Abstract

Managing diversity by taking advantage of ethical commitment and reducing burnout can have positive effects on organizations. The purpose of this study was to develop a relationship model between diversity management with burnout and ethical commitment of sports journalists.

Descriptive-correlation statistical method was used to analyze the data. 162 sports reporters were selected as the research sample. The data collection tools were standard Maslach burnout questionnaires, Hashemi's moral commitment and William Mill's diversity management questionnaires. To evaluate the dimensions of the studied variables and assess the validity of the structure, confirmatory factor analysis and to test the research hypotheses, after collecting data, according to the research objectives and questions, one-sample t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient and Regressions were analyzed using SPSS and AMOS statistical software. The results showed that there is a positive and significant relationship between burnout and moral commitment with diversity management. The results indicate that burnout and moral commitment predict 28% of the variance in diversity management. Also, the beta of job burnout and moral commitment are equal to 0.19 and 0.38, respectively, which significantly predict diversity management. According to these results, to prevent burnout and improve the moral commitment of sports reporters, It is important to pay attention to diversity management.
