The study is to design a multilevel model for managerial factors affecting the sports clubs of the players in the Premier Basketball League. The research method was mixed (qualitative-quantitative). 142 basketball players in 13 Premier League teams along with their technical staff and 19 basketball experts were selected as samples to identify the management factors affecting basketball clubs and present the ISM model. The desired factors were identified by meta-combination method and the relationship between them were determined using structural-interpretive modeling. The data analysis was performed using exploratory factor analysis and Interpretative Structural Modeling (ISM) by MICMAC method.The results showed that the factors affecting the player-rearing clubs include 35 elements and 7 general components which explain 62% of the variance of factors affecting the player-rearing clubs. According to MICMAC structural analysis, the club's desire for rearing player and its ability to attract more capital have been influenced by other factors and they are influenced and dependent elements from a systemic point of view. The factors of club branding and environmental interaction are in the category of independent variables that are of low influence and dependency. Government strategies, infrastructures and equipment are key barriers for player-rearing clubs with high influence and low dependency. Based on the results, the seven components that can enhance the success of the club by emphasizing the process of identifying, talenting and training players, in a systemic approach, form a system in which components affect and support each other.

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.

The Youth constitute significant percentage of Iran’s population; this is considered a prominent advantage for Iran compared to other countries in the world. The youth are the future makers of the country and it necessitates planning for their training and employment in managerial positions. In recent years, the issue of youthism and their employment in managerial positions has been emphasized in our country, such that many officials have paid attention to it. However, it should be noted that employing young people in managerial positions acts as a double-edged sword having its own advantages and disadvantages. The strategy of this qualitative research, which is based on the interpretivism philosophy and has an inductive approach, is thematic analysis. Data were collected through semi-structured and in-depth interviews with 19 managers of public organizations in 1400 and their analysis was done using thematic analysis. The results indicate that the advantages of employing young human resources in managerial positions are being more dynamic and having more enthusiasm, being more familiar with modern knowledge and technologies, facilitating change and innovation, having a sense of cooperation and participation and being youthism, while the disadvantages are inexperience, emotional and quick reaction in the face of problems, less realism, less systemic thinking and low resilience and less authority.

The study is to design a crowd funding model for national sports projects. The research method was qualitative with a systematic exploratory approach (content analysis approach). The research participants included all knowledgeable people (managers, professors and finance experts). The sample was taken in sufficient numbers and by judgmental method based on theoretical saturation (20 people). The research tools included semi-structured exploratory interviews with library study. The validity of the tool and framework was evaluated and confirmed based on the legal validity and scientific competence of the sample, expert opinion and agreement between the correctors. In order to analyze the findings, a multi-stage conceptual coding method with a system analysis approach was used.
The results showed that the conceptual framework includes 89 components, 23 dimensions, 8 perspectives and 3 conceptual levels. In accordance with the general model and conceptual framework, the sequence of impact-effectiveness relationships between model variables was from the level of application contexts to the level of characteristics of the crowd funding system and the level of mechanisms and functions of crowd funding of sports projects, respectively.
Based on the findings, it can be said that the application of crowd funding for national sports projects first requires a comprehensive understanding of environmental (external) contexts and systemic (internal) characteristics and then its processes and consequences. Therefore, it is suggested to the executive, marketing and financial managers in sports projects that for mass financing of projects, contrary to the traditional approach, they should not focus only on its organizational aspects and with a systemic view to analyze the interaction between different factors from Participants, brokers and the space of partnership between the two.

The study is to analyze the environment and evaluate the position of beach soccer in Iran throug a strategic approach. The research method was descriptive and in the form of strategic studies. This research was applied in terms of purpose and the information was collected in the field in a mixed qualitative and quantitative method. The statistical population in the quantitative part, including prominent managers and coaches of beach soccer in the federation and football delegations, was equal to 75 people and in the qualitative part included 18 experts. Due to the limited membership, the community became equal to the sample. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire containing environmental factors of beach soccer, the validity of which was confirmed by 10 professors of university sports management and its reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test (α=83). To determine the strategic position of beach soccer in the country, the internal and external factors evaluation matrix was used.
The findings showed that in the country's beach soccer, there are eight strengths, eight weaknesses, neither opportunities nor threats, and a conservative strategic position was achieved. The officials should take advantage of opportunities and strengths such as the development of scientific centers, government and official support for football, connecting the north and south of the country to the sea, multiple islands and experienced players and coaches, to address weaknesses and reduce the effects of threats. Because of unprofessional management and teamwork, there are lack of basic competitions, lack of a comprehensive system for talent identification and increasing investment of competitors.

The purpose of the paper was to identify barriers to sports startups growth and provide solutions. The research was applied in terms of purpose and qualitative in terms of method, for which the Delphi technique was used. In order to collect data, library studies, interviews and finally the Delphi questionnaire were used. The statistical population of all professors of sports management, sports managers, sports entrepreneurs and specialists in science and Technology Park in Hamadan province was 45 people. The sampling method was purposive and 30 people participated in the study. Three rounds of Delphi were used. The results showed that among the obstacles to the growth of sports startups were; Managerial, socio-cultural barriers, lack of awareness and knowledge, legal barriers, human barriers and environmental barriers that were expressed in proportion to the strategies for the growth of start-ups. It seems that the strategies for the growth of sports start-ups, taking into account the entrepreneurial ecosystem and considering all the stakeholders involved in the sports community, provide favorable conditions such as intellectual property protection, low level of corruption, financial support, supporting research and development as well as improving access to finance can be beneficial to the continued growth of this type of business.

The study is to interpret the meaning of happiness among young people using thematic analysis. To collect the data by snowball method, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 42 young people aged 18-35 years in various fields.
The results showed that the happy young man has goals in his life and is trying to achieve his goals. The most important leisure space for young people is a space in which the feeling of freedom and belonging and expressing their ideas and the possibility of establishing social relationships with trust in is possible. In social relationships, areas of happiness for young people and mutual support is achieved. Emotional happiness that comes from internal and external conditions, a response to needs, which brings joy and peace, and an important factor for motivation, satisfaction that will lead to life expectancy.
Social fields for leisure are changing and with the strengthening of the element of agency, young people's understanding of happiness is moving towards transgender approaches. In the formation of social relations, we see less importance of social class and witness the interaction of young people from different social classes. In this regard, the fields of happiness become transcendental and happiness is formed as a common experience in their relationships with others.
In the present situation, the result of mental and objective conditions is of negative effects on the approach of young people, which is a measure to give hope to young people as much as possible.

The occasional occurrence of anti-national and divergent behaviors, especially among young people in the public areas and places such as stadiums, makes it necessary to understand how and why such social and political actions take place in order to resolve the disturbances in the path of ethnic integration in the country. In societies like Iran, where different ethnic groups live together, ethnicity and its related issues are among the issues that affect the socio-political activities of citizens in different ways and especially can lead to national and inter-ethnic convergence or divergence. In this framework, our main problem is to investigate the ethnic factors that affect inter-ethnic or national diversity, and the main question is which intra-ethnic factors increase and strengthen the divergent and anti-national behaviors of the youth of different ethnicities?
To investigate the issue, quantitative survey method and a questionnaire were used in Ahvaz city. Research findings showed that exclusive in-group identity, insecure identity orientation, inter-ethnic identity distance, institutional inequality and relative power of in-group are effective on diversity and divergent behaviors regarding national identity

To collect the data, the keywords of "services’ quality", "quality evaluation in counseling centers", and "services’ quality for clients" were searched. The articles were qualified through the Critical Assessment Skills Plan (CASP). The reliability of this study was based on the experts’ opinions and the validity was confirmed by Cohen's Kappa test.
The findings showed that the most important factors associating with the quality of marriage and family counseling services includes objective and tangible factors plus intangible factors namely, Reliability (Trust), Accountability and Credibility, Empathy and Rapport, and finally Accessibility and Responsiveness. According to the current research, the quality of services at counseling centers is affected by 43 indicators extracted from the mentioned 5 factors.

امروزه تحلیل وضعیت ازدواج و گرایش جوانان به آن، بیش از همۀ نمایانگر یک نیاز مبرم به ارائۀ یک چهارچوب تحلیلی در قالب «انگاره ازدواج» باشد تا در عین توصیف و تببین نگرش جوانان نسبت به ازدواج بتوان به صورت بندی سنخ های ازدواج و چالش های آن پرداخت. با عنایت به هدف اصلی پژوهش از دو روش تحقیق «پیمایش» و «تحلیل روند» استفاده گردیده است. نتایج حاصل نشان می دهد که 22 درصد از جوانان نگرش مثبت و در مقابل 26 درصد نگرش منفی نسبت به ازدواج دارند. بر اساس تحلیل چند متغیره داده ها رابطه ارزش ازدواج با نگرش به ازدواج برابر با بتای 36/0، معنای ازدواج برابر با بتای 25/0، هنجار ازدواج برابر با بتای 29/0 و فرصت ازدواج برابر با بتای 14/0 می باشد. با مروری کلی و تحلیل یافته های مطالعات کمی و کیفی مختلف، می توان چنین استنباط نمود که انگاره ازدواج در بین جوانان ایرانی در مواجهه با دو الگوی «کنش انتخابی ازدواج ـ ساخت نهادی ازدواج» تعیین می یابد. به طور دقیق تر چنین انگاره ای در قالب غلبه کنش انتخابی بر وجه نهادی خانواده با چهار سنخ الگوی ازدواج و تشکیل خانواده (فردگرایانه، رابطه ای، دینی و اقتضایی) قابل شناسایی و تحلیل است که به نوبه خود زمانبندی ازدواج، معیارهای همسرگزینی، ارزش ها هنجارهای ازدواج و نیز معنا و موانع ازدواج متفاوت فهم می شود.

The increasing development of information technology has faced the challenge of change in various dimensions of society. One of these important aspects is its public services. Governments are trying to transform their services and focus them on their citizens and business partners through the Internet. To move towards the full establishment of electronic government, countries have always faced many obstacles. The purpose of this research is to present the model of damages of the implementation of e-government in Iran based on the study of the Ministry of Sports and Youth. For this purpose, the theoretical framework of the research was developed by reviewing the literature and based on that, the conceptual model of the research was presented and the hypotheses of the research were developed. To test the hypotheses of the research, the statistical population including the managers and experts of the central headquarters of the Ministry of Sports and Youth were considered. In the form of available sampling, the questionnaires whose validity and reliability were confirmed were distributed among 131 people from the statistical sample, and due to the non-normality of the data distribution, partial least squares method and SmartPLS3 software were used for analysis. Statistics were used. Based on the significant values related to the hypotheses, all six hypotheses were confirmed. The impact of managerial barriers was 0.458, the impact of organizational barriers was 0.639, the impact of technical barriers was 0.741, the impact of economic barriers was 0.528 and the impact of human resources barriers was 0.638.
