ABSTRACT:
This study examined sources of stress, burnout, and intention to terminate among baseball/softball umpires. Surveys were returned by 782 of 1500 umpires (52 percent) from 48 randomly selected umpire associations in one state. Analysis of a preliminary structural equation model with LISREL8 demonstrated that, contrary to results based on soccer officials, age and Role/Culture Conflict were not predictors of burnout or termination, but Time Pressure did predict burnout. A final structural model, hypothesizing that: (a) Fear of failure, Time Pressure, and Interpersonal Conflict predict burnout, and (b) burnout predicts intention to terminate, did fit the observed data, with a Goodness of Fit index of .94. Future research should examine officials from other sports to identify similarities and differences in sources of stress, burnout, and intention to terminate and a examine negative consequences of burnout other than intention to terminate.
