Abstract
Objective: This research was conducted to design a human resource management model for the Iranian Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation in the digital age.
Methodology: The methodology employed was qualitative with a thematic analysis approach. Participants included experienced sports management professors with relevant educational and research backgrounds and experienced managers and experts from the Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation. Based on theoretical saturation criteria and using purposeful sampling, 14 interviews were conducted. The main research tool was semi-structured exploratory interviews. Feedback was provided to participants, and non-influential narratives were sought to enhance internal validity. Additionally, intra-subject agreement was confirmed.
Results: According to the findings, three prominent and influential indices of the human resource management of the Bodybuilding and Physical Fitness Federation in the digital age include digital culture, digital communications, and managerial processes. The findings indicate that digital culture encompasses technology acceptance, information protection, process advancement, promotion of participatory culture, work flexibility, data analysis capabilities enhancement, and training and awareness. The digital communications index includes components such as network structure, human resource management systems, quality of social media, video conferencing, and online training. Additionally, managerial processes include components such as evaluation systems, monitoring systems, reward and incentive systems, and recruitment and hiring systems.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, human resources personnel should be fully acquainted with digital indices in the modern era. Utilizing online training to enhance the skills of managerial staff and coaches of the Iranian Bodybuilding and Physical Fitness Federation and establishing an internal network for better communication and coordination among federation members can effectively improve human resource management and organizational performance.
