The purpose of this research was to design and validate the competence model of managers of the Ministry of Sports and Youth. The data collection of this research was done through the mixed research method. In the qualitative part, the analytical model of the foundation data theory was used, and in the quantitative part, the descriptive-correlation analytical method was used. The statistical sample of this research in the qualitative part included 15 academic elites and managers of sports organizations, who were theoretically selected using the targeted snowball method, and in the quantitative part, there were 468 managers, experts and employees of sports organizations. They were selected by stratified random sampling method. In this research, the process of analyzing the data obtained from the interviews was carried out during three stages of coding (open, central and selective) and 13 main concepts were obtained, which were presented in the form of a paradigm model based on Strauss and Corbin's model and in In the quantitative part, structural equation modeling by partial least square method (PLS-SEM) was used. The results obtained from the structural equation model showed that all the relevant paths were significant at the 95% level and were confirmed. According to the results of the present research, it can be concluded that for the implementation of competence in the management of sports organizations, it is recommended to focus on the categories extracted from this research to select competent people and to use the competence frameworks training, selection and appointment.

The purpose of this research was to research the main drivers of the development of professional sports in Iran in the horizon of 2035. The current research from the perspective of inductive approach; From the perspective of orientation, fundamental; From the point of view of method, hybrid; From the point of view of strategy, future research, from the point of view of paradigm, the paradigm of complexity theory and from the point of view of time, it has been carried out in three steps. The participants of this research were experts. The selection of these people was purposeful and 31 people were selected based on the criteria of expertise. In this research, to collect data from interview tools and questionnaires. And to audit the research, Lincoln and Guba (1985) evaluation indices were used, which included validity, transferability, reliability and verifiability. . In order to analyze the data, the coding method was used in the interview analysis section and the structural analysis method was used in the futures section with the help of MICMAC software. The findings showed that the future of the development of professional sports in Iran is affected by 14 variables, but four variables are government ownership in club ownership, the nature of club management, women's sports and foreign investment are the drivers that shape the future of sports. Iran's professions are undergoing changes. Therefore, the result can be found through influencing and adapting to the mentioned variables,

The recent structures of sport in any countries should be cohesive and comprehensive and the current goals and activities and their consistency should have logical scientific stability.The importance of the activities, goals, programming and the organizational structures must be explicit in the structures and plans of a sport organization. The purpose of this study is to formulate a developmental model of the structural factors of the championship sport of the Karate Federation and it is a combined exploratory mixed study which was done in two steps. The first phase (qualitative phase) was a qualitative study using grounded theory method. The data were collected through the snow ball method, deep and semi-structured interviews.Then, the data resulted from twenty interviews were encoded and analyzed through grounded theorymethod. The data were analyzed through open, axial and selective coding. The second phase of the study (quantitative phase) was done quantitatively using structural equation modeling method.For this purpose, 29 questions of the questionnaire were used based on the model of sport for all in Iran (derived from the qualitative phase of the study).From Karate Premier League 278 participants were selected based on Morgan table. The data were analyzed through exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling through using LISREL software. The results show that the media, financial resources, rules and regulations play important roles in top organizational decisions. They also show their special roles in preparing a suitable structure in sport developments of Iranian Karate Premier sport.

The study is to determine the causal relationship between market orientation and customer loyalty in terms of the mediating role of service quality in Tehran's fitness clubs. The method of this research was correlation-survey and was a type of applied research that was carried out in the field. The statistical population included all the people who visited the sports clubs of Tehran. According to Morgan table and random sampling, 384 people were selected as the sample of the study. Data were collected by Alper & Associates (2006), Kuw and Kwan Quality of Service Questionnaire (2006) and Dehdashti et al. Customer Loyalty Questionnaire (2012). These questionnaires were approved in terms of formal and content validity. Using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient, the reliability of the questionnaire was 0/83, the service quality questionnaire was 0/79 and customer loyalty was 0/88. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics such as table, graph, mean, standard deviation and inferential statistics of slip and elongation test, Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model were used.
The results showed that the customer orientation component had a direct and indirect relationship with customer loyalty through the quality of service intermediary variable. Also, this component was significant between the competitor's tendency toward customer loyalty directly and indirectly through the quality of service mediation variable. The component of the market environment was directly and indirectly related through the mediating variable of service quality with customer loyalty.
Based on the results of the structural equation model, the main model of the research was fitted out and service quality as an intermediary variable was able to mediate between market orientation and customer loyalty, which attracted the effects of market orientation and then transferred it to customer loyalty.
