碩士 === 臺北市立大學 === 運動教育研究所 === 102 === This study explores the enforcement enthusiasm, enforcement stress, and referee job burnout of various levels of domestic basketball referees. Research variables include different gender, age, referee level, and years of refereeing experience. Research subjects are international referees in Taiwan, national A level referee, national B level referee, and national C level referees. This study used questionnaire surveys and distributed 140 questionnaires. Overall, 135 questionnaires were recovered, with a recovery rate of 96％. Independent-samples t test, ANOVA, and Pearson product-moment correlation were used to verify data. The results of this study showed the following conclusions. Gender of referees did not influence their work burnout. High stress and low enthusiasm influenced referee work burnout. High enthusiasm and low stress reduced work burnout of referees. The higher the level of the referee, the lower the referee’s work burnout, and vice versa. Based on the research conclusion, this study recommends that the cultivation of basketball referees increase the number of games referees participate in and strengthen their abilities, in addition to current regulations on upgrading to a higher level qualifications ( years of experience, physical endurance, written examination, and on-site refereeing basic conditions). During level (grade) upgrading of basketball referees, the examination should improve their stress resistance and reduce their burnout. Refereeing experience can be shared during this period supplemented by on-site guidance from senior referees. This can strengthen refereeing ability and increase their enforcement confidence. Consequently, work enthusiasm of referees can be increased and stress and work burnout reduced, which enables referees to concentrate on enforcing basketball competitions.
