The purpose of this study was to assess the psychosocial work environment (PWE) of a sample of coaches in comparison with the reference values of the Spanish general workforce, as well as to explore the relationship between PWE and mental health, behavioral-stress symptoms, and burnout. A representative sample (N = 1,481) of Spanish coaches (18.1% women, mean age = 32.98 years, SD = 11.60) completed a battery of questionnaires. Results showed that, in comparison with the general workforce, coaches showed statistically significant differences in most of the PWE areas assessed. The emotional demands experienced by coaches are a health risk, while trust regarding management and recognition are positive features in their PWE. Coaches’ emotional demands were associated with low mental-health scores and higher levels of behavioral-stress symptoms and burnout, whereas social community at work and role clarity were protective factors for health. Practical implications to provide more favorable work environments for coaches are discussed.

这项研究的目的是评估教练样本的心理社会工作环境（PWE），并与西班牙普通劳动力的参考价值进行比较，并探讨PWE与心理健康，行为压力症状，和倦怠。具有代表性的样品（ñ  = 1481）的西班牙教练（18.1％为女性，平均年龄=32.98年的SD = 11.60）完成了一系列调查问卷。结果表明，与一般劳动力相比，教练在大多数PWE领域中均显示出统计学上的显着差异。教练所经历的情感要求是一种健康风险，而对管理和认可的信任是其PWE的积极特征。教练的情绪需求与较低的心理健康分数，较高的行为压力症状和倦怠有关，而工作中的社会共同体和角色清晰是健康的保护因素。讨论了为教练提供更有利的工作环境的实际含义。
