Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate The effect of forced teleworking on physical education teachers' job satisfaction with the mediating role of quality of work life. The statistical population of this research was made up of all the physical education teachers of Razavi Khorasan province (N=3000) and 334 people were selected as the research sample by random-cluster sampling method. To collect data, Richards et al. (2005) forced telework questionnaire, Ilgan et al. (2014) teachers' quality of work questionnaire, and Hun and Gronigs (1999) job satisfaction questionnaire were used. To check the form and content validity of these questionnaires, the opinions of experts and sports management professors were taken for help, and convergent and divergent validity were used to determine the construct validity of the questionnaires. The results of Cronbach's alpha showed that the questionnaires have acceptable reliability. Structural equation modeling was used to estimate the hypotheses using Smart PLS 3 and SPSS 21 software. In order to estimate the hypotheses, spss and smart pls software were used. The results showed that teleworking has a direct and significant effect on the quality of work life(β= 0.44, T=14.32), and also the quality of work life showed a positive effect on the job satisfaction of physical education teachers(β= 0.63, T=28.59). Forced teleworking did not affect job satisfaction and the mediating role of work life quality in the relationship between forced teleworking and life satisfaction was confirmed. Therefore, the development and strengthening of teleworking in schools along with the expansion of the necessary and necessary infrastructure will increase the quality of work life and, as a result, job satisfaction.
