Designing the Communication Pattern of Managers' Synergy and Development of Sport Federations

Synergy is a clever management strategy that facilitates, accelerates, and ensures the achievement of organizational goals through the development of group thinking. The purpose of the present study was to design a synergistic communication model for managers and the development of sport federations. The present research was applied in terms of its purpose and cross-sectional descriptive in terms of depth of scope. The statistical population of this study consisted of 50 managers of sport federations who were selected as a statistical sample. The main research measurement tool was a researcher-made Questionnaire which was designed based on Bateman's (2002) Studies on Synergy and Evans and Jarvis (1986) study on Groupism and Adaptation from Locke & Crawford (2000) and Sung (2008) Studies on Organizational Development. The content and face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts and managers and also construct validity was approved using confirmatory factor analysis. The reliability of the questionnaire was calculated using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0.93). The findings of the study using structural equations and statistical techniques showed that the facilitation factor with path coefficient (0.95), cognition with path coefficient (0.91) and relationship (0.87) have a decisive role in the development of sport federations. Therefore, the scientific, professional, foresighted and cohesive attitude of the federation managers, inspired and modeled by the style and strategy of the global federations, is a bridge to a brighter horizon in sport and the future of sporting honors.
