Main Article Content
Abstract
The study aimed to assess the administrative efficiency level of the leaders of some sports clubs in Diyala Governorate from the perspective of advanced football players. The researcher used the descriptive survey method as it is the most suitable approach to address the research problem. The research population consisted of the administrative leaders of some football clubs in Diyala Governorate, represented by five clubs: (Diyala, Al-Muqdadiya, Martyr Arkan, Al-Khalis, Baladruz). These leaders were evaluated by 90 football players, with 10 players randomly selected from each club, resulting in a total sample of 50 players, which constituted 55.55% of the population. The researcher concluded that establishing a strategic vision is of paramount importance for administrative leaders. A clear vision helps direct the energy, enthusiasm, and skills of members toward achieving well-defined goals, guiding the activities of the clubs and enhancing their ability to move in the right direction. A strategic vision becomes even more critical during periods of significant changes in the clubs, as it aids in defining the general direction of change, simplifying detailed decisions, and motivating staff to take appropriate, swift, and effective actions aligned with the declared direction. The study's sample demonstrated effective management across various fields, reflecting the administrators' clear understanding of its importance and role in enhancing club leaders' performance and advancing their work. Effective management in its diverse areas plays a vital role in maintaining a good level of administrative performance. The researcher recommends focusing on the development of administrative leadership in the sports field by organizing training courses and seminars. Additionally, conducting assessments and measurements during the selection of administrative leadership in sports institutions is essential. The researcher also suggests that club institutions should pay attention to all types of sports, both team and individual. Furthermore, similar studies should be conducted to explore the relationship between administrative leadership and other administrative skills for both genders.
