Objective: To verify the mediating effect of job burnout among domestic youth basketball coaches on the relationship between their psychological resilience and leadership behavior. Methods: This study conducted a questionnaire survey among 122 male youth basketball coaches in China using the Connor–Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC), the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI), and the Leadership Scale for Sports (LSS). Results: (1) Psychological resilience was significantly negatively correlated with emotional exhaustion (r=-0.21, p<0.05) and depersonalization (r=-0.44, p<0.001), and positively correlated with personal accomplishment (r=0.67, p<0.001); (2) Psychological resilience was positively correlated with training and instruction behavior (r=0.68, p<0.001), democratic behavior (r=0.56, p<0.001), social support behavior (r=0.53, p<0.001), and positive feedback behavior (r=0.56, p<0.001), but not significantly correlated with autocratic behavior (r=0.12, p=0.20); (3) Only depersonalization and personal accomplishment were significantly correlated with training and instruction behavior, democratic behavior, and social support behavior (all p<0.01), while personal accomplishment was also significantly correlated with positive feedback behavior (r=0.47, p<0.001). Emotional exhaustion was not significantly correlated with any leadership behavior dimensions (all p>0.10); (4) Personal accomplishment partially mediated the relationship between psychological resilience and training and instruction behavior (mediation effect= 0.17, 95% CI [0.056, 0.317]). Conclusion: This study concludes that high psychological resilience not only directly promotes coaches’ non-autocratic leadership behavior but also enhances training and instruction behavior through increased job accomplishment.
