The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between the job stress of golf instructors and their job satisfaction in a bid to help improve their quality of life. Two research questions were posed: 1. Do the general characteristics of golf instructors make any differences to their job stress and job satisfaction? 2. What is the relationship between their job stress and job satisfaction? The subjects in this study were 170 men and 49 women who were selected by random sampling from among golf instructors who worked in Seoul, Gyeonggi province and Chungcheong province as of 2007. A survey was conducted to determine the relationship of job stress to job satisfaction. 12 items about general characteristics were included in the questionnaire used in this study, and what differences the background variables of the subjects made to their job stress and job satisfaction that were respectively selected as an independent variable and a dependent variable was analyzed. The findings of the study were as follows: First, the golf instructors were different from one another in job stress and job satisfaction according to their background variables including gender, age, education, residential area, income, marital status, golfing career, teaching career, acquired certificates, service area and number of customers. Second, the job stress was divided into work stress and job stress, and whether the two kinds of job stress were linked to their satisfaction level with job, occupation, work, workplace and working environments was checked. And there was a statistically significant causal relationship between the two. So job stress had an impact on job satisfaction. Third, their job stress had a statistically significantly negative correlation to their satisfaction level with work(r=-.20, p<.01), workplace (r=-.216, p<.01) and job(r=-.179, p<.01). The golf instructors who suffered more job stress found their work, workplace and job to be less satisfactory.
