Abstract

The purpose of the present paper was to investigate the relationship of conscientiousness and job satisfaction with the organizational loafing of physical education teachers in performing extracurricular sports activities in schools. The research method was a descriptive survey and the research tools were the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Standard questionnaire (2009), Sims and Nicole (2014), and the Ghorbanizade Conscientiousness questionnaire (1395). The statistical population included physical education teachers at Kashan city (N=102), which statistical sample was considered as 69. In the inferential statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Pearson correlation and multiple regression (stepwise approach) were used. The most important findings of the research showed that the level of loafing and conscientiousness of teachers was favorable, but the level of job satisfaction was moderate. There was no significant difference between male and female teachers in terms of social loafing, conscientiousness and job satisfaction. In addition, according to the type of employment (formal and contractual), there was no significant difference between the loafing, conscientiousness and satisfaction. As a result, the promotion of career development’ opportunities and increased job satisfaction, leads to the participation of more and more physical education teachers in sports supplements activities.
