This research was conducted with the aim of designing a model for empowering managers of Iraqi sports organizations. The present research is exploratory research in terms of its purpose and a fundamental research in terms of its orientation, which has used the strategy of foundational data theory with the paradigmatic (systematic) approach of Strauss and Corbin. To collect research data, 15 in-depth and semi-structured interviews were used with sports management experts in universities and researchers in the field of career empowerment of sports organizations. Participants in the research were selected by purposeful and theoretical sampling. Analysis of the data from the interviews emerged during three stages of open, central and selective coding. The results showed the number of 26 core codes under 12 optional codes in the form of five dimensions of the paradigm model including causal conditions (communications, advertising, administrative system, training, delegation of authority, organizational strategy, economic and creating a sports business), background factors (empowerment of employees, empowerment of managers, strategic policies, strengthening infrastructure and media), intervening factors (creativity, identification of needs, socialization, communication and advertising), strategies (strengthening the organizational brand, financial support, value creation and cultural strengthening) and consequences (marketing, organizational fans, organizational management, Knowledge management, organizational intelligence, social improvement and infrastructure improvement) formed the model of empowering managers of Iraqi sports organizations. The use of this model in sports organizations can lead to the empowerment of their sports and psychological managers; Therefore, it is suggested; Management training against changes based on the fluctuations of the external environment, recognizing and applying the principles of human resource management and learning multiple management skills should be considered for managers before reaching the management position.

The conclusion of this study is our reasoning about the positive and negative aspects of political behavior, which is the influencing ability of these factors on the strategic decisions of sports managers. According to many interviewees, the most important positive aspect of the political behavior is also achieving goals in the shortest time with the least cost, and deviating from the goals of the organization is mentioned as a negative factor in the political behavior of sports managers.

Ten sports management professors confirmed the formal and content validity of measurement tools. For reliability, after the preliminary studies, alpha coefficient was obtained (0.98, 0.99, 0.99 and 0.89) respectively for the questionnaires. All data were analyzed using the SPSS/19 and LasirL /8.54. The findings of the model of path analysis of the effect of mental strength, sport managers on management skills, between management skills and self-management, between self-management and functional efficiency at the level are significant. Perhaps it can be admitted that managers with high mental strength and management skills in the environment in which they work or the results that they achieve can lead to fundamental changes in the organization.
