چکیده

هدف: هدف پژوهش حاضر ارائه چارچوبی مفهومی برای شناسایی و تبیین عوامل کلیدی تعیین‌کننده مهاجرت ورزشکاران نخبه در ایران است.
روش‌شناسی: پژوهش حاضر توصیفی و به لحاظ هدف، کاربردی و از نظر نوع پژوهش نیز جزو مطالعات کیفی بود که با استفاده از نظریه داده بنیاد به انجام رسید. جامعه آماری پژوهش حاضر شامل صاحب­نظران، خبرگان، اساتید و مربیان در زمینه موضوع این پژوهش می‌­باشند. جهت نمونه‌­گیری برای انجام مصاحبه­‌های عمیق از روش نمونه‌گیری گلوله برفی استفاده شد. ابزار پژوهش مصاحبه بود که از 15 نفر به عمل آمد. روایی ابزار پژوهش(مصاحبه)، توسط مصاحبه‌شوندگان و سپس اساتید متخصص، مورد بررسی قرار گرفت و تأیید شد و برای سنجش پایایی از روش توافق درون موضوعی استفاده شد که مطابق این روش مقدار پایایی برابر با 0/81 بود. در راستای تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از روش نظریه داده‌­بنیاد استفاده شد.
یافته‌ها: بر اساس یافته­‌های پژوهش حاضر عوامل تعیین کننده در مهاجرت نخبگان ورزشی کشور شامل عوامل علی (جایگاه شغلی ضعیف در جامعه و سیستم مدیریتی ناکارآمد)، عوامل زمینه‌­ای (اقتصادی، سیاسی، فرهنگی- اجتماعی)، عوامل مداخله‌­گر (ویژگی­‌های فردی و محیطی)، راهبردها (بهبود ساختار ورزش کشور و بهبود وضعیت اجتماعی جامعه) و در نهایت پیامدهای این پژوهش (افت کیفیت ورزش قهرمانی و کمبود الگوی ورزشی مناسب در جامعه) می‌­باشد که این مقوله­‌ها خود شامل 20 مفهوم و چندین عامل یا کد باز هستند.
نتیجه‌گیری: بر اساس یافته‌­های پژوهش، باید سیاست­‌گذاری‌­های کلان و اقدامات موثری جهت ارتقای سطح کیفیت زندگی اجتماعی و حرفه­‌ای ورزشکاران نخبه صورت پذیرد تا روند مهاجرت نخبگان، کنترل و از خسارت‌های مادی و معنوی این پدیده جلوگیری به عمل آید.

چکیده [English]

Purpose: The present study aims to provide a conceptual framework for identifying and explaining the key determinants of elite athlte migration in Iran.
Methodology: This research is descriptive in nature, applied in purpose, and categorized as a qualitative study conducted using the grounded theory approach. The statistical population included experts, scholars, professors, and coaches familiar with the subject matter. Snowball sampling was employed to conduct in-depth interviews. Data collection was carried out through interviews with 15 participants. The validity of the interview instrument was assessed and confirmed by both interviewees and subject-matter experts. To evaluate reliability, the intra-coder agreement method was used, yielding a reliability coefficient of 0.81. Grounded theory methodology was employed for data analysis.
Findings: The findings revealed that the determinants of elite athlete migration in Iran encompass: Causal factors (weak occupational status in society and inefficient management systems), Contextual factors (economic, political, and socio-cultural), Intervening factors (individual and environmental characteristics), Strategies (improvement of the national sports structure and enhancement of athletes’ social status), and Consequences (decline in the quality of professional sports and lack of suitable role models in society). These categories consist of 20 concepts and numerous sub-factors or open codes.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, macro-level policymaking and effective measures are necessary to enhance the social and professional quality of life for elite athletes. Such actions are essential to controlling the migration trend of sports elites and mitigating the financial and cultural damages caused by this phenomenon.
