The statistical population includes all teachers in Shahin-Shahr, Esfahan, Iran (totally 280 people); by applying the Morgan Table, 167 people are as the sample. To achieve the goals of the study, two questionnaires- Hassanzadeh’s Leisure Time Questionnaire (2006) and Goldberg and Hiller’s Questionnaire (1979) .The validity of both questionnaires was approved by 15 experts and the reliability of the two questionnaires, by Cronbach Alpha; were 0.79 and 0.82 respectively. By using SPSS software and by descriptive and deductive methods (such as Kolmogorov Smirnoff, independent t, single-sample t, Spearman correlation coefficient, Chi-Do and analysis of variance or ANOVA) the data analysis is done. The results show that the teachers’ psychological health is meaningfully at a good level (t=12.22, P=0.001). Furthermore, the athletic teachers spend more of their free time on exercising than the non-athletic ones. Another result of the study shows a meaningful difference between the level of psychological health in these two groups (t= 6.86, P

The purpose of the present research is to design a model of structural theorem of interpersonal trust and political behavior on the effectiveness of personnel in workplaces of sport and youth in Hamedan and Kermanshah provinces. The research methodology is survey research and correlative survey. The statistic group is all employees of sport and youth offices consisting of 168 individuals. The selected research sample is a whole measurement that finally 152 questionnaires are received. For gathering data three questionnaires of interpersonal trust of Cook and Wall (1980), DuBrin’s questionnaire of Political Behavior (1987), and Moghimi’s questionnaire of Effectiveness are used. The validity of questionnaires are affirmed by ten professors of sport management. The reliability of the questionnaire was confirmed by Cronbach’s Alpha method which for questionnaires of interpersonal trust, Political Behavior, and Effectiveness are (0.80, 0.79, and 0.83) respectively. For analyzing the data, Pierson’s coefficient correlation and model of Structural Theorem were used. The range of parameters of GFI=0.93, AGFI=0.91, NFI=0.95, CFI=0.97, RMSEA=0.033 represented that the structural model was proper. The findings showed that the component of political behavior with Beta coefficient (0.47) is a stronger forecaster than interpersonal trust with Beta coefficient (0.39) for effectiveness. It means that interpersonal trust and political behavior lead to more effectiveness between personnel in workplace.

The purpose of this study was to predict the loyalty of employees of N.O.P.A through brand image .The research was applied and method was descriptive that was carried through correlation analysis. The statistical population was all employees and managers of NOPA (60 p) and samples was equal with population. Finally 49 questionnaires have been completed and analyzed. For data gathering we used the brand image questionnaire (bruner & stacklin,2008) and the employee’s loyalty questionnaire (Hosseini et al, 2011). Because of abnormal data distribution of one variable, the Spearman Correlation test has been used. The results showed that there is positive and significant correlation between Brand Image and employee’s loyalty. The results of linear regression showed that Brand Image could predict 48% of employee’s loyalty variance. In regard of these findings we can suggest to the NOPA managers that first that all recognize their brand aspects well and then present them to employees and try to plan the organization’s performance in line with their brand characters.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and evaluate the effect of organizational agility on organizational performance with the role of mediator of intellectual capital among employees of sport and youth departments in western provinces of Iran by presenting a model. The research method is descriptive and correlation based on the structural equation model. The statistical population of this study was all employees of sport and youth departments (Kermanshah, Kordestan, Hamedan, Lorestan and Ilam) (453 people), using 284 people who were selected using Krejcie and Morgan tables. For collecting data, three standard questionnaires of Intellectual Capital (Bontis) (1996), organizational agility Sharifi and Zhang (2001) and organizational performance of Yang et al. (2004) were used. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by the sports management professors and their reliability was confirmed by Cronbach's alpha test. The findings showed that organizational agility had a 59% positive and significant effect on organizational performance. Intellectual capital also had a 45% impact on performance as an intermediary variable, and the effect of organizational agility on intellectual capital was reported as 71%, which had the highest effect in the research model. The test results of the research model indices were fit for fit and the research model was confirmed. These findings suggest that, in sports and youth departments, senior managers can achieve better organizational performance by providing the necessary platforms for intellectual development and intellectual capital.

The aim of this study was to compare and prioritize the factors influencing on satisfaction of the wrestlers of national team. Samples in this paper were 110 people in 1932. Due to the small size of the statistical population, all samples were selected. Athlete satisfaction questionnaire (ASQ) was used to collect information. Internal consistency of the questionnaire was 0/78-0/95 from main producer's view. To analyze the data, descriptive statistics, Friedman test and Spearman correlation coefficients were used. Results showed that there is satisfaction relation among the dimension of priorities of satisfaction of the wrestlers (p≥0/05, sig = 0/001), and it included satisfaction with the individual participation, strategy, education and training, and personal behavior. Significant negative relationship between the ages of wrestlers and satisfaction was another finding (r = 0/19, P≥0/05). By increasing the age of wrestlers, satisfaction decreased. Also significant negative relation exits between level of education and satisfaction (r = 0/2, P≥0/05). By increasing the level of education, satisfaction decreased. Overall, priorities obtained in this study showed that, except the first priority which is related to the extent of participation, enthusiasm and commitment to the athletes, other priorities were related to the coaches, which have the main share in the satisfaction of wrestlers of national teams.

They were selected and answered the standard questionnaires of Ismaili Sports Motivation (2014), Transformational Leadership of Bass and Olivier (2000) and Tenderness of Martin et al. (1988). The content and face validity of the questionnaires were confirmed by the professors of sports management. Also, the reliability of the instrument was confirmed by using Cronbach's alpha test. Structural equation method and Smart PLS software version 2 were used to analyze the data and examine the relationships between the variables. Findings showed that transformational (inspiring) leadership and coaches 'humor have a significant effect on athletes' athletic achievement motivation. Humor also plays a mediating role in the impact of transformational leadership on athletes' athletic development motivation. According to the findings, coaches can become transformational leaders who inspire athletes and lead them to higher levels of success.
