Sampling in the qualitative part was carried out purposefully and using the snowball technique, and interviews continued until theoretical saturation was achieved (16 people). In the quantitative part, the sample size was calculated based on the Morgan table as 233 people, and these people were selected using the stratified random sampling method. For data analysis, the Grand Theory technique and the Fuzzy Delphi method were used in the qualitative part, and the exploratory factor analysis tests, Friedman ranking test, and structural equation modeling were used in the quantitative part with the help of SPSS 25 and Smart PLS 3 statistical software.Results: The results of the qualitative part of the research showed that the 12 main factors of the central hypothesis are conceptual thinking, systemic thinking, creativity, goal setting, continuous monitoring and evaluation, strengthening the managerial perspective, focusing on values, mastering time, mobilizing the supply chain, foresight, intelligent opportunism on thinking.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of core competencies on the innovation of sports organizations by examining the mediating role of intellectual capital.Methodology: In terms of subject, this research is in the field of correlation studies, in terms of nature, it is in the field of descriptive research. The statistical population of the research included managers and experts of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, sports federations and the National Olympic Committee (N=1200). According to the minimum sample required in the Morgan table, the sample size was determined to be 291 people, which was done by simple random sampling. Four demographic information questionnaires, Qasemi et al.'s core competencies questionnaire (2013), Bontis et al.'s (2000) intellectual capital questionnaire, and Jimenez et al.'s organizational innovation questionnaire (2008) were used. To confirm the formal and content validity of the questionnaire, the opinions of 7 sports management professors were used. The reliability of the questionnaire was also confirmed by conducting a test on 30 members of the research community and calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics were used in SPSS version 26 and structural equation model in Amos software version 24.Results: The results showed that there is a significant relationship between core competencies and innovation, core competencies and intellectual capital, and between intellectual capital and innovation in sports organizations in the country (Sig=0.001). Also, core competencies have a significant positive effect on innovation (Sig=0.001, t=10.561) with a path coefficient (β=0.782), intellectual capital on innovation (Sig=0.001, t=6.040) with a path coefficient (β=0.443), and core competencies have a significant positive effect on intellectual capital (Sig=0.001, t=8.573) with a path coefficient (β=0.572) in sports organizations.Conclusion: In order to promote the innovation of their organization, the managers of the country's sports organizations have a special level in hiring employees based on their competence and facilities as well as their innovation capabilities. Also, by improving the competencies of organizational employees through specialized training, job rotation, etc., they also promote their innovation.
