Recognition and Optimization of Indices Affecting Organizational Behavior in Iranian Sport Based on Principles of Sustainable Development (Case Study: Tennis Sports)

The implementation of the principles of sustainable development in sport has been emphasized by the International Olympic Committee. The purpose of this study was to identify and optimize the indices and components affecting organizational behavior in tennis. This research is a descriptive-survey research that used to design basic conceptual model and determine three main dimensions (managerial/ social, cultural/ environmental, health) and 13 components (purpose) to determine the validity and reliability of the model and its fit. The initial model of the research was tested and tested using SEM using Smart PLS2 software. The model was then fitted at three levels: the fitting of the measurement model, the fitting of the structural model, and the general fitting of the model (GOF). The results showed that "social / cultural dimension" (path coefficient = 0.645) had the highest effect on the desired pattern. Then, "approach / management dimension" (path coefficient = 0.558) and finally "environmental dimension / health" (path coefficient = 0.554) affect the sustainable development of sport in the country.R2 value(0.989) indicates pattern confirmation. Both indices in all three constructs were positive and greater than zero (common = 0.6785) and redundancy (0.432) resulting in overall fit of measurement model (good quality of measurement model) and structural model (high ability of structural model in predicting).The overall fit of the model was 0.6987, indicating a strong fit to the overall model.The model presented for the principles of sustainable sport development is based on the Agenda 21 of the Olympic Movement and the Rio Declaration.
