Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of positive emotions on the performance of football coaches with the role of mediator of psychological well-being. The present study is an applied and correlational study, and data collection was conducted in the form of a survey. The statistical population of this study included 800 football coaches in Golestan province who had a valid certificate from the Football Federation, of which 270 coaches randomly participated as a statistical sample in this study. To collect data for this study, three standard questionnaires were used: the level of positive emotions of coaches, task performance, and the level of psychological well-being of football coaches. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by sports management experts, and their reliability was calculated in a preliminary study using Cronbach's alpha as 0.76, 0.77, and 0.86, respectively. SPSS 25 and Smart PLS 3 software were used to analyze the descriptive and inferential statistics of this study. The findings indicate that there is a positive and significant effect between positive emotions on the task performance of football coaches with the mediating role of psychological well-being. According to the results obtained, it seems that positive emotions in football coaches can bring effective consequences for them. It is suggested that by holding specialized psychological courses for coaches, they should be taught how to manage and control emotions and they should be encouraged to share their positive emotions with others in their work environment.
