Abstract
Introduction: One of the most common but under-recognized issues in organizations today is organizational apathy. Apathy is a slow process that gradually emerges in employees who are stuck in boring, repetitive jobs with little hope of improvement or advancement. At the organizational level, people who lose interest in their work for some reason gradually suffer from burnout and ultimately organizational indifference. Sometimes people express their objection to orders in the form of strikes and protests, which are the most obvious forms of expressing dissatisfaction, and sometimes this is expressed by high absenteeism.
Method: This research was exploratory and practical in terms of purpose, and data collection was done in the form of semi-structured interviews. The sample selection index was knowledge and experience, and the sample size criterion was theoretical saturation, which was finally achieved with 12 theoretical saturation interviews. In the quantitative part, structural-interpretive modeling was done with Mic Mac software and with 8 experts who are proficient in the affairs of sports organizations.
Results: The results of the interview finally led to the creation of 52 open codes and 5 central codes, which were placed in the form of structural factors of creating organizational indifference. The results of the analysis showed that relationship-oriented organization was at the first level of effectiveness and the components of severe bureaucracy, taste evaluation, misalignment of goals was at the second to fourth levels, and the components of disempowering employees were at the last level in terms of effectiveness. Also, the location plan of the components showed that the component of relationship-oriented organization was a strategic variable and the component of disempowering the exiting employees of the system was creating organizational indifference
