Abstract

The purpose of this review article was to review and explain the importance of establishing a meritocracy system in sports organizations. Various databases in 2021 were used to collect information and access the results of the latest research. A search of keywords in these sites found 95 related articles. By further reviewing the articles and removing the useless and old articles from the study cycle, 54 articles were approved and used. The author studied and reviewed the content, extracted concepts, and the most important findings of research and meta-analysis. Evidence suggests a lack of meritocracy culture and over-emphasis on evidence and centralism, centralized management, bureaucracy, instability in managerial careers, reliance on quantity and short-term goals, traditional management practices, indifference to research, indifference to managers’ performance, and such issues have been one of the most important challenges in establishing a meritocracy system in organizations. Managers of sports organizations must have competencies such as knowledge of business rules and processes, knowledge of sports rules, supervision and management of human resources, communication skills and public relations and technology, technical skills in the field of sports, personal and ethical characteristics, economy and finance leadership and management skills, intelligence and political awareness.
