In today's world of instability, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity, and despite the low-probability and high-impact surprises that lead to unpredictable changes, Iran’s sport needs managers who can analyze the environment of full of fluctuations by using intrinsic and acquired behaviors, and show the appropriate behavior at the right time and adopt the correct strategies.The purpose of this article is analyzing of the behavior of Iran’s senior sports managers and to fill the gap in our understanding of recognizing the types of behavior among senior managers in selected educational, public, championship and professional sports organizations separately. This was done by a behavioral experiment with actor analysis technique and by a strategic planning simulation tool called MACTOR. Data were collected through the participatory observation; By a purposeful selection, 11 sports management experts and 24 people employed or familiar with the 12 organizations studied in this study participated in this behavioral experiment and completed the actor-actor and actor-objective matrices. Convergence and divergence of actors and objectives were carefully examined with software. It was found that political, guiding and MACTOR supportive behaviors are the predominant behaviors of senior sports managers in Iran. It seems that the managers of sports organizations can make positive changes in their future behavior based on past experiences, but successive changes in these organizations will cause missing this opportunity.

The purpose of this study was to design and elaborate an adaptive pattern in the work environment on the job performance of the staff of the Department of Sports and Youth of Khuzestan province with the role of mediator of organizational citizenship behavior. The statistical population in this research is all employees of the General Department of Sports and Youth of Khuzestan Province. A sample of 170 people (130 men and 40 women) was selected using multistage random sampling. The current project is a covariance matrix or correlation matrix (path analysis). The tools used for data collection were Individual Adjustment Questionnaire (Paceentin & Chapman, 2006), Individual Perceived Adaptation Questionnaire (Wagel and Feldman, 2009), Individual Perceived Adaptation Questionnaire - Kabel & Drew (2002), Graham & Deynesh (1994) and Personal Career Performance Questionnaire (1970). The results showed that the individual-organization matching is related to organizational performance with organizational performance. Also, the individual-job matching is related to organizational performance with organizational performance. However, the individual-group adaptation only indirectly increases organizational performance through organizational civic behavior. Organizational civic behavior is also related to job performance. The findings of the path analysis revealed that the structural model has good fitness and all structural relationships in the model are significant at P <0.05.
