The study is to investigate the causal relationship between performance assessment and organizational commitment with mediator role of strategic thinking among staffs of Sport and Youth Organization of Alborz province. This is an applied study in terms of purpose that could be considered as a descriptive-correlational research in terms of methodology. The data was gathered by field survey and questionnaire. The statistical population included all staff of the organization (n=162). The staff was employed in the organization based on contractual and formal commitments. Krejcie and Morgan's table was used for determining the sample size. Therefore, 113 participants were selected by simple random sampling. Instruments of the study were questionnaires of Mc Adam performance management standard (2005), Lina organizational commitment (2007(and Husseini’s strategic thinking (2012). Face validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by 10 experts and professors in sport management. The reliability was calculated as 0/80 for organizational commitment variables and 0/94 for strategic thinking and 0/94 for Performance Assessment variable based on Chronbach alpha coefficient. Following library studies, the data were collected using field study and questionnaires. Pearson correlation test and path analysis were used by SPSS and PLS software for data analysis and hypotheses-testing.
The results indicated that strategic thinking has no significant mediator role in the relationship between performance assessment and organizational commitment (P=0/925, T= 0/094, b= 0/002). Thus, it is suggested that managers and authorities in Sport and Youth Organization encourage staff to futurism and targeting performance and utilize it for increasing organizational commitment and prosperity of the organization through proper planning and considering the role of justice of assessment.
