Presenting a performance management model for the development of women's cycling with an interpretive structural approach

The purpose of the research was to provide a performance management model for the development of women's cycling with an interpretative structural approach.

This research is practical in terms of purpose, and the research data was collected in the field and in a mixed way (qualitative and quantitative). The statistical population in the qualitative section was 18 experts and in the quantitative section, there were 74 people in the women's section. Due to the limited number of members, the population was equal to the sample. The research tool in the first part was a researcher-made questionnaire, and in the second part, a structured self-interaction questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 10 sports management professors and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test (α = 0.88). Interpretive structural modeling technique was used to structure the components.

The findings showed that the performance management of the federation in the development of women's cycling has 9 components and 35 indicators, and the components were structured in six levels. The components of financial resources and the growth-creating and motivational system were placed at the infrastructure level and executive processes at the first level of the model.

It can be said that incentive mechanisms, development of learning and marketing capacities, income generation and attraction of financial sponsors, creation or strengthening of other management components of cycling federation's performance in the development of this sport among women will facilitate and develop This sport will help.
