The present study investigates organizational flexibility (agility) and the training needs of staff working in the Sports Directorates of Local Government Organizations (LGOs), within the context of implementing sports programs for people with disabilities (PWDs). The research is based on a quantitative methodology, using structured Likert-scale questionnaires. The total sample included 332 municipalities across 13 regions and 180 staff members from Municipal Sports Directorates of LGOs, as well as an analysis of 93 municipalities regarding their digital readiness. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS software, employing descriptive statistics, correlation analyses (Pearson), comparative tests (t-test, ANOVA), and multiple regression analysis. The reliability of the scales was particularly high (Cronbach’s α = 0.896–0.964). Electronic leadership is primarily influenced by responsiveness (β = 0.419), competence (β = 0.330), and flexibility (β = 0.234). At the same time, organizational agility remains low (M ≈ 2.35), alongside moderate development of digital skills and limited utilization of training in practice. At the same time, a significant relationship was identified between staff training and the provision of specialized programs. The findings highlight the need to strengthen education, technological competence, and administrative flexibility.
