The study is to present a qualitative model for self-efficacy of top sports managers. This study was a qualitative one which was conducted using Grounded Theory with the approach of Charmaz. The statistical population was composed of experts aware of the field of research who were sampled purposefully and by snowball method. In this study, the data reached the stage of theoretical saturation after conducting 13 interviews. The data were analyzed at three stages: open, axial and selective coding using MAXQDA software. After discovering the open codes at the first stage, 14 axial codes were provided and entitled as organizational factors, organizational performance, thinking style, job solution, trust, persuasion, individual performance, professional development, emotional intelligence, learning, group performance, experiences, and collective and individual self-efficacy. Based on the combination of the layers extracted from the theoretical coding stage (components of self-efficacy, effective factors (circumstances) and desired outcomes), the research theory and final model were created. According to the research results, studying and strengthening the components affecting self-efficacy can affect the self-efficacy of sports managers at the individual and collective level and ultimately lead to performance improvement at different levels in the organization.

The study is to provide an organized and complete view of the impact of Ministry of Sports and Youth's strategies on choosing the appropriate leadership style in the championship sport and benefiting from 50 internal and external papers. The methodology of this research is qualitative and its data is bibliographic, site-specific and descriptive, in terms of purpose and nature, is applicable in terms of time and duration, monthly and sectional data collected by the library method. The data theory of the Foundation, as a qualitative research approach, has systematic procedures for inductive theorizing, for data analysis. The research data were codified in three stages (open, axial, and selective) and after extracting the concepts, the categories and the theories, the result of this inductive process involves studies and criticisms of management styles derived from their sporting strategies. In Ministry of Sports and Youth, there are 51 federations and 31 departments of the provinces, the result of which is the selection of their leadership style, the cultivation of heroes. In the most recent findings, we found that there is a relationship between leadership styles and individual characteristics. The results indicate that there is a significant relationship between the age and the leadership style of duty, which indicates the attention to duty. As in the theoretical and research topics, personal characteristics such as age, management history, training, and education level are influential on leadership styles of managers, it can be concluded that sports managers also have some of their own characteristics in applying their leadership styles
