With the hosting of the Beijng Olympics in 2008 and the East Asian games in 2009, the sport and recreation industry is growing in Hong Kong. To ensure that individuals who pursue careers in sport and recreation experience job satisfaction, wellness, and ultimately success, it is important to study this population more closely. Specifically, the purpose of this paper is to examine the following in sport and recreation managers in Hong Kong: (a) their personal characteristics including leisure time physical activity (LTPA), coping strategies, work stress, job satisfaction, and wellness, (b) the stress-strain relationship (i.e., the relationship between work stress and outcome factors including job satisfaction and wellness), and (c) the moderating effects of LTPA and coping on job satisfaction and wellness (e.g., emotional, intellectual, physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions). Descriptive statistics were calculated to describe the personal characteristics and the stress-strain relationship in this sample. Hierarchical regressions were conducted to determine whether LTPA and coping strategies moderated job satisfaction and wellness in this sample. Sport and recreation managers in Hong Kong did not participate in sufficient leisure time physical activity as recommended by the physical activity guidelines for adults. Their work stress level was moderate (Mean = 3.63, SD = 0.66). They tended to employ certain control coping strategies (Mean = 4.28, SD = 0.63) and support coping strategies (Mea^ = 4.32, SD = 0.67) to deal with stress. Their reported wellness mean scores, in order from highest to lowest, were: social wellness (4.23), spiritual wellness (4.20), physical wellness (4.11), psychological wellness (3.94), intellectual wellness (3.93), and emotional wellness (3.90). Stress appeared to have a negative influence on all dimensions of wellness except the physical dimension. Both types of coping, control and support, had significant direct effects on all dimensions of wellness. LTPA had a direct effect on physical wellness (r = .20, p < .01) and intellectual wellness (r = .12, p < .05). Support coping demonstrated a moderating effect on the relationships between work stress and spiritual wellness, and between stress and intellectual wellness. Both control and support coping demonstrated a direct effect on wellness. Recommendations for decreasing work stress and increasing LTPA, coping, job satisfaction and wellness are provided based on the findings.
