Also, the fit indexes (CMIN/DF=2.854, RMSEA=0.086) defined the model fit. Conclusion: Regarding the high reliability and validity, the designed instrument can be used to measure human resource productivity in sports federations. Identifying the factors affecting productivity and their impact magnitude can improve human resource productivity in sports federations. To assess the instrument validity, we offer to use this instrument in the research about other sports organizations too.
