AbstractSport production companies operate under the name of "private organizations" to monetize through the sale of sports goods and services, thereby improving their performance, and they need a model that can emphasize factors affecting company performance. Based on the objective of presenting the conceptual model of the factors affecting the performance of sporting companies in Iran, with the emphasis on supply chain integration, the present study was conducted to justify the integration of supply chain. The aim of this study was to provide a model for the effect on the performance of sporting companies in Iran. This research was a combination of research, both exploratory and instrumental modeling implemented in two qualitative and quantitative stages. The statistical population of this study was 105 mid-size and large-scale sporting companies in Iran. A sample of 230 people was selected by a variety of executives and experts. Measuring instruments based on the literature of the research and verified by the experts, and its validity and reliability were confirmed in the research. Data analysis was performed using the spss-19 software and the structural equation model lisrel 8.8 was performed. The results showed that the proposed model of research is appropriately fitted. In addition, the employees' commitment directly and indirectly affects the performance of sporting companies in Iran. Supply chain integration affects the performance of sporting companies in Iran. The findings suggest that the commitment of employees through the integration of supply chain can affect the performance of Iranian sports production companies.

The study is to design a structural equation model for stress interaction and burnout on mental health considering its impact on sport and youth workers in Tehran province. The research method was descriptive- correlational. The statistical population (n=1300) included all employees of sport and youth departments of Tehran province. A randomized multistage cluster sampling method was used to select 286 people as the sample of the study. The instrument was a standard questionnaire for occupational stress, occupational burnout and mental health. Structural equations and stepwise regression analysis were used to analyze the data and test the research model using SPSS19 software and Lisrel 8/8 software.
The results showed that the model in the first stage of appropriate fitness so that burnout and job stress, mental health is affected, but the moderating role of mental health in relation to stress and burnout was approved. The new model presented results that mental health is of\a mediator role in the relationship between job stress and burnout.

The study is to investigate the effect of individual motivations on smartphone acceptance for Accessing to sports services. The research method was descriptive-surveying and was performed on 523 undergraduate students of sport sciences of Khuzestan Azad Universities that were selected randomly. To collect the data, we used personal motivation of using smart phone of Kang (2015) and Kang et al (2015). The questionnaire reliability and validity were confirmed using confirmatory factor analysis and calculating Cronbach's alpha coefficient respectively. Its Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0/9. Findings showed that 47/4% of students use smart phones more than 5 times daily to receive sports services. They most commonly use smart phones in social networks. The coefficient of individual motivators’ effect on intention to use (0/392) and intention to use in actual use (0/192) as well as t-value of both factors was higher than 1/96, which indicates the effect of individual motivations on intention to use and intent to use in actual use of sports services through smart phones. The highest and the lowest coefficients were seen in curiosity motivation (0/83) and intelligence motivation (0/44) respectively. Sports organizations can enhance other motivational factors to use sports services through smart phones by providing services in accordance with consumers' needs and formulating an appropriate marketing strategy, in particular stimulating consumer's sense of curiosity through advertising.
