Abstract

The research aimed to identify the level of perceived over-qualifications among volleyball players in clubs in the northern region of Iraq from their perspective, and their communicative abilities, with an explanation of the type and nature of the relationship between the perceived over-qualifications and communicative abilities. The researchers used the descriptive method in both its survey and correlational styles. The researchers defined the study population as volleyball players in the active clubs of the northern region's premier league and first division, totaling (27) clubs across four provinces: Kirkuk, Nineveh, Diyala, and Salahuddin. The researchers chose the entire study population as the main sample for the research, which they divided into sub-samples: (exploratory study sample, preparation sample, and final application sample), with (12-187-125) players respectively. To measure the research variables, the researchers developed two instruments. The first measures the perceived extra qualifications of volleyball players and consists of (14) items, while the second measures the communication abilities of volleyball players and contains (15) items. They utilized statistical methods (percentage, arithmetic mean, standard deviation, hypothesized mean, T-test, and Pearson's correlation coefficient) to analyze the data collected through these instruments. The researchers managed to derive results from the application of the two tools. They concluded that volleyball players active in clubs of the northern region of Iraq possess a low level of perceived extra qualifications. In contrast, the communication abilities among these volleyball players in the northern Iraqi clubs are of a high level. There is a significant inverse relationship between the perceived extra qualifications of the volleyball players and their communication abilities with team members, and this achieves one of the sustainable development goals of the United Nations in Iraq which is (Quality Education).
