Abstract:
Background. The behavior and attitudes of employees with Plateauing not only include themselves, but also makes all members of the group in which they work to ask whether they are really suitable for the organ in which they work.
Objectives. This study is to design a model of Plateauing of employees of departments of Youth and Sport of northwestern provinces of Iran.
Methods. In the present study, a mixed strategy (quantitative and qualitative data), in-depth interviewing in the qualitative sector and exploratory factor analysis was used. The construct validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha of 0.839 and according to Krejcie Morgan table, a sample size of 181 individuals was determined through cluster sampling. A total of 63 indicators were identified as influencing factors on the Plateauing of the employees of departments of Youth and Sports of northwestern provinces in the form of an 11 sub-factors and five main factors.
Results. Investigating exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation analysis showed that each of the main factors of skill factor (lack of technical skills and lack of work maturity) (p<0.05; T=11.07), psychological factor (lack of personal motivation, lack of external reward) (p<0.05; T=11.93), inside work factor (lack of job flexibility, lack of job transparency, and lack of promotion) (p<0.05; T=13.56), intra organizational factor (lack of proper training and lack of work communication) (p<0.05, T=14.82), and managerial factor (lack of manager support and dissatisfaction with management style) (p<0.05; T=14.49), are respectively influencing the Plateauing of the employees of departments of Youth and Sports of northwestern provinces.
Conclusion. It should be mentioned that by increasing organizations with flat structure and decreasing management positions at the medium level, the possibility of vertical promotion of employees in organizations has been decreased. The prevalence of organizational Plateauing is one of the consequences of failure to compete for tenure of jobs at organizational levels, so it is clear that performing repetitive tasks and working in uniform jobs increases the phenomenon of occupational Plateauing
Machine summary:
However, some deficiencies can be observed in employees’ performance and its effects on people's and professional athletes' dissatisfaction with the sport's status in the northwest which could be associated with Plateauing, that is, in the organizational environment due to working conditions and other factors and that there may not be a good promotion status in the organization, and employees in the path of progression and complement come to a point where the possibility of promotion is decreased.
(View the image of this page) As shown in the Table 5 and Figure 4, since the t-statistic value in the structural equation, the effect of lack of personal motivation and lack of external reward on the psychological dimension of employee Plateauing is 3.
Results indicate the influence of skill factors (lack of technical skill and lack of work maturity); psychological factors (lack of personal motivation, lack of external reward); inside work factors (lack of job flexibility, lack of job transparency and lack of promotion possibility; intra organizational factors (deficiency of good training and lack of work communication) and management factors (lack of manager support and dissatisfaction with management style) in employee Plateauing of the Departments of Sports and Youth in the northwestern provinces of the country and confirm the Plateauing model.
