The aim of this study was to design a model for intra-organizational social capital development based on enhancing communication structures within the Ministry of Sports and Youth. This qualitative research was conducted using thematic analysis. The statistical population included all human resources management, sports management, and public management experts specializing in the research topic, with at least two previous studies in this area, as well as managers from the Ministry of Sports and Youth, and elite staff members with over 10 years of experience and doctoral degrees (20 participants). A purposive sampling method was employed, continuing until theoretical saturation was achieved. The research tool consisted of exploratory (semi-structured) interviews. Instrument validity was assessed and confirmed based on sample validity, expert opinions, and inter-rater reliability. For data analysis, the method proposed by Attride-Stirling (2001) was used. The findings identified 61 basic themes and four overarching themes: organizational factors, human resources, management, and infrastructure, as key factors in the model for intra-organizational social capital development based on improved communication structures in the Ministry of Sports and Youth. The research model was subsequently depicted.The aim of this study was to design a model for intra-organizational social capital development based on enhancing communication structures within the Ministry of Sports and Youth.
