Abstract
Objective
The purpose of this study was to examine the role of environmental and personal factors in sport coaches’ well-being and behavioral intention. To be precise, this study measured how workplace social support, work involvement, and work satisfaction are associated with sport coaches’ well-being and turnover intention, adopting the framework of the environmental psychological model.
Design
A total of 519 responses were collected from sport coaches in Singapore. In this study, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis were conducted using EQS 6.3 software.
Results
Results of structural equation modeling supported all hypothesized relationships, except the paths from work involvement to turnover intention and well-being. Additionally, this study found the indirect effects of workplace social support and work involvement on turnover intention and well-being.
Conclusion
This study provided an understanding of external and internal antecedents of sport coaches’ future behavior and well-being, ultimately benefiting sport organizations.
