Abstract

The purpose of this research was to design a simulation model for the development of organizational spirituality in sports organizations. This study is done from the point of view of the goal of an exploratory research that is mixed with the research method and based on deductive-inductive reasoning. The statistical population of the research includes 12 theoretical experts (university professors) and practical experts (managers of sports organizations). Sampling is a non-probability and purposeful method, and it is a tool for data collection, interview and questionnaire. To analyze the specialized interviews, the theme analysis method has been used. And then the relationship model has been tested by the Dematel method. Finally, the development model of organizational spirituality has been simulated using the factor based modeling approach. The analysis of the research data was done in the qualitative phase with Maxqda20 software and in the quantitative phase with Excel and AnyLogic software. Based on the research results, 46 primary codes, 10 sub themes and 4 main themes were counted. Also, the simulation results showed that the presented model can provide an appropriate estimate of the future of organizational spirituality development in sports organizations.
