The purpose of this study was to present a model of institutionalizing alternatives to women's sports management.The present study is interpretive in terms of philosophy,establishment in terms of approach,grounded theory in terms of strategy,qualitative in terms of research selection,and cross-sectional in terms of time period,and in order to collect its data.Interview tools were used. The statistical population of this study consists of experts in the field of women's sports management,including university professors and staff managers of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, the National Olympic Committee and sports federations.For sampling,purposive sampling method was used and sampling was continued until reaching theoretical saturation and based on this, 15 interviews were conducted.Semi-structured interviews were used to collect information and three overlapping processes of open coding,axial coding and theoretical coding were used to analyze the data.By matching the text of all interviews in the open coding stage,303 concepts or primary codes were identified,which were reduced to 78 codes after combining similar codes and removing codes that did not match the research topic.Then,in the axial coding stage,due to the semantic similarity of the identified concepts,10 sub-categories and based on the results of theoretical coding,3 main categories including contextual factors,structural factors and behavioral factors were formed.Based on the research results,it was found that the institutionalization of women's sports management succession is a function of structural,behavioral and contextual factors,and these factors interact with each other,so only when these factors are prepared and addressed.We can expect the institutionalization of succession programs in women's sports management.
