ABSTRACT
This study aims to identify the relationship between the level of administrative
performance and the level of administrative creativity among of the administrative
members of the Golden Square clubs in the Iraqi league. Additionally, it sought to
identify differences in the level of managerial performance and managerial
creativity among the administrative members of the Golden Square Clubs in the
Iraqi League based on the variables of educational qualification and specialization.
To achieve this objective, the study was carried out with a sample of forty-eight (48)
administrative members of the Golden Square Clubs. Two study instruments were
prepared for data collection. The first instrument was the managerial performance
tool consisting of 39 items distributed across four areas (planning, organizing and
coordinating, directing and controlling, communication and decision-making). The
second instrument was the managerial creativity tool consisting of 38 items
distributed across four areas (encouraging creativity, problem-solving and
decision-making, adaptability to change, spirit of risk-taking). The results of this
study indicated that the managerial performance of the administrative members in
the Golden Square Clubs was high, with a response rate of 74.93%. However,
managerial creativity among the administrative members in Iraqi sports clubs was
average, with a response rate of 71.23%. These results also revealed a statistically
significant positive correlation at a significance level of 0.05 between the level of
managerial performance and managerial creativity among the administrative
members in Iraqi sports clubs. The correlation coefficient was high, reaching a
value of 0.84. Furthermore, the study identified statistically significant differences
at a significance level of 0.05 in the level of managerial performance among the
administrative members in Iraqi sports clubs, attributed to the variables of
educational qualification and specialization.
Keywords: Administrative performance, administrative creativity, Managerial
performance, Managerial creativity, Golden Square Clubs, Iraqi league.
INTRODUCTION
Management is the foundation of successful operations in any sports organization. The aim of
management is to achieve goals with the least possible effort, time, and financial resources. The
success of sports entities, whether it be the Olympic Committee, sports federations, sports
clubs, or various administrative bodies, is attributed to the success of management in these
institutions. Conversely, failure is often linked to poor management.
Abdel Maqsoud and Al-Shafei [1] point out that the science of management, in general, aims to
organize human resources to achieve the overall goals of an institution. Management science is
interconnected with various disciplines, including law, economics, sociology, health, and other
sciences. Professionals in the field of management require a diverse set of skills, including
specific personal attributes and accumulated experiences that enable them to fulfill their
managerial duties in accordance with the institution's philosophy. This should align with
technical and professional trends, ultimately leading to the production of quality outputs that
positively impact the institution, its management, staff, and targeted channels.
The importance of the study lies in giving a clear vision of the reality of administrative
performance and the level of administrative creativity among administrative members in order
to advance Iraqi sports clubs; in contributing to determining the relationship between the level

research and studies in this field based on the theoretical framework of the study and the
reached results.
Sports clubs need to keep pace with scientific developments in various fields, especially in the
field of modern management. Clubs also must keep pace with development, philosophy, and
modern administrative directives in order to be able to achieve the required goals and
requirements, and because of the importance of management in the success and ensuring the
continuity of the sports institution, and the fact that the performance of the administrative
members contributes significantly to the continuity of the work and success of these clubs.
Creativity in renewing, developing, and solving the problems facing the administration, looking
comprehensively at all matters, and linking and analyzing things together to produce
achievements and achieve the set goals is considered one of the very important matters .
Through the researcher's knowledge of some relevant studies and research, and given the
importance of the topic and the lack of studies, the problem of the study appeared for the
