Abstract
Objective: The purpose of this study was to design a model of professional structure development for sports organizations based on Grounded Theory.
Methodology: The research method is qualitative with systematic analysis approach. The statistical population consisted of two sections of human society (former managers of physical education organization, current managers and heads and former National Olympic Committee and Ministry of Sport and Youth) and information society. The statistical sample was selected based on theoretical saturation in a non-probability purposive and snowball technique (17 subjects and 54 documents). Validity of the instrument was evaluated using descriptive qualitative methods (content validity, kappa coefficient). Systematic approach was used for data analysis during three stages of open, axial and selective coding.
Results: Finally 18 main categories (Internal & External Environment, Organizational Culture, Professional Structure, Executive Guidelines, Administrative Bureaucracy, Managers Intervention, Level of Control, Human and Financial Resources, Technology, Employee Readiness, Infrastructure, Standardization, Freelance, Quality Improvement Communication, delegating authority, productivity, improving decision making and improving sports performance) and 22 concepts were extracted.
Conclusion: The concept of professional structure is very important in designing sports organizations and has many aspects. Also, using this model, one can expect the development of professional structure of sports organizations in Iran.
