Abstract: (11 Views) |
| The aim of this research was to develop a framework for the development of succession planning in the management system of sports organizations in Iran. This research was conducted using a qualitative method (grounded theory). The statistical population included all elites and experts in the field of sports in Iran, from among whom 15 individuals were selected as the sample using the convenience sampling method until theoretical saturation was reached, and data were collected through in-depth interviews. The findings indicated that 58 initial conceptual propositions were obtained. The paradigmatic model indicated that succession planning, based on the core phenomenon of meritocracy, is influenced by the central categories that emerged, and without their proper existence and functioning, meritocracy will not be realized in sports organizations. The findings also showed that the strategies of the succession planning model in sports organizations, in interaction and reaction with contextual and intervening factors, have led to individual and organizational consequences. Overall, it can be said that succession planning in sports organizations can be influenced by individual and organizational factors, and managers of sports organizations should take these factors into account in their succession planning management. |
