Abstract
Introduction :Human resource development is regarded as one of the most critical distinguishing factors of effective and efficient organizations. This research aimed to design a human resource development model for the Tehran Municipality Sports Organization based on a management coaching approach.
Methods : The study employed a qualitative, exploratory-fundamental methodology. The statistical population comprised specialists, knowledgeable elites, and experts with management experience in sports management and human resource management. Participants were selected using purposive sampling, and data were collected through semi-structured interviews. Following grounded theory and a classical approach, the data were coded and analyzed.
Results: Analysis of the interviews yielded 105 conceptual codes grouped into five main categories: the heart of coaching, the engine of coaching, the foundations of coaching success, the roadmap of coaching, and the fuel of coaching. These categories are influential in developing human resources within the Tehran Municipal Sports Organization through a managerial coaching approach.
Conclusion : The results, presented as a model, offer a clear representation of the factors affecting human resource development in the Tehran Municipal Sports Organization using a managerial coaching approach. Applying these factors individually or collectively can enhance human resource management, improve the overall performance of the municipal sports organization, and support the achievement of development goals related to human resources.
