A Proposed Model of Professional Development for Enhancing Managerial Levels in Sports Institutions

Abstract

Objectives. Management has become a cornerstone and essential process upon which administrative bodies and personnel rely to achieve their goals across various sectors, including economic, social, military, educational, and governmental domains. It serves to fulfill both collective and individual needs and enhances human effort with the effectiveness necessary to drive social progress and promote human welfare. These efforts are grounded in legal principles, scientific foundations, and accumulated administrative experience.

In line with this perspective, the present study seeks to improve the administrative competencies of sports club employees. This is achieved by identifying the goals and importance of administrative training, assessing training needs, designing relevant training programs, and implementing a proposed model tailored to the needs of sports club staff.

Materials and Methods.To accomplish these aims, the research employed a descriptive survey method. The sample consisted of 120 administrators drawn from three sports clubs: Maysan Sports Club, Tigris Sports Club, and Maysan Oil Sports Club. Each club contributed 40 administrators from their respective sports activity departments, providing a balanced and representative sample for analysis.

Results. The results of the study demonstrated that well-structured administrative training programs contribute significantly to enhancing organizational efficiency and effectiveness. Moreover, such programs support the development of leadership skills and foster a culture of creativity and innovation among employees.

Conclusion Based on these findings, the study concludes that administrative training plays a vital role in elevating the performance of sports club staff. By aligning human resource capabilities with organizational goals, these programs help build stronger institutions and promote sustainable development in the sports sector.
