desired commercial advantages, but also they lead to other innovations and inventions
as well (Amishi et al. 2009). In fact, entrepreneurship culture includes creativity and
innovation, set of values, attitudes, norms and behaviors which form one’s identity.
Creative and entrepreneur people adopt a different view towards their surrounding
phenomena and in this way, they are able to initiate entrepreneurial activities in order
to develop new products or services for their society.
Among the attributes of an entrepreneur person, it can be referred to creativity,
innovation, risk taking, toleration of ambiguity, failure toleration, courage, internal
control, self-confidence, flexibility, prudence and independence (Zivdar, 2009). In this
regard, most definitions of entrepreneurship include innovation, opportunity and
perspective or outlook. Sports related entrepreneurship covers different organizational,
personnel and team levels. In fact when generate innovation and creativity they are
considered as entrepreneurs. Similarly, in terms of sports entrepreneurs are players,
owners of sport teams, sport representatives and owners of sports related businesses
and industries (Morvy et al. 2010). From their view, sports related entrepreneurship
includes a group of people, organizations or communities who work together in teams
for fulfillment of opportunities.
Sports are considered as a very important and basic factor for securement of a
society’s health and exhilaration and are effective on national productivity and
economical bloom. With respect to extensive dimensions of sports, it can be identified
as one of the fastest economic, social and political sections of the world. Many of sports
events are filled with job opportunities and achievements. In other words, increased
entrepreneurial processes in sports and sport events are creating a form of new job
opportunities (Vakili, 2013). By identification of contexts of entrepreneurship in sports,
we can provide entrepreneurs with new opportunities which can be made use of
towards obtaining social and economic development (Elham, 2014).
The industry of sports provides the necessary contexts for entrepreneurship
through creation of demand for sports products and services. On the other hand,
through creation and development of sports related businesses in terms of production
of sports equipment, entrepreneurship helps with advancement and growth of sports.In
order to develop entrepreneurship in sports, first we are required to recognize effective
structural and contextual elements and afterwards, plans must be developed for
creation of effective structures and contexts in sports entrepreneurship according to
different sports entrepreneurial objectives. Nevertheless, recognition of elements,
determination of objectives and planning in sports industry are tasks of sports
managers (Vakili, 2013).

Nowadays, sports is considered as one of the most valuable and extensive types
of entertainment in international markets. The special culture which is dominant in
extensive sport concepts reveals the unique characteristics of financial economy in this
section (Izadian et al. 2008). In fact, most sport events include a large variety of job
opportunities and achievements. In other words, increased entrepreneurial processes in
sports and sport events create a variety of new job opportunities (Farahani, 2006). In
fact, throughout the whole globe, sport is considered as an industry with most of its
products being exercising, physical fitness and free-time related activities. These
activities, products, services etc. have provided a great variety of productions and
customers for the industry of sports (Khalil Zadeh et al. 2013).
On this basis, organizational structure is considered as a way or method for
dividing, organizing and synchronizing organizational activities. Organizations create
structures for synchronization of activities of each element as well as actions of each
participant (Arabi, 2007; P15).The fundamental fact is that there exists a mutual relation
between business strategies and organizational structure. Considering this interactive
relation, the more organizational structure is consistent with the organization’s business
strategy, more effectively implementation of strategies take place.
Organizations must provide the contexts for dominance of entrepreneurial
atmosphere and spirit throughout the entire organization so that people are able to
undertake entrepreneurial activities individually or in groups. For this very reason,
different organizations tend to propagate entrepreneurial activities among their
employees. One of the most important factors for facilitation of entrepreneurship in an
organization is having a structure consistent with objectives and goals. An organization
with entrepreneurial intentions should benefit from a flexible and entrepreneurial
structure. Necessary contexts for entrepreneurial activities do not form in vacuum;
rather organizational structure should provide the necessary contexts for emergence of
such an atmosphere (Sadie, 2012). Therefore, recognition of those factors which play a
significant role in development of an entrepreneurial atmosphere is a major issue which
should be considered in every organization.
Different scholars have provided different definitions for entrepreneurship.
According to the view held by shanp and Vankataraman (2000), entrepreneurship is a
process which explores, evaluates and exploits the opportunities for production of
future products and services. In fact, they view entrepreneurship as development of
new economic activities based on new services or products. From the view held by
Hisriche, Peters and Shepherd (2005), entrepreneurship is defined as the process of
creation of new services or products accompanied by risk taking and financial awards.
Turner (2005) defines entrepreneurship as a subject including belief, searching,
European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science - Volume 2 │ Issue 5 │ 2016

opportunity exploitation and maximization of values. Tina Selig (2003) believes that
entrepreneurship is a managerial style that includes pursuit of opportunities
irrespective of already in control resources (quoted by Seifi et al. 2003).
Furthermore, researchers consider organizational entrepreneurship as a growth
strategy and an effective instrument for obtaining competitive advantage (Dess, 2009).
Findings of previous studies manifest that there exists a tight relation between inter
organizational elements and creation of an entrepreneurial atmosphere (Hansby et al.
2002). On this basis, this research has investigated one of the most important interorganizational elements namely as organizational structure and its dimensions.
Organizational structure along with objectives, technology and human resources is
considered as a main pillar in every organization. Organizational structure points to the
formed and regulated aspects of existing relations among components of an organized
system. Recognition and investigation of organizational structure is the initiative of
every type of exploitation of organizational resources, becoming able to recognize
opportunities, providing new combinations of existing resources and ultimately,
providing the contexts for organizational development. Baron (1998) conducted a study
and showed that desirable reduction of formality and focus in bureaucratic processes
leaves positive effects on creativity and efficiency among the personnel (Quoted by
Gohari Pour, 2010). Landers et al. (2003) carried out a study and claimed that in
organizational posts with reduced focus level, people tend to share more ideas and
information and therefore, result in creation of creative views. Reza Zadeh (2004)
carried out a research and revealed that a negative significant relation exists between
organizational structure (formality, complexity and focus) and organizational
entrepreneurship. Omidi (2007) carried out a research and claimed that there are no
significant relations between complexity of organizational structure and creativity
among staff managers; however, a negative significant relation exists between
formality, focus and education and creativity among staff managers of the department
of physical education.
Although most organizations and governmental systems including department
of education, department of science, research and technology, labor department, armed
forces and etc. all have a deployed and independent activity in terms of physical
education and sports, but in general all affairs related to physical education and sports
in Iran are the responsibilities of sport and youth office (Husseini et al. 2007). The
department of sport and youth is the main prosecutor of sports in Iran and has major
impacts in this field in a way that, dynamicity of this office is followed by growth and
efflorescence of sports and ultimately, macro development of the whole country (Asadi
et al. 2009). With respect to importance of sports entrepreneurship and development of

sports for every community, a necessity is felt for recognition of negative and positive
effective elements on entrepreneurship in this domain. Therefore, recognition of
opportunities and problems faced by entrepreneurs in sports helps us towards effective
establishment of general business plans, planning for establishment of entrepreneurial
activities, assessment of globalization challenges such as quality of produces sports
related goods, anticipation of market changes and optimized implementation of
technology for obtaining competitive marginality.
In this regard, the necessary fact is that there exists a mutual relationship
between business strategy and organizational structure. With respect to this interactive
relation, the more the consistence between organizational structure and business
strategies; the more effectively the selected strategy is executed.
Although that many researchers have performed studies regarding the relation
between structure and strategy, none of previous studies have elaborated directly on
the interactive relationship between the former and latter factors based on focus and
control degree. Focus and control are used for categorization of different types of
strategies and structures. In fact, no previous studies have considered this type of
categorization based on these two mutual factors. In this research, the author tries to
investigate previous similar studies before establishing a general categorization for the
relation between organizational structure and entrepreneurship in Kurdistan province’s
sport and youth offices. For this categorization, we have made use of two referential
strategic points including focus and degree of control. In addition, results of this study
can be applied for the department of sport and youth of Kurdistan Province, Iran so
that the findings of the study are used for optimization of performance according to the
amount of type of need.
2. Methodology
The present research is an applied descriptive-correlative study and its population
includes the entire experts, managers, authorities and associates of sport and youth
offices of Kurdistan province as 250 individuals. According to the Morgan Chart, a
number of 148 individuals were selected as the sample of study. Data collection
instruments included Stephen and Robins’ questionnaire of organizational structure
and Lurch’s questionnaire of organizational entrepreneurship. Furthermore, descriptive
statistics have been made use of in order to categorize raw scores, design tables,
determine the distribution of abundance, drawing cylindrical diagrams and calculation
of dispersion indexes including average, standard deviation, analysis of demographic
features and obtaining response means. Additionally, Kronbach’s alpha coefficient test

was used for determination of reliability of questionnaires. In addition, normality of
data distributions was determined through K-S test. With respect to normality of data,
the tests of person’s correlation coefficient and linear regression were used for analysis
of statistical data. It is worth mentioning that the entire statistical analyses have been
performed with SPSS v.23.

Table 1 shows that the obtained significance value is smaller than 0.05; on this basis the
null-hypothesis is rejected and instead, the reverse hypothesis is accepted. in other
words, with a 95% confidence, it can be said that a significant negative relationship
exists between organizational structure and organizational entrepreneurship in
Kurdistan Province’s sport and youth office. On the other hand, the obtained
determination coefficient shows that 0.0539% of the changes in organizational structure
are anticipated by entrepreneurship. By this, it is meant that the simpler the

Discussion and conclusions
Results of correlation test showed that there exists a negative significant relationship
between entrepreneurship and organizational structure in Kurdistan province’s sport
and youth offices. This results is consistent with the results obtained by
NikNahad(2014); Moosavi Rad (2012); Seifi et al. (2015); Alimardani et al. (2014);
Arabioon et al. (2012); Yadollahi et al. (2010); Reza Zadeh et al. (2010); Yao et al. (2009);
Pihe (2011) and Tucker and Cellcoock (2008). Organizational entrepreneurship is a
method for provoking and exploiting people in an organization. A way people think
that they are able to do things better and differently. In this regard, development of
entrepreneurship spirit within organizations can be beneficial towards overcoming the
upcoming challenges. Training entrepreneurs within an organization requires a suitable
context along propagation of entrepreneurship spirit (Robins, 2002).
In terms of structure, every organization must have formality and if that
formality is clear for the personnel, different activities can be done. However, one must
try to keep the amount of this formality in a relatively suitable condition so that it
would not be transformed in excessive caution. On the other hand, since the office of
sports and youth in Iran is a governmental organization and received a precise amount
of budget, then formality of this organizational structure might have a negative effect
on entrepreneurship in these offices. Entrepreneurship is sports organizations is
dynamic and influences a number of managerial domains including business structure,
crisis management, promotion of novice sports, executive management, creation of
innovation, advertisement structures, social issues, continuous concerns and
technological advances (Moosavi rad, 2011).
By adherence to principles and hierarchies, each organization tries to show its
structural shape. In fact, through formation of organizational structure, organizations
are able to elaborate on other activities including entrepreneurship. In Iran and
especially in governmental organizations which are directly budgeted by the state,
entrepreneurship is followed by several paper works and as many people have stated,
this is effective in terms of negativity of the former relation.

of structure of organizations. Organizations can be categorized in a spectrum shape in
terms of entrepreneurship, ranging from low to high. In governmental organizations,
the main focus is on execution of government’s plans and additionally, lack of adequate
financial supports and several financial problems have led to reduction of focus on
European Journal of Physical Education and Sport Science - Volume 2 │ Issue 5 │ 2016

entrepreneurship in sport and youth organizations. This can help the negativity of the
aforementioned relation. In all conceptual models of organizational entrepreneurship
developed by different researchers, organizational structure is considered as one of the
main factors for advancement of entrepreneurship. As the structure of an organization
becomes more regulated, employment, income and entrepreneurship become more
suitable. Precise and valid plans are developed under the light of regulated structures.
On the other hand, entrepreneurship results in efflorescence of organization. However,
above content include points that show that organizational structure can be negatively
effective on organizational entrepreneurship. In addition, results of regression test have
shown
that
organizational
structure
and
formality
are
able
to
anticipate
entrepreneurship in Kurdistan Province’s offices of sport and youth.
This result is also consistent with the results obtained by NikNahad (2014);
Moosavi Rad (2012); Seifi et al. (2015); Alimardani et al. (2014); Arabioon et al. (2012);
Yadollahi et al. (2010) and Yao et al. (2009). With a regulated structure and with a solid
plan, we can make arrangements for those activities that need to be organized. With no
doubt one of the most important plans is the issue of entrepreneurship. Successful
entrepreneurship guarantees the future of organization and even the entire future
efforts of the entire components and employees of the organization.
