Abstract

Computer with its widespread influence over the world has involved everyone in recent years. The growing demand for this technology is associated somehow with anxiety and stress. Therefore, the present study has been implemented in order to investigate the amount of computer anxiety in Iranian sport organizations. 574 managers and experts were selected as a sample by random selection. The tools of the measurement were the standard Computer Anxiety Questionnaire (1987) of Heinz, Glass and Knight for which the face and content validities were confirmed by an expert academic group. Confirmatory factor analysis, t-independent test, correlation coefficients of two fields-points (rPbis), general discipline (rser) and one-way ANOVA were used in order to analyze the data. The results demonstrated that there is no significant relationship between age (P≤ 0.821), sex (P≤ 0.599) and computer anxiety, but the relationship between educational level (P≤ 0.025), Organizational post (P≤ 0.035), work history (P≤ 0.037), work experience (P≤ 0.004) and computer anxiety were significant. The results also demonstrated that there is a significant difference between the computer anxiety observed in the organizations of physical education, sport federations and the departments of physical education in the schools (P≤ 0.037, F2, 347= 3.339). In the end we came to the conclusion that computer anxiety is a dynamic process with a variety of dimensions and complexities that should not be ignored easily and must be studied attentively.
