Abstract

The purpose of this research was to investigate the mediating role of shared leadership in the relationship between organizational capacity and types of innovation in non-profit sports organizations. The research was a descriptive-correlation type that was conducted in the field. 320 questionnaires were purposefully distributed among the members of the sports boards of the northwestern provinces of the country, and at the end, 236 correct questionnaires were collected. The research tools included organizational capacity, organizational innovation and shared leadership questionnaires. MPlus software was used to analyze the research data with maximum likelihood estimation by strong standard error. The results showed that all dimensions of organizational capacity, except financial capacity, had a significant relationship with administrative innovation. In contrast, human capacity and planning capacity had no significant relationship with technical innovation. Also, a significant relationship was found between all dimensions of organizational capacity with shared leadership. But there was no significant relationship between financial capacity and shared leadership. shared leadership was also significantly related to both types of administrative innovation and technical innovation. The evaluation of the hypothesized indirect effects showed that shared leadership has a mediating effect on the relationship between organizational capacity and administrative and technical innovations. But the mediating effect of shared leadership on the relationship between financial capacity and administrative and technical innovation was not confirmed. This research highlighted that the distribution of leadership responsibilities and the participation of members in the organization's decisions increases the possibility of using organizational capacities to improve all types of innovation.
