An Investigation into the Networking Capability of Sports Boards: A Business Approach

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 ۱۸۳۲ subjects, from which a sample of ۳۱۸ 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 ۲۶ 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 ۳ with ۹۵% 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.
