Designing a Digital Human Resource Management Model in Iran's Sports System

Abstract

The present study aims to design a digital human resource management model for the country's sports system using the fuzzy Delphi method. Based on its objective, the research is developmental, and its methodology is descriptive and qualitative. In the first stage, indicators and dimensions were collected through documentary and library research, followed by the application of the fuzzy Delphi method. The statistical population for the qualitative approach consisted of 20 experts in sports management. A total of 23 models of digital human resource management and training with various components were presented, and the synthesis of these models identified five dimensions, 25 components, and 52 indicators. The five dimensions obtained included digital recruitment, employee socialization and alignment, performance management and compensation system, digital training and development, and digital retention and exit. The validity of the questionnaires in the qualitative section was confirmed using CVR and CVI methods with the input of sports management experts. In the quantitative section, validity was confirmed through factor analysis. The normality test of the questionnaire and its reliability, assessed using Cronbach's alpha, resulted in a value of 0.96, indicating high reliability. The analytical model was drawn using "path analysis" with SPSS and AMOS software. Finally, based on the obtained findings, research suggestions were presented.
