The impact of engaging in recreational sports activities on work values ​​among vocational training trainees (vocational training centers in the city of Boussaâda)

Abstract

Recreational sports activities serve as an educational, developmental, and recreational approach, reflecting a pivotal and essential part of individuals' lives, fostering a sense of self and humanity. This modest research falls within the priorities of supporting trainees in vocational training centers. Our aim is to demonstrate the impact of recreational sports on their work values, thereby highlighting the importance of such activities. Recreational sports help trainees improve their performance, cultivate a love for their work, and develop dedication and mastery. They also instill a sense of pride in their work and positively influence their social relationships with colleagues, family, and the wider community, including providing guidance and assistance during work. Furthermore, the nature of the training received by trainees necessitates participation in sports activities due to their crucial role in achieving psychological balance. These activities promote mental and intellectual relaxation, reduce stress levels, and alleviate nervous tension. They also positively impact the trainee's social and emotional well-being, influencing both the trainee and their surrounding environment, which includes colleagues and instructors. This environment requires positive social interaction across various relationships. Therefore, sports activities can foster psychomotor and socio-emotional equilibrium. This research aims to either confirm or refute this importance by formulating hypotheses to study the differences between trainees who participate in recreational sports activities and those who do not, using a work values ​​scale.
