Background: Numerous studies have examined the relationship between personality traits and burnout. However, research that has provided a structural model for predicting burnout in Iranian professional football referees based on five major personality factors mediated by self-esteem has been neglected. Aims: The present study aimed to provide a structural model to predict job burnout of professional football referees in Iran based on five major personality factors mediated by self-esteem. Method: The research was descriptive and a sample of correlation schemes. The statistical population of this study included all male and female referees active in the top leagues and the first division of football and futsal in the country in 2019, including 341 people (229 male referees and 112 female referees). The sample was considered equal to the whole study population. Critical burnout questionnaires (1981), Costa and McCray's personality traits (1986), and Rosenberg's own self-esteem (1965) were used to measure research variables. Data were analyzed using structural equation method. Results: Good fitness indicators showed model fit with the data, direct trajectories of personality traits and self-esteem to job burnout were statistically significant (P< 0/01). Personality traits with job burnout through indirect mediation of self-esteem also had a significant indirect relationship (P< 0/01).
Conclusion: Self-esteem plays a mediating role between personality traits and burnout. Therefore, considering Self-esteem and personality traits can play an important role in reducing judges' burnout and increasing productivity
