Introduction: Refereeing in football is one of the jobs that can lead to negative consequences for the health of the referees. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to determine the correlation between emotional intelligence and burnout caused by refereeing in female referees of Iranian football.
Methods: The present study was a descriptive-correlational study. The number of the community was 51 female referees working in the Women's Football League in 2016. Due to the small number of the community, a statistical sample equal to the total population was considered. The "Schutte Self Report Emotional Intelligence Test" (SSEIT) and the "Burnout Inventory for Referees" were used to collect data. Face validity was confirmed by experts and reliability of instruments using Cronbach's alpha coefficient method. Data was analysied by SPSS . 21.
Results: There is a significant correlation between refereeing burnout and optimism and emotion regulation (r = -0.59) as well as appraisal and expression of emotion (r = -31.31) (P <0.05). However, there is no significant correlation between the utilization of emotions (r = -0.10) and job refereeing burnout (P <0.05). Also, there is a significant correlation between emotional intelligence (r = -0.43) and refereeing burnout in negative direction (P <0.05).
Conclusions: Increased emotional intelligence is correlated with decreased burnout due to female referee. It is suggested that appropriate training be used to increase emotional intelligence and reduce burnout caused by refereeing in female referees working in the Football League.
