The aim of this study was to test the structural model of employee self-management in Iraqi sports organizations. The research method was descriptive-correlational and conducted using a survey approach. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was employed to test the hypotheses. The statistical population consisted of employees from the Ministry of Sports and various sports federations in Iraq. The sample was selected through convenience sampling, and a total of 360 individuals formed the final research sample. To measure the factors influencing employee self-management in Iraqi sports organizations, a researcher-developed questionnaire—designed based on expert interviews—was used. Data analysis was conducted using structural equation modeling. The results indicated that the variables of self-concept, self-expression, self-care, self-control, self-development, self-confidence, and self-motivation significantly influenced the self-management process of employees in the country's sports organizations. This model can serve as an effective strategy for enhancing organizational resilience, improving team performance, and achieving long-term objectives. Attention to and development of these components in employees can pave the way for sustainability and success in sports organizations.
