This study investigated the relationships between job pressure, occupational burnout, organizational support and coping strategies among competitive sports coaches in Sichuan Province, China. It also assesses the impact of job pressure on occupational burnout and the mediating roles of organizational support and coping strategies.
A survey was conducted with 207 competitive sports coaches from Sichuan Province, China. Basic information and data on job pressure, occupational burnout, organizational support and coping strategies were collected. Correlations between variables were analyzed, and a theoretical model for hypothesizing the mediating effects was established. A multiple regression model was used to predict the relationships between occupational burnout and job pressure, organizational support and coping strategies.
(1) Job pressure was significantly positively correlated with occupational burnout ( = 0.436, < 0.001) and negative coping ( = 0.389, < 0.001) but significantly negatively correlated with organizational support ( = -0.503, < 0.001). Occupational burnout was significantly negatively correlated with academic title ( = -0.158, = 0.023) and organizational support ( = -0.349, < 0.001) but significantly positively correlated with negative coping ( = 0.440, < 0.001). Organisational support was significantly positively correlated with positive coping ( = 0.222, = 0.001) but significantly negatively correlated with negative coping ( = -0.207, = 0.003). (2) Mediating effects: Job pressure indirectly affects occupational burnout via organizational support and negative coping strategies. (3) Multiple regression: Y (Job Pressure) = 69.262 + 1.172 × Emotional Exhaustion -2.231 × Emotional Support +1.041 × Negative Coping -6.554 × Academic Title (from high to low). Y (Occupational Burnout) = 25.609 + 0.141 × Job Pressure - 0.306 × Organisational Support +0.620 × Negative Coping -2.097 × Academic Title.
Job pressure is a significant factor leading to occupational burnout among competitive sports coaches in Sichuan Province, China, and factors such as role, interpersonal relationships and career development are closely related to occupational burnout. The sense of organizational support and negative coping strategies play a mediating role between job pressure and occupational burnout. Reducing emotional exhaustion and negative coping, enhancing emotional support and improving the academic titles of coaches can help to reduce job pressure and occupational burnout among competitive sports coaches in Sichuan Province.
本研究调查了中国四川省竞技体育教练的工作压力、职业倦怠、组织支持与应对策略之间的关系。同时评估工作压力对职业倦怠的影响以及组织支持和应对策略的中介作用。
对来自中国四川省的207名竞技体育教练进行了调查。收集了关于工作压力、职业倦怠、组织支持和应对策略的基本信息与数据。分析了变量之间的相关性，并建立了用于假设中介效应的理论模型。使用多元回归模型预测职业倦怠与工作压力、组织支持和应对策略之间的关系。
（1）工作压力与职业倦怠（r = 0.436，p < 0.001）和消极应对（r = 0.389，p < 0.001）显著正相关，但与组织支持显著负相关（r = -0.503，p < 0.001）。职业倦怠与职称（r = -0.158，p = 0.023）和组织支持（r = -0.349，p < 0.001）显著负相关，但与消极应对显著正相关（r = 0.440，p < 0.001）。组织支持与积极应对显著正相关（r = 0.222，p = 0.001），但与消极应对显著负相关（r = -0.207，p = 0.003）。（2）中介效应：工作压力通过组织支持和消极应对策略间接影响职业倦怠。（3）多元回归：Y（工作压力）= 69.262 + 1.172×情感耗竭 - 2.231×情感支持 + 1.041×消极应对 - 6.554×职称（从高到低）。Y（职业倦怠）= 25.609 + 0.141×工作压力 - 0.306×组织支持 + 0.620×消极应对 - 2.097×职称。
工作压力是导致中国四川省竞技体育教练职业倦怠的重要因素，角色、人际关系和职业发展等因素与职业倦怠密切相关。组织支持感和消极应对策略在工作压力和职业倦怠之间起中介作用。减少情感耗竭和消极应对、增强情感支持以及提高教练的职称有助于减轻四川省竞技体育教练的工作压力和职业倦怠。
