and the third assessment performed after the special organisational training
