Abstract
The purpose of the study is to reveal the relationship between certain motives of professional activity of chess coaches and the level of their emotional and professional burnout. On the basis of the theoretical analysis results it has been suggested that professional motivation of coaches, which is based on the desire to achieve high sports results of their students, in the absence of such results is one of the dominant factors of the growing latent emotional tension and dissatisfaction with their professional activity. Verification of the put forward hypothesis was carried out on the research sample of 118 coaches and teachers, whose experience of professional activity in chess sections and clubs was from two to 30 years. The research was carried out with the help of methods oriented on revealing the needs and motives of professional activity, as well as accumulated emotional-energetic charges and professional burnout. It has been revealed that the majority of chess coaches and teachers are focused on achieving high sports results of their students, but not on their general mental and intellectual development, that in the absence of such results workers have latent emotional tension, which leads to emergence and development of professional deformations of their personality, devaluation of their professional activity, and tendency to underestimate the importance of their work. In order to achieve the priority goals of chess education development in Russia it is necessary to reorient chess coaches from the position of the value of competitive results to the value of their students’ development.
