Abstract

The main objective of the present study was to evaluate effect of computer literacy on sport managers’ efficiency in Tehran province. A descriptive survey was used as methodology. Statistical population included all sport managers (including formal, contractual, and semi-formal) who were 709 people in Tehran. Sample size was calculated as 250 people using Cochran formula. Sampling was carried out by stratified randomized method (in two classes as 63 females and 187 males). Data were collected by an author-synthesized questionnaire that included 47 questions with Likert 5-point scale (reliability coefficient as a= 0.73). Data were analyzed using both descriptive (mean frequency distribution, standard deviation and mean deviation error) and inferential statistics (one sample t-test). Results indicated that computer literacy has effect on ability of role clarity, organizational support, motivation, validity, evaluation and environmental proportion of sport managers in Tehran.
