For statistical inference, the data were analyzed by structural equation modeling using IBM Amos 23 software in two parts of the measurement model and structural part. . The results showed that strategic intelligence has a significant effect on organizational change capacity in sport organizations (p = 0.01). The role of moderating the legal environment in the impact of strategic intelligence on organizational change capacity was also meaningful, and the model derived from the legal environment, strategic impact, and organizational change capacity were adequate.

The research is descriptive and correlation. The statistical population was all the managers of sport. Due to the lack of accurate information on the number of communities, the statistical sample ceiling was considered to be 384 according to the Cochran formula. To collect data, the Kobasa (1979) Mental Identity, Nazari (2016) Management Skills, Houthun and Neck (2000) Self-management and Hsu (2002) Efficiently Performance were used. Ten sports management professors confirmed the formal and content validity of measurement tools. For reliability, after the preliminary studies, alpha coefficient was obtained (0.98, 0.99, 0.99 and 0.89) respectively for the questionnaires. All data were analyzed using the SPSS/19 and LasirL /8.54. The findings of the model of path analysis of the effect of mental strength, sport managers on management skills, between management skills and self-management, between self-management and functional efficiency at the level are significant. Perhaps it can be admitted that managers with high mental strength and management skills in the environment in which they work or the results that they achieve can lead to fundamental changes in the organization.
