Constructing a Scale of Administrative Talent among Members of Administrative Boards in Fencing Clubs in Baghdad Governorate

Abstract

This study aims to construct a scientific scale of administrative talent and identify its level among members of administrative boards in fencing clubs in Baghdad Governorate. The descriptive survey approach was used. The research population consisted of all (35) administrative board members in five fencing clubs (Al-Shorta, Al-Jaish, Al-Kahrabaa, Al-Etisalat, and Dijlah University), from which a sample of (30) administrators was selected. A standardized scale was developed consisting of five main domains: (Administrative Innovation, Organizational Effectiveness, Problem Solving, Strategic Planning, and Leadership and Influence), with (20) initial items, reduced to (18) final items after excluding two. The scale underwent expert validation and pilot testing, yielding a Cronbach’s alpha of (0.88). The results revealed a high overall level of administrative talent, with statistically significant differences among clubs in favor of Al-Shorta Club. The study recommends adopting targeted professional development programs based on precise scientific evaluation for each club.
