Strategic Plan and Performance of Selected Ethiopian Sports Federations

A strategic plan has a profound impact on a sport organization by providing direction, improving decision-making, allocating resources effectively, measuring performance, engaging stakeholders, creating a competitive advantage, and ensuring long-term sustainability. The objective of the study was to determine the relationship between the performance of a few selected Ethiopian sports federations and their strategic plan. A stratified sampling strategy was used to choose the study\`s population. The Ethiopian Football Federation and Ethiopian Athletics Federation were two of the sports federations considered in the study. In this study, a sample size of 95 respondents insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(n=95); was used. Focus group discussions and semistructured interviews were used to gather the data. The study\`s independent variable, which was measured by a structured questionnaire, was the strategy plan among the standardized questionnaires. The correlations were examined using an AMOS-generated structural equation model. The findings showed a moderately good link between organizational performance and the implementation of strategic planning practices in a few Ethiopian sports organizations. The results imply that the success of sports organizations can be significantly impacted by a well-developed strategic plan. The report suggested that selected Ethiopian sports federations establish quarterly meetings to give staff members a chance to voice concerns about the effectiveness of sports federations and strategic planning procedures.
