外文摘要：Under China's elite athlete development system, the result-oriented and high-intensity training often exposes young athletes to many risks, which can easily lead to athlete burnout (AB). While previous research has identified numerous individual-level antecedents of AB, limited attention has been paid to how coach burnout (CB), operating at the organizational level, may contribute to AB in individual level. Grounded in SelfDetermination Theory and employing Hierarchical Linear Modeling (HLM), this study examined the influence of basic psychological needs and CB on AB among 938 athletes (M-age = 17.47, SD = 1.11) and their 34 Chief coaches from provincial sports teams in China. At the individual level, autonomy was found to be a significant negative predictor of AB (gamma = -0.11, t = -2.34, p < .05), whereas competence and relatedness showed no significant predictive effect. At the organizational level, Cross-level analysis indicated that CB significantly and positively predicted AB (gamma = 0.53, t = 8.33, p < .001), and significantly moderated the relationship between relatedness and AB in a positive direction (gamma = 0.17, t = 2.57, p < .05). These findings underscore the critical role of autonomy in mitigating AB and highlight CB as both a direct and moderating factor in Chinese youth athlete psychological health. To effectively prevent burnout in youth athletes, sports organizations should address both coach well-being and athletes' basic psychological needs by implementing regular coach training programs and fostering stronger coach-athlete relationships.
