Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to develop and apply an organizational excellence scale for sports club management and to identify the level of organizational excellence in sports clubs from the perspective of administrative members in Maysan Governorate. Materials and Methods: This study used a descriptive survey design. The research population consisted of 171 members of sports club administrative bodies in Maysan Governorate. The sample was divided into an exploratory sample of 11 members, a scale-construction sample of 90 members, and an application sample of 70 members. The Organizational Excellence Scale was developed through expert validation, item analysis, internal consistency testing, and reliability analysis. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Results: The Organizational Excellence Scale consisted of 32 items distributed across eight domains: clarity of goals, organizational trust, morale, adaptability, resource utilization, cohesion, creativity, and problem-solving. The application results showed a high level of organizational excellence, with a mean score of 82.765 compared with a hypothetical mean of 64. Most respondents were classified at the high level, followed by the very high and medium levels. Conclusions: The developed scale showed acceptable psychometric indicators and can be used to assess organizational excellence in sports clubs. The findings indicate that sports clubs in Maysan Governorate generally demonstrate a high level of organizational excellence, although continued improvement is needed in administrative coordination, resource utilization, and institutional development.

Abstract

Objectives: This study aimed to develop two scales for measuring administrative creativity and decision-making among coaches of Iraqi Elite Handball League clubs, identify their levels, and examine the role of administrative creativity in supporting coaches’ decision-making. Materials and Methods: This study used a descriptive survey design with a correlational approach. The population consisted of 196 players from Iraqi Elite Handball League clubs during the 2024–2025 season. The sample was divided into an exploratory sample of 14 players, a scale-construction sample of 112 players, and an application sample of 70 players. Two scales were developed: the Administrative Creativity Scale and the Decision-Making Scale. Validity was examined through expert judgment, item discrimination, and internal consistency, while reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha. Data were analyzed using SPSS and Microsoft Excel. Results: The final Administrative Creativity Scale consisted of 80 items across seven domains, while the Decision-Making Scale consisted of 56 items across five domains. The administrative creativity level was moderate, with a mean score of 267.814, while the decision-making level was high, with a mean score of 203.85. Most coaches were perceived to have moderate administrative creativity and high decision-making ability. Conclusions: The two developed scales were valid and reliable for measuring administrative creativity and decision-making among elite handball coaches. Administrative creativity appears to support decision-making by helping coaches generate alternatives, adapt to match situations, and select appropriate solutions under competitive pressure.
