Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess the psychosocial work environment (PWE) of a sample of coaches in comparison with the reference values of the Spanish general workforce, as well as to explore the relationship between PWE and mental health, behavioral-stress symptoms, and burnout. A representative sample (N = 1,481) of Spanish coaches (18.1% women, mean age = 32.98 years, SD = 11.60) completed a battery of questionnaires. Results showed that, in comparison with the general workforce, coaches showed statistically significant differences in most of the PWE areas assessed. The emotional demands experienced by coaches are a health risk, while trust regarding management and recognition are positive features in their PWE. Coaches’ emotional demands were associated with low mental-health scores and higher levels of behavioral-stress symptoms and burnout, whereas social community at work and role clarity were protective factors for health. Practical implications to provide more favorable work environments for coaches are discussed.

评估西班牙教练的心理社会工作环境及其与心理健康、行为压力症状和倦怠的关系

本研究的目的是将一个教练样本的心理社会工作环境（PWE）与西班牙普通劳动力的参考值进行比较，并探讨PWE与心理健康、行为压力症状和倦怠之间的关系。代表性样本（N = 1481名）的西班牙教练（女性18.1%，平均年龄 = 32.98岁，SD = 11.60）完成了一系列问卷调查。结果显示，与普通员工相比，教练在大多数PWE评估领域表现出统计学上的显著差异。教练所经历的情感需求是一种健康风险，而对管理和认可的信任是他们PWE的积极特征。教练的情绪需求与较低的心理健康分数、较高水平的行为压力症状和倦怠有关，而工作中的社会社区和角色明确性是健康的保护因素。讨论了为教练提供更有利的工作环境的实际意义。
