The study is to identify the causal conditions that affect the development of the capabilities of elite managers in selected sport organizations in Iran. The methodology in this research is qualitative (Grounded Theory) and data collection was done through interviewing and reviewing the literature. The statistical population of the research includes the scientific elites and sports elites in physical education and sport sciences- active in selected sports organizations in the country. The research sample was determined theoretically and after the 17 interviews, the framework of the theory was formed. Data analysis was performed using three open, axial and selective coding steps with using Atlas.Ti software version 5.2. Based on the results of the research, the conditions affecting on the establishment and development of the capabilities of elite managers in selected sport organizations of the country were extracted in seven indices. These factors include identification of organizational factors, resource management, performance management and communication within and outside the organization, comprehensive monitoring system, attention to motivational issues and a different look at the strategies identified in the organization. The results showed that in order to promote sports organizations and advance targets by human resources, it is necessary to identify some of the causal conditions for developing managers' capabilities. These conditions can be exploited by identifying and exploring the factors relevant to the organization and its affiliated groups in the community, and will lead to the development of managers' capabilities and other related developments.
