Resumen

The aim of this study was to identify the effectiveness of crisis management in Jordan Sports Sector at the Jordanian Gymnastics Federation (JGF) during the COVID-19 pandemic. The descriptive approach was chosen due to its relevance to the nature, problem and objectives of the study. The questionnaire, specifically prepared for this study, was used as an instrument for data collection, consisting of 25 items. The study sample consisted of 16 randomly selected participants from the administrative and technical staff (N = 9), referees (N = 3) and 16-year-old players of the JGF (N = 4). To obtain the related results, the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) was used. The results of the study showed the lack of plans based on scientific foundations to manage the crisis in the JGF, as well as a lack of human and material capacity to confront the crisis in the JGF. The results also indicated that there are no statistically significant differences in the effectiveness of crisis management at the JGF based on the variables of gender (p = .636) and job title (p = .083). The study recommends developing crisis management strategies at the JGF, based on scientific foundations by specialists in the crisis management domain, and providing trained and qualified human cadres to manage crises at the JGF.
