Abstract
The aim of the current research is to predict addiction to work among sports coaches in the city of Ilam based on the level of reading, with responsibility acting as a mediating factor. The research is descriptive-correlational and was conducted in the field. A total of 230 sports coaches (both male and female) were selected from the population as the sample. Questionnaires on factors influencing reading levels, work addiction by Spence and Robbins, and responsibility by Amini and colleagues were used for data collection. Data analysis utilized SPSS22 and AMOS24 software, employing descriptive statistics and path analysis. Goodness-of-fit indices were within an acceptable range, confirming the validity of the model. With a total coefficient of (0.99) and the results of Sobel, Goodman, and Aroian tests, the mediating role of responsibility was confirmed. Additionally, a significant positive relationship was established between reading levels and work addiction (β= 0.71 and t= 13.3), reading levels and responsibility (β= 0.25 and t= 44.3), and responsibility and work addiction (β= 0.20 and t= 47.2).
