A Comparison of Managers of Iran's Physical Education Departments in Terms of their Awareness of Management Information Systems
2013
ABTRACT: The purpose of the present research was to compare the awareness of managers regarding management information systems (MIS). 210 strategic, middle, and executive managers of Iran’s physical education departments were selected as the sample. A questionnaire was developed with three subscales, i.e. economy, operations, and information, rated on the 5-point Likert scale. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-squared test, and Mann-Whitney U test. The results showed that strategic and executive managers were aware and middle managers were unaware of MIS. Moreover, a significant difference was observed between strategic and middle managers in the economic and operational domains. There was no significant difference between strategic and executive managers in terms of information. No significant difference was observed between middle and executive managers in the economic domain. There was also a significant difference between the awareness of middle and executive managers. Since adoption of MIS in sport organizations is imperative, further research must be carried out to increase managers’ awareness of this critical phenomenon.
