Due to the importance of strategic planning in the development of various categories, including sports, the need to pay attention to this important issue in our country is more and more necessary for the country's officials. Therefore, the study is to identify the indicators of the strategic control program in the Ministry of Sports and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran. The research method was qualitative (Grounded theory). The data collection tool was through in-depth and semi-structured interviews. After conducting 15 interviews with experts, the codes reached theoretical saturation. The data analysis was performed simultaneously using the apparent approach of Glaser (1978). By performing a three-step coding process (Open coding, Selective coding and Substantive coding), 84 non-repetitive initial codes were obtained for the strategic control program in the Ministry of Sports and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran, which were classified into 23 categories.
The results of the coding showed that the strategic control program in the Ministry of Sports and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran is based on four factors: 1) deterrent, 2) facilitator, 3) developer and 4) outcome. Therefore, when the mechanism of action of these factors is properly identified and diagnosed, we can see the growth of the strategic control program in the Ministry of Sports and Youth of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
According to the obtained results, it is suggested that they always pay attention to strategic control at all levels. One of the most important strategies for the successful implementation of comprehensive and dynamic strategic control in the organization is to internalize control or, in other words, to promote a culture of self-control among all members of the ministry.
