Abstract
The aim of this research was to design a model for human resource efficiency in the Federation of Deaf Sports using a combined approach of fuzzy Delphi and interpretive structural modeling. The research method was mixed (qualitative and quantitative). The participants of this research were managers and officials of the committees of the Federation of Deaf Sports of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as experts in deaf sports, including coaches, referees, and athletes. The selection of these individuals was purposeful, and 18 of them were selected based on criteria such as expertise, experience, representation, diversity, and collaboration capability. The data collection tools were a 41-item questionnaire and a 17×17 square matrix, which had been validated and proven reliable. Fuzzy Delphi and subsequently interpretive structural modeling were used for data analysis. It is worth mentioning that for the implementation of these analyses, Microsoft Excel and the web-based software SmartISM were used accordingly. The findings demonstrated 17 determining factors related to human resource efficiency in the Federation of Deaf Sports. Based on interpretive structural analysis, the relationships between these factors were classified into 5 levels, and a hierarchical relationship model was established, indicating that the fundamental factors in optimizing human resources in the Federation of Deaf Sports are the fit of authority-responsibility and organizational culture, which ultimately affect the individual's perception of their role at the highest level. Therefore, in planning for the optimization of human resources in the Federation of Deaf Sports,
