Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the economic factors affecting the success of selected countries participating in the 2019 CISM Competition. The purpose of this study was descriptive-analytical. The statistical population of this study is 117 countries that participated in this competition, from which 15 countries were selected as a statistical sample. Findings showed that the correlation coefficient between the variables is positive and significant. The relationship between unemployment variables and Gini coefficient with performance is significant. But there is no significant relationship between GDP and inflation with performance. The results obtained from regression show that 64.5% of the changes in the dependent variable are explained by independent variables and the remaining 35.5% are related to other factors that were not examined in this test. Also, the findings of the structural equation model showed that unemployment and Gini coefficient have a significant effect on the sporting success of selected countries participating in CISM at the level of (0.01). The results also showed that GDP and inflation do not have a significant effect on the sporting success of selected countries participating in the CIS.
