Oral Presentation

Abstract

^{ABSTRACT: The purpose of the current study aimed to explore the moderating effect of organizational identification in the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout. We recruited full-time sports coaches working in schools in Taiwan as research participants. By using structured questionnaires, a sample of 316 participants were valid. Pearson correlation and hierarchical regression were used to validated the hypotheses. The results of current study indicated that there is a positive correlation between job insecurity and job burnout. Organizational identification was negatively related to job insecurity and job burnout. When sports coaches perceived high level of organizational identification with their school, the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout got weaker. On the contrary, when they perceived low level of organizational identification, the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout got stronger. This study improved moderating effect of organizational identification in the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout. It also provided empirical support that job demands-resources model can be applied to explain the working context of school sports coaches.}
