Purpose: The primary purpose of this study was to investigate the networking capability of sports boards, which can be considered a launching pad for promoting sports federations. Networking can lead to a series of positive, innovative outcomes. If networking is performed well on sports boards, financial circulation will improve. Networking in sports organizations can drastically increase the organization's income and business prosperity in all respects. Methodology: The present study was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive methods. Sports boards’ staff in Iran's north-western provinces were considered statistical populations. The overall statistical population of the study consisted of 1832 subjects, from which a sample of 318 subjects were randomly selected according to the Morgan and Krejcie table. Data were collected through the researcher-made Business Networking Questionnaire. Cranach's alpha was used to assess the reliability of the questionnaire. A one-sample t-test and SPSS 26 software were used to test the hypotheses. Findings: According to the findings, the networking capability of sports boards in the north-western provinces of the country was significantly higher than the average (mean 3 with 95% confidence) in all respects. The results demonstrated that thanks to the small size of the sports boards, they cannot trust their ability alone. Therefore, they should set up standardizing processes and use new information systems to facilitate the networking processes in their structure. Originality: This study is innovative and is a milestone in reaching a wise government in society. If the networks are established in the sports organizations well, the federations can do their duty quickly and with the most productivity. Networks play a significant role in saving time, energy, and money for sports federations and society. | ||

چکیده [English] | ||
هدف: هدف اصلی این پژوهش بررسی قابلیت شبکهسازی هیاتهای ورزشی است که میتواند سکوی پرتابی برای بهبود کسب و کار و نوآوری در فدراسیونهای ورزشی باشد وگردش مالی در اتحادیههای ورزشی بهبود مییابد. روش: پژوهش حاضر از نظر هدف کاربردی و از نظر روش توصیفی است. جامعه آماری کارکنان هیاتهای ورزشی استانهای واقع در شمال غرب کشور ایران در نظر گرفته شد. جامعه آماری پژوهش شامل 1832 نفر بود که از بین آنها 318 نفر با توجه به جدول مورگان و کرجسی به طور تصادفی انتخاب شدند. دادهها از طریق پرسشنامه محققساخته شبکههای تجاری جمعآوری گردید. برای سنجش پایایی پرسشنامه از آلفای کرنباخ استفاده شد. برای آزمون فرضیهها از آزمون t تک نمونهای و نرم افزار SPSS 26 استفاده شد. یافتهها: بر اساس یافتهها، توان شبکهسازی هیاتهای ورزشی در استانهای شمال غربی از هر نظر بهطور معنیداری بالاتر از میانگین (میانگین = 3 با اطمینان 95 درصد) بود. نتایج نشان داد که با توجه به اندازه کوچک هیاتهای ورزشی، آنها نمیتوانند به تنهایی به توانایی خود اعتماد کنند. بنابراین، آنها باید جهت تسهیل فرآیندهای شبکهسازی در ساختار خود به دنبال استانداردسازی فرآیندها و استفاده از سیستمهای اطلاعاتی جدید باشند. اصالت و ابتکار مقاله: این مطالعه نقطه عطفی جهت رسیدن به دولت هوشمند در جامعه میباشد و در این زمینه نقشی نوآورانه ایفا میکند. اگر فرایند شبکهسازی به خوبی در سازمانهای ورزشی مستقر گردد، فدراسیونها میتوانند در کوتاهترین زمان ممکن و با بیشترین بهرهوری به وظایف خود عمل کنند و این میتواند الگویی برای سایر سازمانهای ورزشی در جامعه باشد. | ||
