The statistical population included all the staff of the Ministry of Sports and Youth (N=800). According to Morgan's table, the sample size was determined to be 260 people and the sampling was done using a stratified method. The measurement tools included Niknejad's Strategic Management Effectiveness Questionnaire (2015), Amrolahi's Freedom of Speech Questionnaire (2017), which were used after confirming the validity and reliability. Kolmogorov-Smirnov tests, one-sample t-test, Pearson correlation coefficient, and structural equation modeling were used to analyze the data with the help of SPSS and PLS version 3 statistical software.Results: The results showed that in the Ministry of Sports and Youth, the variable of strategic management effectiveness is significantly in an unfavorable state and the average of freedom of expression is significantly lower than the average. Also, there is a positive and significant relationship between freedom of expression and strategic management effectiveness (Sig=0.01). Finally, the results of the structural equation model of the research showed that the effect of freedom of expression on strategic management effectiveness is direct and significant.Conclusion: To achieve an effective organization, it is essential to pay attention to human resources-related factors such as freedom of speech in the organization. Therefore, increasing the level of freedom of speech of employees can promote creativity and innovation of employees and increase the likelihood of achieving organizational goals.
