Resumen

Introducción: Los factores psicológicos desempeñan un papel esencial en los deportes de equipo, especialmente en el voleibol, donde el rendimiento integra dimensiones técnicas, tácticas y psicológicas.

Objetivo: Este estudio evaluó el empoderamiento psicológico y la seguridad psicológica en jugadores masculinos de voleibol en Palestina, examinó la relación entre ambos constructos e identificó diferencias según variables seleccionadas.

Metodología: Se utilizó un diseño descriptivo correlacional de corte transversal. La muestra estuvo compuesta por 105 jugadores masculinos de clubes de la Liga Premier y la Primera División en Palestina, aproximadamente el 42% de la población del estudio. Se aplicaron dos escalas validadas tras su traducción y comprobación psicométrica.

Resultados: Los resultados mostraron un nivel muy alto de empoderamiento psicológico, con un peso relativo del 84,80%, y un nivel alto de seguridad psicológica, con un peso relativo del 79,60%. Se encontró una correlación positiva estadísticamente significativa entre ambos constructos (r = 0,60), y el empoderamiento psicológico explicó el 37,9% de la varianza en la seguridad psicológica. No hubo diferencias significativas en el empoderamiento psicológico según el nivel del club, pero sí según la experiencia deportiva, la cualificación académica, la participación internacional y el rol del jugador. Tampoco se observaron diferencias significativas en la seguridad psicológica.

Conclusión: El empoderamiento psicológico es un predictor importante de la seguridad psicológica entre los jugadores masculinos de voleibol en Palestina. Por ello, se recomienda adoptar estrategias basadas en el empoderamiento para mejorar el rendimiento y el bienestar.
