The research method is descriptive and correlation based on the structural equation model. The statistical population of this study was all employees of sport and youth departments (Kermanshah, Kordestan, Hamedan, Lorestan and Ilam) (453 people), using 284 people who were selected using Krejcie and Morgan tables. For collecting data, three standard questionnaires of Intellectual Capital (Bontis) (1996), organizational agility Sharifi and Zhang (2001) and organizational performance of Yang et al. (2004) were used. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by the sports management professors and their reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test. The findings showed that organizational agility had a 59% positive and significant effect on organizational performance. Intellectual capital also had a 45% impact on performance as an intermediary variable, and the effect of organizational agility on intellectual capital was reported as 71%, which had the highest effect in the research model. The test results of the research model indices were fit for fit and the research model was confirmed. These findings suggest that, in sports and youth departments, senior managers can achieve better organizational performance by providing the necessary platforms for intellectual development and intellectual capital.

In this analytic- descriptive research, the statistical sample was equal to population (n=110), that it included total employees of sports and youth offices. The validity of EFQM questionnaire was confirmed by sport specialists and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha (α =0.91).

The results showed that, the mean of Organizational Excellence was (45/60) and the society results (58/62) &resources and commercial cooperations(33/70) criterion had highest and lowest scors. The highest crrolation was between customer and process & resources and employees results (r = 0/75) that was a good crrolation. The lowest crrolation was between resources and commercial cooperation & society results criterion(r = 0/38) that was a poor crrolation. Also sentences of 9 criteria were prioritized respectively. According to the 45/60 score in EFQM, we should pay attention to organizational excellence development in these offices. Also among these criterions according to the low mean of commercial cooperations citeria, we should focus on its development as well as try to keep on the highest criteria (society results).
