Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the effective factors of job burnout and coping strategies in personnel of youth & sport general offices. Methodology: 348 personnel of youth and sport general offices of seven provinces were randomly selected and completed three instruments including the questionnaires of Job Burnout (MBI, Maslach and Jackson, 1981), Sources of Job Burnout , and Coping Strategies of Job Burnout. MBI contained three dimensions with 22 items. Both of the questionnaires of Sources of job burnout and Coping Strategies included 48 items. Reliability of the questionnaires was high; Cronbach's alpha value for MBI, Sources of Job Burnout , and Coping Strategies of Job Burnout were 0.78, 0.85, and 0.89 respectively. Data were analyzed with one-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov , ANOVA test and factor analysis test at the significance level of P≤0.05. Results: The results indicated that there was not a significant difference between job burnout levels of personnel of youth and sport general offices in variant provinces. Also, the results showed that the personal, organizational and social factors were identified as job burnout sources. Conclusion: Managers of sport organizations can provide a good organizational climate, work support, delegation of authority, social and friendly relationships to cope the personnel's job burnout.

AbstractObjective: The aim of this study was to investigate the canonical correlation of the relationship between the social support and absence of motivation of 2nd and 3rd grade high school students in physical education activities.Methodology: The method of study was descriptive–correlation, and field survey. 381 students among 2nd and 3rd high school students of Bookan city were chosen through multi-level cluster random sampling. They filled in interpersonal behavior scale of Pelletier et.al (2008) with the reliability (α=.81), and questionnaire of absence of motivation in physical education of Shen et.al (2010) with reliability (α=.78). Data was analyzed with Canonical Correlation method.Results: The results showed that there was a negative significant relationship between autonomy support with insufficient values of activities (r=-0.130, p≤0.05), and unappealing activities (r=-0.166, p≤0.05). Competence support had a negative significant relationship with deficient ability (r=-0.135, p≤0.05), deficient effort (r=-0.133, p≤0.05), insufficient values of activities (r=-0.197, p≤0.01), and unappealing activities (r=-0.202, p≤0.01). Relatedness support had a negative significant relationship with deficient ability (r=-0.110, p≤0.05), deficient effort (r=-0.108, p≤0.05), insufficient values of activities (r=-0.157, p≤0.01), and unappealing activities (r=-0.178, p≤0.01). Also, canonical correlation showed a significant set between social support and students’ lack of motivation, that is, set of social support predicted set of students’ lack of motivation (0.19).Conclusion: Physical education teachers, who provide supportive environment for students, can influence students’ motivation, and increase their participation at physical education activities.Keywords: Canonical correlation, Motivation, Physical education, Social support.
