This research was done in order to investigate "burn-out" and "locus of control" among the managers of physical and non-physical education departments and
faculties of higher education universities.
To do so, 44 physical education managers (95% of total) and 88 non-physical
education managers (40% of total) were selected. Data analysis was done using corrlation tests of Kendall, Pearson and mean comparison of Mann-Whitney,
Wilcoxon and HoteHings trace.
There was a significant correlation between age and career and the burn-out
extent in both physical and non-physical education managers. There was not any significant difference between these two and the locus of control, although in
non-physical education managers a significant relation between career and locus of control has been shown (a = 0.02).
There was no significant correlation betweev burn-out level and locus of control itself, but there was a significant difference between the current level of both and
their ideal state.
Obviously, both societies need burn-out management mechanisms and tension ¬decreasing strategies.
