- Abstract:
- Burnout in coaches has been a concerning issue for many years. It can lead to a host of medical, psychological, emotional and performance-related issues. One of the many factors that correlates with burnout is emotional intelligence (EI). Additionally, research supports that various leadership styles correlate with perceived burnout in different ways. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether leadership styles moderate the relationship between EI and perceived burnout in NCAA coaches. The full range leadership model was used in this study, and proposes that there are transformational, transactional, and passive-avoidant leadership styles. A total of 244 (n = 140 male, n = 103 female, n = 1 undisclosed) NCAA coaches participated from across all three NCAA divisions. Their ages ranged from 24 to 74 years old (M = 54.07, SD = 11.61). The majority of coaches were married (66.8 %), Caucasian (89.8%), and held a master’s degree (61.1%). Represented sports were basketball, lacrosse, soccer, swimming, volleyball, and other. Consistently with previous research, the results indicated a significant weak negative relationship between EI and perceived burnout (r = -.38, p = .000) as well as transformational leadership style and perceived burnout (r = -.24, p = .000). The relationship between transactional leadership style and perceived burnout was not statistically significant, while there was a significant weak positive relationship between passive-avoidant leadership style and perceived burnout (r = .25, p = .000). The moderation was partially supported. More specifically, transformational and transactional leadership styles did not show a moderating effect, while passive-avoidant leadership style showed a moderating effect on the relationship between EI and perceived burnout, accounting for 20% of the variance in perceived burnout.
