Abstract
The aim of this research was to identify and explain the key factors of strategic human resource management and professional ethics on the organizational performance of sports organizations. The present study was conducted using a sequential exploratory and quantitative research method. The statistical population of this research included all administrative and academic experts in the field of sports management in Mazandaran province with work experience and consultancy. Based on the snowball sampling method, 20 individuals were selected as the sample, and the research tool was a structured questionnaire (hierarchical questionnaire) with good validity and reliability (Cronbach's alpha less than 0.70). Data analysis of the research hypotheses was done using the AHP technique and the expert choice 11 software. The results of the research showed that among various criteria, four main components were identified for the key factors of strategic human resource management, including delegation of authority, active participation, information sharing, and specific reward allocation. Additionally, the key components of professional ethics were identified as responsibility, excellence and competitiveness, respect for values and social norms.
