Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: Research on women's empowerment in the sports sector is a key factor in considering the important issues that impact women’s leadership, participation, and achievement in sports. Recognizing various key challenges in research helps to develop targeted and suitable strategies and favorable policies that promote equity and inclusivity. In this research article, the approaches for finding the most important criteria in women's empowerment in sports are demonstrated. The relevant criteria are shortlisted by conducting a literature review, collecting experts' opinions, and engaging in direct interaction with associated persons in the sports sector. The solution methodology for finding the criteria preferences is taken as a well-known multi-criterion decision-making method, namely the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. Due to the presence of uncertainty in the data sets, pentagonal fuzzy set data are considered. The whole proposed approach is followed by numerical and graphical illustrations.
