Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to examine the role of environmental and personal factors in sport coaches' well-being and behavioral intention. To be precise, this study measured how workplace social support, work involvement, and work satisfaction are associated with sport coaches' well-being and turnover intention, adopting the framework of the environmental psychological model. DESIGN: A total of 519 responses were collected from sport coaches in Singapore. In this study, confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling analysis were conducted using EQS 6.3 software. RESULTS: Results of structural equation modeling supported all hypothesized relationships, except the paths from work involvement to turnover intention and well-being. Additionally, this study found the indirect effects of workplace social support and work involvement on turnover intention and well-being. CONCLUSION: This study provided an understanding of external and internal antecedents of sport coaches' future behavior and well-being, ultimately benefiting sport organizations.
