Efficiency Analysis of Provincial Departments of Physical Education in Iran

Abstract: In many countries, including Iran, Provincial Departments of Physical Education try to develop the athletic sports and sports for all in their related areas (state), using the government resources. Their success rate has always been an important subject for the top sports managers of country. In this paper we use data envelopment analysis (DEA) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) techniques for analyzing the performance of physical education organizations in Iran. Some convex and nonconvex DEA models have bee… Show more

“…One of the very important points which must be noticed during using of DEA for applied purposes is the number of input-output factors compared with the number of the DMUs. As it can be seen in the DEA literature [1,2,26,27], if the number of inputs and outputs is not very less than the number of DMUs, then the efficiency scores of the units increase and so the discrimination power of DEA models decrease. To overcome this, we must combine the input-output factors and reduce the number of inputs and outputs.…”

“…It is worth mentioning that, after using the AHP procedure, we calculated the consistency Ratio (CR) of each used pairwise matrix too, and it was lees than 0.1 for each matrix. In addition to the above-mentioned application of AHP, as another application of this instrument, we use it to construct some weight restrictions for imposing to DEA models to increase the discrimination power of these models [26,27]. It is worth mentioning that incorporating the value judgments and managers' opinions in efficiency analysis plays a crucial role to produce real efficiency measures and to have a more realistic performance analysis [1,2,26,27].…”

“…Studies on the structure of safety climate in organizations indicate that due to a lack of codified training about safety and occupational health in industries, most workers are not aware of the risks in their workplace [11][12][13][14]. Researchers believe that education of safety issues is one of the most critical factors affecting the safety climate of organizations [8,[15][16][17][18].…”
