초등학교 스포츠강사의 직무성과와 직무만족의 관계에서 직무스트레스의 조절효과 검증

Abstract

This study validates the moderating effect of job stress on the relationship between job satisfaction and performance of elementary school sports instructors. Furthermore, it investigates the influence of job characteristics on job stress. To this end, a survey was conducted among 289 sports instructors currently employed in elementary schools in the Gyeonggi region. The analysis was performed using PROCESS Macro model 1 to validate the moderating effect of stress on the relationship between job satisfaction and performance. Moreover, a multiple regression analysis was conducted to clarify the factors affecting job stress. The results revealed that although job satisfaction significantly influenced job performance, it did not significantly impact job stress. However, job stress was found to significantly interact with job satisfaction to influence job performance. Specifically, when the job stress level was below a certain point, job satisfaction had a significant positive effect on job performance, implying that to enhance job performance through increased job satisfaction, managing and preventing excessive job stress levels is essential. Job characteristics that influenced sports instructors’ job stress were identified as “feedback” and “task diversity.” In conclusion, for improving job performance through increased job satisfaction for elementary school sports instructors, maintaining the job stress levels below a certain threshold is crucial. Improving factors such as feedback and task diversity, which impact sports instructors’ job stress, can positively affect job performance. Efforts are needed to foster a collaborative relationship between teachers and sports instructors, capitalizing on their unique expertise to encourage positive feedback exchange.
