ABSTRACT
The goal of this study is to empirically examine how gender stereotypes, role conflict, job burnout, and job satisfaction are related among female physical education teachers. For this purpose, we surveyed 320 female physical education teachers in Korea from September to October 2019. First, gender stereotypes had a positive effect on role conflict. Second, gender stereotypes had no effect on job burnout. Third, gender stereotypes had no effect on job satisfaction. Fourth, role conflict had a positive effect on job burnout. Fifth, role conflict had no effect on job satisfaction. Finally, sixth, job burnout had a negative effect on job satisfaction. Based on these results, we were able to identify the difficulties faced by female physical education teachers, who are pressured to take on masculine images and roles, and that these factors were detrimental to their passion for teaching and job satisfaction. As such, we emphasized some of the occupational difficulties faced by female physical education teachers and presented the need to address these issues.
