Abstract: The aim of the present research was to investigate the role of social capital in job burnout rate among physical education teachers. The population of the research consisted of all the physical education teachers in the three main educational levels in Mashhad (N = 1200) among whom, using Morgan Table, 291 people were selected through cluster random sampling. For data collection, personal profile questionnaire, Maslach job burnout questionnaire (2001) and Khodadad Kashi's (2010) social capital questionnaire were used. The validity of these instruments was confirmed by previous studies, and their reliability was assessed by Cronbach Alpha Coefficient (0.81 and 0.85, respectively). Descriptive (mean, standard deviation, etc.) and inferential (Kolmogorov-Smirnov, Pearson's correlation, Spearman correlation and multiple linear regression) analyses were undergone to analyse the data (P ≤ 0.05). Spearman's correlation coefficient demonstrated that there was a negative significant relationship between social capital and teachers' demographic features only for experience (P ≤ 0.001, r = -0.451); Pearson's correlation coefficient also demonstrated that organisational participation and organisational trust are more eligible predictors in decreasing of job burnout rate among physical education teachers in Mashhad (β = -0.412, t = -3.843). Enhancing social capital, particularly the organisational participation of the physical education teachers, is an effective way in shrinking job burnout among physical education teachers.
