Development of structural equation models of Strategical Thinking and Organizational Agility in Selected Iranian Sports Federations

The Purpose of this Study was Development of Structural Equation Models of Strategical Thinking and Organizational Agility in Selected Iranian Sports Federations. The research method was Correlation Methods that used Structural Equation Models (Structal Equation & path diagram). the Measuring Instruments was Included Strategical Thinking Questionnaire (Liedtka, 1998) and Organization Agility Questionnaire (Spitzer, 2007).Validity of Questionnaires was face and Content and Cronbach's Alpha Coefficients Strategical Thinking Questionnaire was 0.96 and Organizational Agility Questionnaire was 0.96 Determined. The Statistical Population of this Research was Including 22 Islamic Republic of Iranian Selected Sport Federation and Statistical sample was 269 Experts and Executives of 22 of Iranian Selected Sport Federation was distributed byKrejcie and Morgan (1970) Table for Determining Sample Size to SimpleRandom Sampling thatwas analyzed by using LISREL Statistical Software. Results indicate that there was Impact Positive Significant the Elements of Strategic Thinking System Perspective (=β0.86), Intent Focus (=β0.91), Hypothesis Driven (=β0.87), Intelligent opportunism (=β0.92) andThinking in Time (=β0.88) on Strategical Thinking. That was Impact Positive Significant the Component Speed (=β0.92), Competency (=β0.92), Felxiability (=β0.85) and Responsiveness (=β0.85), on Organizational Agility (P>0.01).In totally that was Impact Positive Significant Strategical Thinking on Organizational Agility (=β0.86, t=17.82, P>0.01).Those Sequential Model Fitting Procedures Indicate Impacted Strategical Thinking on Organizational Agility in Selected Iranian Sports Federations. Therefore, by Setting Goals and Developing a Cohesive Strategically Thinking between Managers and Staffs ofSports Federations can be Identified Improving Organizational Agility in Sports Federations in the Future.
