The role of diversity management in the job burnout of faculty members of physical education of universities across the country

The purpose of this study was to identify the role of diversity management in the job burnout of faculty members of physical education of universities across the country. The present research is of correlation and performed in field method. The population for this study consisted of 400 individuals and groups of all members of the faculty members of physical education and sports science departments in the universities across the country. The volume of the sample size was 133 obtained through Cochran formula. In this study، a diversity management questionnaire (Villamil Astrid، 2007) and burnout questionnaire (Maslach & Jackson، 1981) have been used. For data analysis، in addition to descriptive statistics، also the correlation coefficient، multiple regression and single-sample T-test have been used. The results of correlation coefficient showed that there is a significant and reverse relationship between diversity management and job burnout of faculty members (r=-0. 44، p<0. 01)، race dimension and burnout (r=-0. 20، p<0. 05)، religion dimension and burnout (r=-0. 46، p<0. 01)، scientific degree dimension and burnout (r=-0. 43، p<0. 01)، age dimension and burnout (r=-0. 41، p<0. 01). there was no relation between between gender and burnout (r=-0/15، p=0. 087). The results of step by step multiple regression also showed that aspects of the diversity management in religion، race and scientific degree aspects are able to predict burnout (F(3،129) =34. 740، p<0. 01). Thus، we can conclude that the increase in diversity management and its dimensions except for gender، burnout decreases. And the management of 43% of the variation can be explained by changes in burnout (p=0. 447). It is suggested that managers in terms of diversity management provide the way for reducing the job burnout of faculty members.
