Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of training and workgroups on mediating the role of organizational commitment on empowerment to predict the job performance of selected sports federations and design its model. The research method is based on a paradigm and considered as trans-positivist research. In terms of strategy and hypotheses, it is descriptive-survey and causal. The statistical population of the study includes the employees of Sports federations in iran. The sampling method in current study was Simple Random Sampling. The cluster sampling method and sample size were determined 115 by Sample Size Determination in Structural Equations and by preprocessing. The validity of the questionnaires were evaluated based on the experts’ opinions in the field of sport management in terms of form and content. After some modifications, the Content Validity Index (CVI) and Content Validity Ratio (CVR) were calculated.The reliability was tested by Cronbach’s alpha Coefficient. The results of data analysis by SPSS and SmartPLS software packages revealed that the Staff training has a significant positive effect on staff empowerment (β = 0/416, t.value = 5.497). On the other hand, organizational commitment has a significant effect on empowerment (β = 0.422, t.value = 5.643). Finally, empowerment influences the job performance of selected sports federations through the influence of training, teamwork, and mediating organizational commitment (β=0.404,t.value=6.002). The variables of staff training and organizational commitment have a very moderate contribution to predicting the empowerment behavior of the staff of the selected sports federations.The adequacy of model was also estimated by the Goodness of Fit test (GOF=0.50), which was an acceptable value.
