the main purpose of this study is to examine the barriers to success development. It is in the general departments of sports and youth of Iran. Based on the purpose of applied research and in terms of data collection was done by mixed exploratory method. Participants included professors of sports management, managers of general departments of sports and youth of the country and the method of theoretical purposive sampling with snowball technique and based on theoretical saturation criteria was used. Data collection tools were semi-structured interview and structural self-interaction matrix questionnaire. In the first part, the data were categorized using thematic analysis method and in the form of basic, organized and comprehensive themes. Also, using the interpretive structural model, the identified obstacles were classified. Barriers to the development of substitution in the general departments of sports and youth as a comprehensive theme including 54 basic themes and 7 organizational themes (lack of meritocracy culture, individual barriers, poor management, economic barriers, legal barriers, structural barriers and Political-communication barriers) which were classified into 5 levels and it was found that the most basic barriers to the development of substitution in the general departments of sports and youth are structural barriers, economic barriers and poor management. By focusing on removing the identified barriers, we can expect the continuation of the quality of human resources in the general departments of sports and youth of the country.

This Descriptive-correlational study aimed to provide a model to predict organizational performance based on unlearning and by considering the mediating role of intellectual capital and innovative behavior. The study population consisted of all employees of Sports and Youth Departments of Iran, among whom 384 individuals were selected as the sample using cluster sampling. The data were collected using paper and electronic questionnaires and analyzed in AMOS using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method. The reliability of the Unlearning Questionnaire (Navarro and Polo, 2008), Intellectual Capital Questionnaire of Bontis (1998), Bruce and Scott’s (1994) Innovative Behavior Scale, and Organizational Performance Questionnaire (Winand et al., 2014) was confirmed with Cronbach’s alpha values of 0.83, 0.96, 0.94, and 0.97, respectively. The proposed model fitted the data well; thus, the path coefficients were all significant. Unlearning had significant positive effects on organizational performance through intellectual capital and innovative behavior. In addition, unlearning had the largest impact (0.96%) on intellectual capital than on other research variables. Therefore, managers of Sports and Youth Departments of Iran are recommended to adopt unlearning strategies in the workplace to replace employees’ old knowledge with new knowledge, and thereby increase intellectual capital and promote innovative behavior and ideas in the desired organizations. This will help organizations to improve their performance in today’s ever-changing environment.

The study is to design a multilevel model for managerial factors affecting the sports clubs of the players in the Premier Basketball League. The research method was mixed (qualitative-quantitative). 142 basketball players in 13 Premier League teams along with their technical staff and 19 basketball experts were selected as samples to identify the management factors affecting basketball clubs and present the ISM model. The desired factors were identified by meta-combination method and the relationship between them were determined using structural-interpretive modeling. The data analysis was performed using exploratory factor analysis and Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) by MICMAC method.The results showed that the factors affecting the player-rearing clubs include 35 elements and 7 general components which explain 62% of the variance of factors affecting the player-rearing clubs. According to MICMAC structural analysis, the club's desire for rearing player and its ability to attract more capital have been influenced by other factors and they are influenced and dependent elements from a systemic point of view. The factors of club branding and environmental interaction are in the category of independent variables that are of low influence and dependency. Government strategies, infrastructures and equipment are key barriers for player-rearing clubs with high influence and low dependency. Based on the results, the seven components that can enhance the success of the club by emphasizing the process of identifying, talenting and training players, in a systemic approach, form a system in which components affect and support each other.

Global developments in the field of sports, increasing public awareness and the complexities of implementing various sports programs have created a competitive, dynamic and highly variable environment within sports organizations. The results of research in sports organizations show a lack of qualified personnel. Therefore, the overall purpose of the study is to develop and evaluate a model of succession in general departments of sports and youth with emphasis on the Delphi method. The research was applied in terms of purpose and exploratory in terms of implementation method. The statistical population in the first part includes existing and available research in reputable scientific databases such as Human Kinetics, Emeral, Scupos in the field of succession breeding as well as sixteen human resources specialists in sports and in the second part, managers and experts in General Departments of Sports and Youth of Isfahan province that the sampling was done by purposeful method. The factors influencing the design of succession model were identified and in the next step, the data were analyzed using the written views of experts and academic elites. These measures were taken in the form of steps: Step one; Data were collected in the form of expert discussions of the research group in relation to succession breeding by academic and sports experts. Step two; By distributing the researcher-made questionnaire among the statistical population and using the structural model method, the relationship path analysis and prioritization of dimensions and components were shown.
The results showed that in the succession breeding model, respectively, the dimensions of growth and excellence of successors and candidates, program monitoring and capabilities evaluation, strategic communication and networking, strategic alignment and analysis of talent identification needs and identification of strategic capabilities directly on succession breeding. The General Directorate of Sports and Youth is influential. Sports managers should provide the necessary conditions for succession through measures such as planning in the recruitment and selection stages, training and improvement, correcting undesirable and unnecessary behaviors, and managing talents.
