Abstract

Background: Despite significant advances in the design of performance appraisal frameworks ‎and systems in recent years, many organizations still rely on traditional metrics. Purpose: The ‎present study aimed to measure the relative efficiency of physical education departments in ‎Tehran through a data envelopment analysis approach. Method: In this research, in addition to ‎identifying and determining the input and output indices of regions, an appropriate model of ‎data envelopment analysis was presented to evaluate their performance, as well as ranking ‎efficient and inefficient regions and units and providing solutions to improve inefficient ‎regions. Input indicators of this study were the ratio of student to physical education teacher, the ‎budget of physical education department, the number and surface area of sports halls at the ‎disposal of the department, and output indicators included the number of sports competitions ‎held by the department, provincial and national trophies won in competitions as well as national ‎and international athlete students of each region. Finally, DEA method was used to design a ‎performance assessment model for physical education departments in different regions. After ‎designing the research model and collecting the data, BCC, CCR and Anderson-Peterson output- ‎and input-oriented models were analyzed using DEA-SOLVER LV software. Results: The ‎results of data analysis showed that 11 out of 19 regions under study in 2017 were efficient and ‎‎8 were inefficient. Conclusion: It is necessary that the degree of changes needed to make ‎efficient the inefficient units be determined by modeling the efficient departments‎.‎
