Relationship between Job Burnout and Psychological Well-being among Physical Education Teachers: The Mediating Role of Organization-Based Self-Esteem

Objective: Job burnout and psychological health are significant concerns in the teaching profession. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between job burnout and the psychological health of physical education teachers, considering the mediating role of organization-based self-esteem.Methods: This descriptive-correlational study was conducted on all physical education teachers in Yazd. A sample of ۱۹۵ participants was selected through available sampling. Data were collected using the Maslach Burnout Inventory, Ryff's Psychological Well-Being Scales (PWB), and Pierce's Organization-Based Self-Esteem Scale. Structural equation modeling was employed for data analysis in AMOS software.Results: The model demonstrated good fit with the data (CFI=۰.۹۴, RMSEA=۰.۰۶). Job burnout showed a significant direct negative effect on psychological well-being (β=-۰.۴۴, P<۰.۰۱). Organization-based self-esteem demonstrated a significant positive effect on psychological well-being (β=۰.۳۶, P<۰.۰۱). The indirect effect of job burnout on psychological well-being through organization-based self-esteem was also significant (β=-۰.۱۶, (P< ۰.۰۵), confirming the mediating role. The model explained ۶۱% of the variance in psychological well-being scores.Conclusion: The findings indicate that organization-based self-esteem serves as a partial mediator in the relationship between job burnout and psychological well-being among physical education teachers. This suggests that interventions targeting both the reduction of job burnout and the enhancement of organization-based self-esteem may be particularly effective in promoting psychological well-being in this population. School administrators should consider implementing organizational support programs and positive feedback mechanisms to strengthen teachers' sense of value within the educational system.
