Resumo

Este estudo investiga o nível de conscientização jurídica entre jogadores profissionais de futebol na Jordânia em relação aos seus direitos e obrigações nos contratos profissionais. A pesquisa foca em quatro domínios principais: conhecimento dos direitos contratuais, conhecimento sobre rescisão de contrato e resolução de disputas, consciência sobre representação legal e percepção da justiça contratual. Um questionário composto por quatro domínios e quinze itens foi desenvolvido com base na literatura relevante e validado por um painel de especialistas. Os dados foram coletados de 120 jogadores, e análises estatísticas, incluindo estatísticas descritivas, ANOVA unidirecional e testes t independentes, foram realizadas para examinar diferenças na conscientização jurídica com base nos anos de experiência profissional e na experiência profissional anterior no exterior. Os resultados indicam uma conscientização jurídica geralmente baixa em todos os domínios, com maior percepção entre jogadores mais experientes e aqueles que jogaram profissionalmente fora da Jordânia. Esses resultados destacam a necessidade de programas de educação jurídica direcionados e apoio institucional para aprimorar o conhecimento dos jogadores sobre direitos contratuais e mecanismos de proteção. O estudo fornece recomendações práticas para jogadores, clubes e órgãos reguladores a fim de melhorar a alfabetização jurídica e proteger os interesses dos atletas.
