Abstract
This study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the role of occupational characteristics on job consciousness, job satisfaction, and the tendency towards a second job among physical education teachers in the city of Isfahan. The method of this study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of the research included all physical education teachers in Isfahan, numbering 572 individuals in the year 1403, from which 230 individuals were determined as the statistical sample based on the Krejcie and Morgan table and selected using stratified random sampling. The measurement tools were standard questionnaires on occupational characteristics, work ethic, job satisfaction, and the tendency towards a second job. Using Cronbachs alpha coefficient, the reliability coefficients of the questionnaires were found to be 0.85, 0.81, 0.83, and 0.75, respectively. Additionally, for data analysis, Pearson correlation coefficient tests and stepwise regression, along with SPSS software version 22, were used. The research results showed that the observed r at the 0.05 level indicates a significant negative correlation between occupational characteristics and the tendency towards a second job among physical education teachers in Isfahan. Furthermore, the findings from the regression model showed that occupational characteristics are not effective in predicting job satisfaction and work ethic of physical education teachers. However, occupational characteristics are effective in predicting the tendency towards a second job among physical education teachers in Isfahan. Therefore, it is recommended that managers implement programs and measures to retain teachers in their jobs, focus on educating and training students, and prevent the potential resignation of these valuable assets.
