Investigation of the Effect of Job Stress on Sports Coaches’ Job Performance
Abstract
This study examined the effect of job stress on the performance of sports coaches. Sports coaches who worked in the Directorate of Youth and Sport at Antalya, Kutahya, Karaman, and Mugla Provinces, in Turkey, participated in the study (n = 168). As a data collection tool, the job stress and job performance scales adapted by Ornek (2017), from Turkmen’s (2015) research were used. For the reliability of the scales, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient was determined and correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were performed to determine the relationships among the variables. Correlation analysis showed that the performance variable was significantly and negatively correlated with all stress sub-dimensions (p < .01). The strongest relationship was with the management structure (r = -.376). In addition, the performance variable was significantly and negatively correlated with the age variable (r = -.163). The performance variable was significantly and positively correlated with the income variable (r = .171) and the educational degree variable (r = .171). According to the hierarchical regression analysis, the performances of the sports coaches were not affected by any of the demographic variables, but were affected significantly and negatively (β = -.338; p < .001) by stress.
