The validity of the question naire was confirmed by asking the opinions of experts in sport management. The construct validity was further confirmed by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis tests. Besides, the reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by conducting the experimental implementation and calculating Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. In the statistical section, to identify the factors and effective dimensions of exploratory factor analysis, To determine the relationship and sequence between dimensions of interpretive structural modeling (ISM) Mick Mac analysis was used to determine the type of model variables according to the effect and effectiveness.
