Abstract

The aim of the present study was to develop human capital measurement model in Iran sports federations. This study was descriptive-correlation and an applied research. The statistical population included presidents, vice-presidents, general secretaries, committees' managers, coaches and experts in sports federations of Islamic Republic of Iran. The study sample consisted of 312 subjects who were selected with stratified and purposive sampling method. In order to collect data, a researcher-made questionnaire was used and for data analysis, both descriptive and inferential statistics were applied. Exploratory factor analysis of human capital indicators showed that this concept consisted of seven factors named motivation, management and leadership, knowledge and skills, competencies, commitment, experience, and entrepreneurship. The reliability of the questionnaire was 0.90. The results of factorial structure and confirmatory factor analysis of human capital showed that the model had a good fit and its factorial structure was acceptable (RMSEA=0.043، GFI=0.90). Furthermore, the model also had good divergent and convergent validity. Model and tools derived from this study can be served as a supplement to the financial reporting system and macro decision makings in sports federations.
