The study is to develop a strategic and operational program for the Deaf Sports Federation in Islamic Republic of Iran. The statistical population of the study was the officials and managers of the Deaf Sports Federation, the heads of the provincial councils, the members of the Deaf Sports Council, and the trainers of the national deaf teams, as well as a group of experts (N = 142). The statistical samples were chosen according to the total number of the society and its classes. Because of their low number, the total number method was used. In order to collect the information, this research was designed using the background and documentation, theoretical foundations, literature, books, articles and theses, consulting and reviewing the views and opinions of experts, and the formation of a strategic committee of an open questionnaire. Then, according to the information obtained from the open questionnaire completed by the elites and members of the Strategic Council, the study of theoretical and literature foundations and the research background, a closed questionnaire including strength, disadvantage, opportunity and threat was extracted. A questionnaire consisting of 28 items based on the 5 Likert spectrum was developed and presented to the sample for ranking the items in this questionnaire. The questionnaire was verified according to some professors and experts, and its reliability was also obtained by Cronbach's alpha of %89. The results of the internal factors evaluation matrix showed that the total score of this matrix was more than 2.5. Also, the results of the external factors evaluation matrix showed that the total score of this matrix was less than 2.5. The internal and external forces of the Deaf Sport Federation in Islamic Republic of Iran are potentially threatening and competing in the area. Finally, following the SWAT analysis, the strategies of the Deaf Sport Federation were extracted, resulting in the selection of 15 strategies. In the final stage, the strategies derived from the QSPM matrix were ranked.

Policymaking advertising is one of the important duties of public institutes and organizations such as ministries for their sub-organizations. In spite of this necessity, Sports celebrity endorsement advertising in Iran lacks policymaking. Therefore, the current research is to investigate policymaking challenges of sports celebrity endorsement advertising in Iran in the sociological, managerial and political-economic areas. Considering research objective, this is a developmental study and regarding research methodology, it was a qualitative one conducted using theme analysis. The research statistical population consisted of specialists of sports law, advertising, policymaking and sport management and marketing with an unknown volume. Using purposeful sampling method, 15 experts participated to the semi-structured, in-depth interview, and the process of analysis came to an end with theoretical saturation criterion. The quality of findings was also verified by recoding some of data. The set of conducted encodings together with a mass of notes taken by researchers showed that the policymaking challenges of sports celebrity endorsement advertising in Iran are of three types: managerial challenges, sociological challenges, and political-economic challenges. Managerial challenges include cognitive weaknesses and system weaknesses. Considering the identified challenges in this research, policies of sports celebrity endorsement advertising in Iran can be formulated.

Evaluating the sporting talents to take advantage of their potential is a necessity for every sport's instructor and practitioner. Therefore, the study is to determine the factors of the talent process as an exploratory study in combat athletes. The method of this research was exploratory and of type of modeling. The statistical population of this study consisted of managers of federations, sports heroes and active experts in the field of martial arts bullying in middle ages of 2005 to 1393. Based on a targeted sampling, 200 people (142 males, 58 females) completed a researcher-made questionnaire of talent identification. Exploratory Factor Analysis showed that the questionnaire of talent identification factors in martial athletes had a fourfold structure (talent discovery, talent identification, selection, selection, and application), which explains 54.92% of the variance of the tool. In addition, the confirmatory factor analysis also showed that the model for determining the factors of the process of scalability is of desirable fit (RMSEA = 0/09, GFI = 0/09, CFI = 0/9). Also, the internal consistency of the questionnaire of the process of apostasy was obtained by Cronbach's alpha (0/87), indicating the satisfactory internal consistency of this tool. Therefore, in order to identify the factors involved in the process of talent identification, a questionnaire of the process of identification can be used.

The study is to provide a model for measuring the management role of ministry of sports and youth in the privatization of the Iran's sports. This study is a kind of mixed and exploratory design mixed research. The first stage was qualitative and statistical society contains experts in management and privatization sport that all of them are chosen as the samples of research. For this, supplementary information was gathered through a review of theoretical foundations and Semi-structured interviews. Then data from the 20 interviews analyzed and coded in three stages by method grounded theory. The second phase was quantitative and is done through structural equation modeling. Since the statistical society was non countable and varied, 222 people were chosen through purposeful sampling, judgment method and mastering research. The researcher- made questionnaire from the stage of qualitative research was set as a research tool. Validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by15 experts and it distributed for 50 people and its reliability obtained 0.924 by Cornbrash’s alpha. To measuring the construction validity and survey factor structure data, the analysis exploratory and confirmatory factor is used. Comparing of variables showed that the impact of three components (decision-making, supervision and organization) is significant on the privatization of the Iran’s sports but planning component was not so. Organization component with regression coefficient 0.148 had the highest impact and, components supervision 0.092, decision-making 0.075, and planning 0.012 are located in the next ranks. Regarding the meaningful impact of mentioned factors, noticing of manager’s sport to these factors are of much importance in Iran's sports specialization.

The study is to develop the corruption patterns in Football Industry with qualified method and by using theorizing pattern of data in this study. The data were collected by using the document and interview. With conducting 18 deep and semi-structured interviews with experts in football, theoretical saturation was obtained and the main issues were extracted after completing the coding process. With completing the findings, the underlying model was designed based on systematic model of Strauss and Corbin (1998). According to the findings, the moral release central issue, irresponsibility of the managers, lack of legal and regulatory environment and the lack of multi-sectarian engagement were identified and the main issues were classified based on the systematic model. Therefore, on this basis, the weak of managing principles of football managers was the main factor of corruption. Legal weak, financial incentives, media ineffectiveness and the lack of behavioral criterion such as underlying model; also overlapping functions, failure in anti-corruption and lack of interagency coordination such as interferer factors were obvious. Culturing, strengthening the legal and regulatory environment, controlling and monitoring and using collective wisdom in decisions were such procedures of this study that can help improving and cleaning the football environment and consequently developing the football industry.
