In the present study, sampling was done in full and finally 175 people participated in the study. In order to collect data, in this research, with a holistic process approach, Herman's Brain Quarters Mastery Questionnaire and Managers Performance Effectiveness Questionnaire based on the Parsons Model were used
Results: The findings showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between the predictor variables (dominance of brain quadrants A-C-D) and the criterion variable (performance effectiveness) (P=0.001), so that the correlation between brain quadrant D and performance effectiveness It was more than other variables. While the relationship between quadrant B dominance and performance effectiveness was not significant. Also, the results of Friedman's test showed that there is a preference between the use of brain quadrants of sports managers (P=0.001), so that the priority of using brain quadrants included D, C, A and B quadrants respectively.
