this study was to design a revenue-generating model for sports delegations of Iran. The research method was qualitative studies with grounded theory approach. Data were collected using interviews and document review. After conducting 15 in-depth and semi-structured interviews with the statistical population of the research, the main categories were extracted after completing the coding process. Purposeful sampling and snowball sampling continued until theoretical saturation. The data analysis results were obtained using MAXQDA qualitative analysis software in three stages of open, axial and selective coding. So, during the process of open coding categories include: causal condition, contextual condition, intervening factors, actions and strategies, outcomes were extracted from the sponsorship of sport for all; Then in axial coding stage, the connection between this following categories of causal condition (funding from the side activities of the board, funding from events, funding from places available, funding from registration), contextual condition (entry of legal partners, capital measures, financing of funds, provision of current funds), intervening factors (planning barriers, governance barriers, institutional barriers, hardware and software barriers), action and interaction strategies (governance measures, effective action on attracting capital, playing the role of social responsibility, proposal, targeting revenue generation, strengthening the image, understanding the goals of partners), and the consequences (increase funding channels, reduce costs and implement revenue-generating measures) in terms of coding paradigm was determined; also in selective coding phases, each component of coding paradigm described, The story line depicts and the theory was created, Finally.the judgment propositions and strategies hypotheses of research were formulated

On the one hand, the sport organizations are faced with a variable and threatening environment and, on the other hand, the increasing trend of sport developments in domestic and international fields have caused more expectations and requests on the part of the society. Based on this, the main purpose of research is to design the model of strategic thinking in order to improve the productivity of the ministry of sport and youth. The method was qualitative and based on Grounded Theory. The semi-structured interviews used for the data collection.The sample was chosen based on theoretical saturation (22participants) from sports administrators and university professors by using targeted method. The data was analyzed in three codifying stages were introduced in causative effective conditions (7categories), interventional conditions (7categories), grounded conditions (2categories). which facilitate or expedite the interrelation among these three, the required strategies (6categories) and consequences (3categories). In this paradigmatic model, “the path-oriented analysis”, “the visualizing mind”, “the coherent mind” and “the integrated thought” were chosen as the main reasons behind the institutionalization of the strategic thought in the ministry. It could be concluded that if exerted the strategies in order to institutionalize the strategic thinking in this organization, some consequences will arise, such as the modernization of the ministry, the creation of a Non destructive ministry and also the clarity of the path of sport development.

The study is to present a comprehensive model for the popularization of sports in Isfahan, for which the first (qualitative) purpose was referred to experts in the physical activity of sport for all in the province and through in-depth interviews based on grounded theory of data collection from them. Then, the data obtained from fifteen interviews were coded and analyzed using the data theorizing method of the Foundation. This study was of a combined method of mixed exploratory research projects. Due to the quality of the study; the snowball sampling method was used. A total of 15 public sports experts in the province were interviewed. The statistical population and sample size in the second phase were 135 based on Morgan's table and the sampling method was stratified randomly. The data collection tool in the second phase was a 70-item questionnaire, which was prepared based on the public sports model of Isfahan province in the first phase. A total of 140 open-source codes were obtained from the analysis. The 140 extracted codes were converted into 64 core codes. In the third step, in grouping the codes, the core codes extracted from the interviews were grouped and then the created groups were compared with each other to identify and extract the main groups and dimensions of each one. In general aggregation of three levels, behavioral, organizational and environmental, and 16 components of the main level subset, 64 code-axis subset components were extracted. At the level of behavioral factors, the priorities of the components were: 1- General factors 2- Personal factors 3- Basic factors. At the contextual (environmental) level, the priorities of the components were: 1- Collective environment 2- Economic environment 3- Diplomatic environment 4- Living environment 5- Environment cross-border 6- Cultural environment. At the level of structural (managerial) factors, priority of components respectively was: 1- Equipment of the minister of structures 2- Rules and instructions 3- Human capital and financial support jointly 4- Technical knowledge 5- Supporters.
At the end, the suggestions taken from the research results are presented as solutions to improve the situation of sport for all in Isfahan province.

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.

The research is to present a model for future studies of the presence of women at the level of Iranian sports management. The research methodology in terms of level was strategic; in terms of type was qualitative; in terms of strategy was process; in terms of purpose was functional and in terms of time was prospective. The statistical population consisted of two sections: human society (18 people) and information society (39 copies). The research tool consisted of three methods of library study, interview and Delphi technique. The validity of the tools was evaluated based on the scientific and legal credibility of the sample, content evaluation of specialists and the coefficients of agreement between the desired experts. Coding and conceptual analysis methods were used to analyze the findings. The results showed that there were significant gaps between current and desired status identified capacity management (organizational posts, seats and membership). Decisive factors are categorized by two approaches: A) system analysis including the factors of progression, processes and outcomes; (B) Surface analysis including individual, occupational, organizational and environmental factors. Future perspectives on women's sport management in Iran was investigated in the last three perspectives of the past, present and future and two theoretical and executive sections. Finally, the prospect model was outlined based on the necessary measures and considerations to improve the status of women in sports management in the country at five levels: challenges, capabilities, strategies, performance, and outcomes. Based on the findings, it can be said that the possible future for women's role in the sport of the country is more than relative and case improvement in some dimensions and indices, in order to desirable future of the whole dimensions and processes of the system under discussion. It is suggested that opportunities be created for the establishment of women's sports centers in order to be aware of the potential and the potential of the present.
