Abstract

Sports federations, as the main custodians of the growth and development of sports disciplines, must update themselves in accordance with the needs of the sports environment. This study was conducted with the aim of investigating the relationship between information and communication technology and organizational culture on the intelligent organization with the role of mediating organizational learning. This study was a quantitative study and its data collection tool was a questionnaire. The statistical population of this study consisted of heads, experts, and officials of Iranian sports federations. The results showed that ICT, organizational culture, and organizational learning have a significant effect on the intelligent organization. In addition, the relationship between organizational culture and the intelligent organization with the role of mediating organizational learning was also reported to be significant, but the relationship between ICT and the intelligent organization with the role of mediating organizational learning was not significant. Finally, according to the results of the study, it can be concluded that sports federations, like other organizations, should consider factors affecting intelligence, improve internal and external communications, and emphasize the formation of an organizational learning culture in order to grow and improve their services to society.
