"com Received: 02/02/2017 Accepted: 22/07/2017 Human Resource Development Indicators for the Iranian Judo Federation 1Mohammad Ali Noudehi, 1Morteza Doosti*, 1Seyed Mohammad Hossein Razavi, 1Masomeh Kalateseifari 1Department of Sport Management, Faculty of Sport Sciences, University of Mazandaran, Babolsar, Iran.
According to the results, motivation is the most important factor for the development of human resources and the Judo Federation authorities need to focus attention on motivational strategies to enhance performance and develop their country’s human resources in this particular sport.
The present study is important and necessary because firstly, in recent years, judo as a sport in Iran has faced many issues in quantitative and qualitative development, and secondly, no specific scientific research has been done with regard to human resource development of judo in the country.
DISCUSSION Based on the results of this study, the four indicators identified for the development of human resources in the Judo Federation are as follows: the first priority was related to "motivating the human resources" with a factor loading of 0.
Hashemi and PoorAminzad (2011) and Filo, Cuskelly, and Wicker (2015) suggested that for the development of human resources, managers should try to hire professional and competent staff, then motivate them and provide some opportunities for knowledge and skill improvement.
Accordingly, keeping in mind the current situation of judo in Iran, the Federation’s authorities should focus on different aspects of this sport, mainly motivating individuals (including the athletes, coaches, referees, and other employees), training them, and impr oving their level of knowledge and skills, assessment of their performance, and employing a qualified workforce."
