The research is to design a talent management model for the Ministry of Sport and Youth in Islamic Republic of Iran. The method of the current research was applied in terms of the purpose and in terms of the method of implementation, with a mixed (quantitative-qualitative) approach. Using targeted sampling, 11 people were selected as a statistical sample. In a quantitative part, the statistical population included managers and employees of the Ministry of Sport and Youth. In the current research, 335 people were selected as a statistical sample using Morgan's Krejci table and random cluster sampling method. The data collection tool was a semi-structured interview in the qualitative part and a researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative part. In the qualitative part, data coding was done using MAXQDA software, and in the quantitative part, model fitting was done using confirmatory factor analysis and PLS software.
The findings of the research using the coding process of the conducted interviews showed that 115 initial codes are effective in the form of the concept of the effective factors model (causal and contextual, intervention, strategy and consequences) of the talent management of the Ministry of Sport and Youth in the Islamic Republic of Iran. The 16 categories were fundamental to explain the talent management model of the Ministry of Sport and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran: Based on the results, the categories of "attracting efficient staff", "organizational structure" and "employee competencies" as the causal conditions for the establishment of the talent management model, the categories of "support", "job rotation" and "creating opportunities" as the basic conditions, the categories of " Organizational flexibility", "Attention to the talent of employees", "Organizational knowledge" and "Evaluation" as intervening conditions, the categories of "Employee participation in the organization", "Succession", "Delegation of authority" and "Training and evaluation" are solutions for establishing The model of talent management in the Ministry of Sports and Youth and the categories of commitment and responsibility, self-esteem and retention of employees were introduced as the consequences of the talent management of the Ministry of Sport and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Also, the modeling of structural equations and the partial square method showed the confirmation of the fit of the mentioned model. Therefore, managers should pay attention to the obtained factors in the talent management process.

The purpose of this study was to identify the mental patterns of the team performance process in Football players with a mixed approach (quantitative - qualitative) and using Q methodology. The course in this study included 18 people (6 sports management professors, 6 experienced coaches and 6 successful players with B.A. and M.A. degree of education who were selected purposefully). The statistical population of the study consisted of the players of the first league football teams of the country, 21 of them were selected purposefully. Based on interviews and reviewing the research literature, 36 Q's statements were extracted and presented in a 36-card questionnaire and one Q-type questionnaire for the players to determine their degree of agreement or opposition. Based on the results of Q-type exploratory factor analysis, participants' mentality was categorized into five factors: team motivation, team quality, team learning, team skills, and team decision. These patterns explain 62.28% of total variance. Based on the results of this study, it is recommended to the managers of the country's sports system that in order to evaluate the performance of the coaches and the sports teams, in addition to the current ranking in the end of the season, other goals of the performance process, such as the identified patterns of the research.

This research is to design and explain a model of accountability system in sports organizations. The research method was of a mixed one (quantitative and qualitative) and the statistical population included two statistical societies, professors and experts in the field of sport and all managers and staff of the Ministry of Sports and Youth. In the qualitative section, 25 people from the professors and experts in sports were deliberately targeted. In the quantitative section, 211 people were selected from the directors and staff of the Ministry of Sports and Youth by sampling. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire, which was used to validate the exploratory factor analysis, and its reliability was calculated through Cronbach's alpha (0/96). The results showed that functional responsiveness had the most impact on organizational accountability (49/0) compared to other studied variables. Followed by legal accountability (0/42) which was based on accountability, an organization was influential. Administrative responsiveness (0/36), technology and media accountability (0/35), financial accountability (0/27), moral accountability (0/20) and social accountability (0/11) were in subsequent ranks as the effective variables on organizational responsiveness. Also, democratic accountability had an effect (0/268) that its effect was not confirmed. It is suggested that the managers of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, as policy makers in the field of sports and youth, use the suggested model of the present study to increase the effectiveness of this organization.

Athlete Brand Image (ABI) consists of three main dimensions: athletic performance, attractive appearance and marketable life style. The purpose of this study was to analysis the pattern of on fan- player identification with athlete brand image. A total of 530 University students completed Scale of Athlete Brand Image (SABI) which developed by Arai, Jae Ko and Kaplandou (2013), and modified Cohen & Perse’s (2003) Identification Scale respectively. Structural Equation Model (SEM) showed that from ABI dimensions, athletic performance and marketable life style has significant path loading on fan- player level of identification. This dimension reflects personality of an athlete and the social perception toward athletes. Therefore, despite athlete’s performance, to enhance fan- player level of identification, athletes and their manger are recommended to invest a substantial part of their activities on generate athlete effective marketable life style. This could be achieved by behaving ethically in and out off the field with sensitivity toward socio-cultural issues, being good role model and good leader for fans, socially responsible, and showing appreciation for fan/ spectators.
