The effect of transactional management on stress and job satisfaction mediated by perceived organizational support of police sports managers

The issue of stress and job satisfaction is always one of the most important concerns of managers in organizations. On the other hand, the organization's support for the staff and the transformation of the Police complex is always at the top of the commanders' work. The purpose of this study is the effect of change management on stress and job satisfaction through the mediated organizational support of Police sports managers.

The present study is applied in terms of purpose and correlational in terms of nature and descriptive method. The statistical population consisted of approximately 95 Police sports managers, all of whom were considered as a sample by the whole number method. The measuring instruments were Perceived Organizational Support Questionnaire of Eisenberger et al. (1986), James Castiglioni Transformation Management Questionnaire (2006), Brooks et al. (2009) and Job Satisfaction Questionnaire of Ghasemzadeh et al. (2012). Convergent and divergent validity, combined reliability and Cronbach's alpha were used to analyze the data using descriptive statistics including mean and percentage, and to test the hypotheses, the structural equation approach and Spss and pls software were used.

The results showed that perceived support has a positive and significant effect on the relationship between change management and job satisfaction (indirect = 0.061, t = 2.31 and p <0.05). Also, perceived support has a negative and significant effect on the relationship between change management and job stress (indirect = -0.04.01, t = 1.75 and p <0.05). Also, a positive and significant effect was observed on the relationship between transformational management on perceived support and job satisfaction and perceived support on job satisfaction. It was also found that transformational management has a negative and significant effect on job stress and perceived support on job stress.

. The results showed that change management has an effect on stress and job satisfaction with the mediating role of organizational support of Police sports managers. Therefore, Polic sports commanders and managers should pay special attention to the role of change management and organizational support to reduce stress and increase job satisfaction.
