The aim of this study was to develop a model of financial fair play for Iranian football clubs. The methodology of this research was qualitative and grounded theory Strategy. The statistical population of the study consists of all managers (clubs, league organizations, football federations, inspection organizations and other relevant government agencies), professors and researchers, legislators, player brokers, and coaches (n=18). Sampling was done theoretically using a theoretical and purposeful method. The research sampling continued until the theoretical adequacy and saturation. The data collection tool in this study was in-depth semi-structured interviews to help discover concepts and better saturation of categories. To analyze the data, three overlapping processes were used in the process of analyzing the theory of fundamental conceptualization, namely open coding, axial coding and selective coding. After analyzing and reviewing the core codes, the final 25 categories were integrated in the form of a data-based paradigm model in the form of causal, contextual, intervening, strategies and consequences, and the final research model was presented. In this model, the categories of government of Iranian clubs; Weak financial knowledge of club managers; Lack of strategic thinking; The weakness of the economic governance of the Federation League organization and the lack of cooperation of governing institutions for the financial independence of the football industry were considered as causal conditions and the financial inefficiency of Iranian football clubs was considered as a central issue.

The study is to develop a quantitative model of national empowerment for training programs of lifeguards. Explorative mixed method was used. The participants were from provincial committee, specialized committees of federation, 1st life-saving instructor and 1st grade national lifeguards. 90 participants were selected as the sample using available sampling method. The researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect information. The content-related validity was evaluated by 11 experts and its construct validity by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, partial least squares and smart PLS software.
Based on the results, components including technology, equipment and job motivation are of the most impact on empowerment of lifeguard training programs with factor loads of 0/830, 0/774 and 0/721, respectively. On the other hand, monitoring and evaluation, growth and development and management are of the least impact on empowering lifeguards with factor loads of 0/315, 0/254 and 0/235, respectively. Given the importance of technology, job motivation, and equipment and facilities components, we can upgrade ICT infrastructure, provide rescue equipment and training and increase salaries as a basis for the advancement of the training programs for life-savers.

The study is to codify the effective strategies and consequences of sport for all sponsorship in Iran. Regarding the exploratory nature of the subject, qualitative research method was used. Theoretical saturation was achieved after 21 deep and semi-structured interviews with experts and managers of sport for all and sponsorship fields. Categories were identified after completing the process of coding and data abstraction. Purposive and snowball sampling was done until theoretical saturation. The data analysis was done in three steps: open, axial and selective coding by using MAXQDA software.
The open coding results indicated that 45 codes could affect the financial support of Iran's public sport. Then, in axial coding, the codes classified in 6 concepts contains development of attracting sponsors, infrastructure to attract sponsors, improving rules for sponsors, benefit from Expert Persons, interacting with the media and granting funds to sponsors. Two concepts classified for consequences contain the benefits of financial support for federation and benefits of financial support for sponsoring companies. According to the results, effective steps can be taken using the proposed strategies for the development of Sport for all.

The study is to investigate the causal relationship between performance assessment and organizational commitment with mediator role of strategic thinking among staffs of Sport and Youth Organization of Alborz province. This is an applied study in terms of purpose that could be considered as a descriptive-correlational research in terms of methodology. The data was gathered by field survey and questionnaire. The statistical population included all staff of the organization (n=162). The staff was employed in the organization based on contractual and formal commitments. Krejcie and Morgan's table was used for determining the sample size. Therefore, 113 participants were selected by simple random sampling. Instruments of the study were questionnaires of Mc Adam performance management standard (2005), Lina organizational commitment (2007(and Husseini’s strategic thinking (2012). Face validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by 10 experts and professors in sport management. The reliability was calculated as 0/80 for organizational commitment variables and 0/94 for strategic thinking and 0/94 for Performance Assessment variable based on Chronbach alpha coefficient. Following library studies, the data were collected using field study and questionnaires. Pearson correlation test and path analysis were used by SPSS and PLS software for data analysis and hypotheses-testing.
The results indicated that strategic thinking has no significant mediator role in the relationship between performance assessment and organizational commitment (P=0/925, T= 0/094, b= 0/002). Thus, it is suggested that managers and authorities in Sport and Youth Organization encourage staff to futurism and targeting performance and utilize it for increasing organizational commitment and prosperity of the organization through proper planning and considering the role of justice of assessment.

The purpose at this research is finding a relation between sport background and football trainers’ exhaustion in first league and super league of Iran. This study is applied descriptive type. The statistical sample of research is all 87 couches that work in these leagues and the samplesiting method is objective type one I the measurement instrument was exhaustion questioner that in this research had Cronbach’s Alpha of 76 percent. We have used formula for investigating the relationship between Pearson correlation statistical sports backgrounds and exhaustion and -Test (k-score) in order to study the relation between exhaustion and championship and we used T- test to comper exhaustion in couches of super league and first league.
The results from investigations depict that there is no relationship between subscale of exhaustion and spot background of couch. It is considerable that the degree of vocational exhaustion in super league is higher than first league.
Every couch should perform a strong affective relation with their players and the existence of intermediate and high level of affective tiredness is very considerable and the soccer federation should proceed against the view deflection of all couches and do all measure to improve individual and social behaviors of trainers.
