It is often observed that our country's researchers, in the absence of valid and reliable internal scales, use foreign-made questionnaires as a measurement tool in studies. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to construct a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to measure the attitude of sport organization employees regarding the importance and role of information technology (IT) acceptance today in performing their work at the office or at home. The precision used in constructing this instrument makes it probable to be used by our country’s researchers and makes it unnecessary to use foreign instruments. In the process of constructing this instrument, a qualitative research method has been used to examine the attitude of experts regarding the preparation of preliminary questions and a quantitative method has been used to collect and statistically analyze the data. First, based on the review of literature, the initial questionnaire including 27 items was constructed to measure the factors measuring acceptance of information technology, and the formal and content validity of these questions were judged by experts. Then, during a quantitative study, a sample of 150 people from the statistical population answered the questions of the preliminary questionnaire to calculate the internal reliability.  Then, in exploratory factor analysis, in which data were rotated in an orthogonal manner, the dimensions of IT acceptance were extracted and the final questionnaire including 11 items was made. After confirmatory factor analysis, the final questionnaire was distributed among a sample of 365 employees. The results of exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis showed that the constructed tool has sufficient reliability and validity to measure employees' attitudes toward the acceptance of information technology. Therefore, this instrument can be used by users who are interested in studying the importance of acceptance and providing the necessary infrastructure and training for the efficient use of information technology by employees.
