Introduction: Using the job demands-resources model, this study was conducted to explore the mediating effect of job burnout on the relationship between job insecurity and work withdrawal behavior among school sports coaches. In addition, the moderating effect of organizational identification was examined in the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout. Finally, we adopted moderated mediation to analyze the relationships among these variables. Methods: We recruited sports coaches employed by public schools in Taiwan to respond to structured questionnaires. A sample of 316 participants provided valid responses. Pearson’s correlation and hierarchical regression analyses were used to validate the hypotheses. Results: The results indicated that job insecurity positively affect work withdrawal via the mediator of job burnout. Organizational identification moderated the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout among sports coaches. When sports coaches perceived high levels of organizational identification with their schools, the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout got weaker. By contrast, when they perceived a low level of organizational identification toward the school, the relationship between job insecurity and job burnout got stronger. In addition, organizational identification also moderated the relationships between job insecurity, job burnout, and work withdrawal behavior. When sports coaches showed high levels of organizational identification with their schools, the above mediating effect of job burnout was also weakened. Conclusion: This study improved the moderated mediation model of job insecurity, job burnout, organizational identification, and work withdrawal behavior. It also provided empirical evidence that the job demands-resources model can be applied to sports coaches in educational contexts. In terms of management practices, by building a shared vision of the educational campus with sports coaches, schools may strengthen organizational identification, which may alleviate work burnout caused by job insecurity and further ease negative work outcomes. |
