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.
