All of the staff members in that organization were selected for participating in this work; however, since the rate of returning questionnaires was 88.6%, this research work was implemented with 233 staff members. Four questionnaires were used in this work in order to measure the perceived organizational image, job satisfaction, organizational commitment, and self-development behaviors. The SPSS and Amos Graphic softwares were also employed in this work in order to analyze the data as well as the structural equation modeling.
Result and Conclusions

In addition, job satisfaction and organizational commitment with the regression cofficients of 0.66 and 0.54, respectively, directly affected the staff’s self-development behaviors. Furthermore, the perceived organizational image, in two different paths, with mediating the job satisfaction (β = 0.59) and the organizational commitment (β = 0.51) improved the staff’s self-development behaviors. Also, in one path, the perceived organizational image increased the staff’s self-development behaviors with mediating the job satisfaction and organizational commitment (β = 0.46). Based on the results obtained, attempting to improve the perceptions and staff’s perceived organizational images in sport organizations could improve their self-development behaviors in addition to develop the important career attitudes, which lead to increase the job performances and improve the organizational efficiency.
