The statistical population of this research was middle school sports teachers in Tehran, and using Morgan's table, 384 were considered and the sampling method was done in a convenient way. In this research, to test the model and research hypotheses, structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach was used in SPSS and SmartPLS software for data analysis. The results showed that isolation and forgetfulness have a positive effect on the emotional exhaustion of sports teachers in Tehran. Also, isolation and forgetfulness have a positive effect on the occupational stress of physical education teachers in Tehran. Also, the mediating role of occupational stress has a positive effect on isolation and forgetfulness and emotional exhaustion of sports teachers in Tehran, so occupational stress has played a mediating role in this regard.
