Abstract:
AbstractThe purpose of this study was to develop a structural model for identifying barriers to strategic planning in sport federations of Iran. The research method of this research is descriptive-analytical and in terms of applied field application. The statistical population of the study consisted of 200 managers and expert experts in sports federations. Sampling was done by total number and 177 questionnaires were collected. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire. The face validity and content of the questionnaire were confirmed by experts and its reliability was confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha on a 30-member sample with 82.2. For data analysis, descriptive statistics and inferential statistics of exploratory factor analysis, Friedman ranking test and structural equation modeling were performed using SPSS and Amos software version 23. The results showed that the 11 main factors hindering the implementation of strategic planning in selected sports federations of Iran Federations. Also, there are significant differences between the obstacles to implementing strategic planning in selected sports federations of Iran from the viewpoint of research samples, so that "management barriers" have the highest rank and "political and legal environment" have the lowest rank. Finally, the structural model of barriers to strategic planning implementation in Iran's sports federations has been developed and approved.

Additionally, there is a significant difference between the obstacles to implementing strategic planning in selected Iranian sports federations from the perspective of the research samples; such that "management obstacles" occupied the highest rank and "political and legal environment" occupied the lowest rank.
Others believe that strategic management is a process through which managers determine the long-term direction of organizational activities, specify particular operational goals, design strategies to achieve these goals considering internal and external conditions, and select operational plans for implementing strategies (Craciun et al.
Given the aforementioned points and the importance of implementing strategic plans in sports federations to improve the country's sports situation, and the lack of proper implementation and supervision of the implementation process of these plans, the present research seeks to identify the factors affecting the non-implementation of formulated strategies in sports federations and to provide solutions to remove these obstacles.
One of the obstacles to implementing strategic planning in selected Iranian sports federations is management factors.
Another obstacle in the implementation of strategic planning in selected Iranian sports federations was weakness in program formulation.
Another obstacle on the path of implementing strategic planning in selected Iranian sports federations was the lack of management stability.
Other identified obstacles in the path of implementing strategic planning in selected Iranian sports federations were the existence of financial and structural problems.
