IS THERE A LINK BETWEEN DUAL MODEL PASSION AND INTENTION TO LEAVE? THE ROLE OF EMOTIONAL EXHAUSTION AS A MEDIATOR AMONG ATHLETIC COACHES

Abstract

Coach turnover has a significant effect on both athletes and athletic organisations. The goal of this study was to examine the association between two distinct types of passion, namely harmonious passion (HP) and obsessive passion (OP), and college athletic coaches' turnover intention (TI). Additionally, this study explored the relationship between passions and intention to turnover, utilising emotional exhaustion (EE) as a moderator. A total of 353 athletic coaches in the Jorden completed the online survey, which examined their OB, HM, and EE mediation toward TI. EE was found to be linked with HP negatively but favourably with OP. In turn, EE was positively related to TI. Additionally, this research established the underlying influence of EE on both the OP HP toward the TI relationship and the OP HP toward the TI connection. Our research has established the crucial impact of HP and OP on the TI and wellness of athletes' coaches.
