Abstract
The main aim of the present study is to investigate the effect of job involvement on the performance of physical education teachers in Razavi Khorasan Province with the role of moderating job stress.
The present study was applied in terms of purpose, cross-sectional in terms of time, descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection method, and applied research. The statistical population of the study was all physical education teachers in Razavi Khorasan province in the academic year 2023-2024 (2057 people). The sample size was estimated between 70-350 using Kline's theory (2014) and considering the number of items. The data collection tools were Kanungo's job involvement questionnaire (1982), Patterson & Husband's job performance (1970), and Hellriegel and Slocum's job stress questionnaire (2004). The reliability of the questionnaires was examined and confirmed with Cronbach's alpha. After distributing the questionnaires in an accessible manner, 223 questionnaires were analyzed. Data analysis was performed using structural equation modeling in PLS software.
The results of the research model analysis also showed that job stress does not play a moderating role in the relationship between job involvement and job performance of physical education teachers in Razavi Khorasan Province.
Although job stress did not play a moderating role in this study, this result does not mean that stress is unimportant, but rather shows that in work environments full of engagement and dynamic activities, motivational factors may overcome stressful challenges.
