The aim of this research was to design a model for human resource efficiency in the Federation of Deaf Sports using a combined approach of fuzzy Delphi and interpretive structural modeling. The research method was mixed (qualitative and quantitative). The participants of this research were managers and officials of the committees of the Federation of Deaf Sports of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as experts in deaf sports, including coaches, referees, and athletes. The selection of these individuals was purposeful, and 18 of them were selected based on criteria such as expertise, experience, representation, diversity, and collaboration capability. The data collection tools were a 41-item questionnaire and a 17×17 square matrix, which had been validated and proven reliable. Fuzzy Delphi and subsequently interpretive structural modeling were used for data analysis. It is worth mentioning that for the implementation of these analyses, Microsoft Excel and the web-based software SmartISM were used accordingly. The findings demonstrated 17 determining factors related to human resource efficiency in the Federation of Deaf Sports. Based on interpretive structural analysis, the relationships between these factors were classified into 5 levels, and a hierarchical relationship model was established, indicating that the fundamental factors in optimizing human resources in the Federation of Deaf Sports are the fit of authority-responsibility and organizational culture, which ultimately affect the individual's perception of their role at the highest level. Therefore, in planning for the optimization of human resources in the Federation of Deaf Sports,

The purpose of this study was to design a virtual business development model in the field of sports services based on data theory. The research method is qualitative with a systematic analysis approach. The statistical population included two sections of human society (sports managers (clubs, boards, federations, etc.), coaches and athletes active in the field of sports services and professors of sports management and sports marketing) and the information society. A sufficient number of statistical samples were selected based on theoretical saturation, non-probability purposeful and snowball technique (16 people and 26 documents). The validity of the instrument was assessed using qualitative validation methods (content validity, kappa coefficient (0.801)). For data analysis, a systematic approach has been used during the three stages of open, axial and selective coding. Finally, 18 main categories (education, innovation, participation in cyberspace, stakeholder network, content production, public awareness of virtual sports services, virtual business development of sports services, budget, tax system, economy, information, market orientation, After-sales service, innovation and creativity (attitude, culture, commercialization and branding) and 23 concepts were extracted. The development of virtual sports business in providing sports services is of great importance and has several aspects. Also, using this model, one can expect the development of a virtual sports business in sports services.
