ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial validity of the eight-factor model of sport organizational effectiveness scale developed by Shilbury and Moore (2006). This instrument consists of 65 items that assess eight composite effectiveness dimensions pertinent to the operation of sport organizations: Flexibility, Resources, Planning, Productivity, Availability of Information, Stability, Skilled Workforce and Cohesive Workforce. The competing value approach (CVA) was used as a theoretical framework for developing this scale. Data were obtained from respondents affiliated with 6 Iranian sport federations with a questionnaire. Results indicated that the eight-factor model of effectiveness is an effective instrument to assess the organizational performance of non-profit sport federations. The application of the CVA in studying sport organizational effectiveness was also confirmed.
