The present study aimed to propose an interactive model of factors affecting the development of management information systems (MIS) in elite sports in Iran. The research method was a mixed method (qualitative and quantitative). The qualitative population consisted of experts knowledgeable about the research topic, among whom 14 interviews were conducted. In the quantitative section, in addition to the experts from the qualitative phase, some elite sports managers and specialists, as well as information technology officials of sports federations and associations were included in the statistical population. After preliminary estimations, their total number was 320. Based on Morgan's sample size table and using convenience sampling, 175 participants were selected as the sample. The data collection tool included interviews and questionnaires. Data analysis was performed through open, axial, and selective coding. In the quantitative phase, the DEMATEL method was used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the factors affecting the development of management information systems in elite sports in Iran include dynamism, internal excellence, technical knowledge, motivational systems, and managerial transformation. The results showed that internal excellence and managerial transformation are causal factors, while dynamism, technical knowledge, and motivational systems are resultant factors. The findings emphasize the pivotal role of internal excellence and managerial transformation in shaping and driving the other factors toward the development of management information systems in elite sports in Iran.
