Abstract:   (2971 Views)
 In recent years, human resources have gained a central position in organizations. They are considered as a strategic factor to manage organizations and some call it a unique asset of an organization or a strategic weapon which makes competitive advantage. The aim of this study was to determine the strategic position and existing and desirable status of empowering employees in Sport and Youth general office in Alborz province. The statistical population consisted of 134 managers and experts from Sport and Youth general office in Alborz province and according to the Morgan table, 97 subjects were selected as the sample. Interviews and a researcher-made questionnaire were used to collect data. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 10 professors and its reliability was calculated as 0.84 using Cronbach's alpha coefficient. To analyze the data, Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, paired t test, Friedman test and Chi square test were used. Results showed a significant difference between existing and desirable status of empowering employees in Sport and Youth general office in Alborz province including strengths (P<0.001, t= - 8.18), weaknesses (P<0.001, t= - 9.83), opportunities (P<0.001, t= - 8.89) and threats (P<0.001, t= - 7.88). The location of employee empowerment was in conservative status, which was the most appropriate strategy (WO) to empower employees. As the existing status of empowering employees is far from the desired status, it is necessary to pay strict attention to provide suitable approaches, to bridge the gap between existing and desired status of empowering employees and to create strategic plans.
Keywords: desirable status, empowerment, existing status, strategy, SWOT.
