Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this research was to study the effect of managers' coaching skill on job engagement of staff in sports and youth organization with the role of a mediator of job crafting.
Methodology: This research is practical and was carried out through using the survey research method. All employees of the sports and youth organizations of Golestan province were participants of this study (230 people). By using Cochran's formula, the sample size of the research was estimated to be 145, and their selection was done by cluster random sampling method. The research data collection tools included questionnaires of job engagement (Shuck et al., 2016), managers' coaching skill (Han, 2016) and job crafting (Sora et al., 2018). The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by five PhDs in sports management and in a preliminary study, the results of Cronbach's alpha test showed that the reliability of the questionnaires used was acceptable. The analysis of the collected data was done descriptively (mean and standard deviation) and inferentially (structural equation modeling).
Results: The results showed that managers' coaching skill has a positive and significant effect on the job engagement of sports and youth organizations’ staff. Also, the results of the research showed that the effect of managers' coaching skill on the job crafting of staff in sports and youth organization is positive and significant. Finally, the effect of managers' coaching skill on the job engagement of sports and youth organizations’ staff with the mediator role of job crafting was confirmed.
Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study it can be concluded that managers of sports and youth organizations can increase their staff job engagement by using coaching skills and developing staff ability of job crafting in their jobs. Therefore, putting up the programs related to coaching in the human resource management development programs of sports and youth organizations is suggested.
