The purpose of this study was to clarify the actual situation of burnout for teachers who are advisors for extracurricular sports activities. We compared the degree of burnout that an athletic club activity advisor might experience by looking at the teachers’ personal identity type and in addition, we also considered the impact of the athletic club activity advisor’s identity on burnout.
The participants were 328 junior high school teachers (male:225, female:103, age: M=38.08, SD=11.62). As a result of this study, it was clarified that the teachers who were advisors for extracurricular sports activities had a higher burnout score than the average value. As a result of the t-test, it was clarified that the burnout score of women was higher than that of men, and that the burnout score of health and physical education teachers was lower. Multiple regression analysis revealed that both teacher and coach identities were related to burnout. This study showed the possibility of preventing a tendency for burnout by forming a teacher identity and a coach identity.
