This study's statistical population comprised experts in sports management at the university, many implementations, and the Ministry of Sports and Youth staff. The purposive sampling method was used for qualitative sampling, and sampling continued until the theoretical saturation was reached; based on this, 15 interviews were conducted. In the quantitative section, 405 samples based on the number of parameters calculated in the qualitative area were randomly selected. Coding and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data: The structural-breath (ISM) method and ISM software.

It was positive for sports organizations. Based on the obtained results, talent management in sports organizations is affected by causal, contextual, and intervening conditions, and in dealing with them, the mentioned organizations need a blockchain system for selection and employment.
