Abstract

The research was conducted in order to develop and introduce a modern management scale for the Iraqi Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation, develop and apply a performance efficiency scale for the Iraqi Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation as well as identifying modern management of its role in raising performance efficiency within the Iraqi Bodybuilding Federation. Due to the nature of the problem, this researcher used a descriptive approach with relational methodology. The research sample was selected from among the members under the authority of the sub-federation of the Iraqi Bodybuilding and Fitness Federation (150 members). The two scales were applied to a sample of bodybuilding (75) members for the period from (June 6, 2025) to (August 4, 2025). This was an exploratory foray into the development of the two scales. To check the scales, the researchers used construct validity: this type of validity is verified via statistical analysis of items. 24 items for the modern management scale, and 22 items for the performance efficiency list were finalized after thorough revision of the two scales. Having developed the two scales, the researchers used the final scales with a sample of 70 members between August 20th 2025 and September 15th 2025. Results were discussed with pertinent scientific references. The findings of the study concluded that there is a moderate range of application ideas for modern management concepts in the Iraqi Federation for Bodybuilding and Fitness. They suggested adopting clear strategies for the complete application of modern management concepts in the Iraqi Federation for Bodybuilding and Fitness.
