The purpose of this study was to provide a model of the effect of organizational interaction quality and social acceptance on the loyalty of sport volunteers in the physical educational institutions of higher education universities of the country. This study is descriptive-causal based on the modeling of structural equations that was field-based. The statistical population of this study was volunteer sports students who had worked with their university's physical education department for at least two semesters. According to the head quarter of Physical Education of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, this number was estimated at 10,000. In terms of access, volunteers from 18 selected universities participated in the study. According to Morgan's table, 384 healthy questionnaires were collected by available sampling. Based on the study of theoretical literature and recent research, the research instrument was designed in the form of a questionnaire. For face and content validity, a designed questionnaire was confirmed by nine sports management specialists. Structural validity was performed by exploratory factor analysis using SPSS version 21 software. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for volunteers' loyalty variables, organizational interaction quality and social acceptance were 0.83, 0.82 and 0.71, respectively. The results of the implementation of the model in the software of Amos showed that the effect coefficient of two variables, the quality of organizational interactions and social acceptance on volunteers' loyalty were 0.64 and 0.69 respectively. Understanding, recognizing, educating, supporting volunteers and setting up organizational networks can give them encouragement and loyalty to the sport of the universities.

The purpose of study was to design a model for the physical education teachers’ professional characteristics and competencies. It is a field survey. The population included the whole Tehran physical education teachers whose number total equaled 650 individuals. The sample included 242 participants (both male and female) selected by the cluster random sampling based on Krejcie and Morgan's (1970) table. The instrument to measure the physical education teachers’ competencies was a structured questionnaire which the face and content validity were confirmed by the university experts and professors specialized in the field of education. Moreover, the construct validity was evaluated using AMOS software. The reliability was also assessed by Cronbach's alpha (internal consistency=0.88). Inferential statistics is composed of the one sample t-test, the confirmatory factor analysis, and the structural equation modeling. The results showed that the educational competencies as well as the professional development competencies had the highest value of factor loading. In contrast, the technology competencies had the lowest value of factor loading. In conclusion, the teachers’ positive behaviors in their students and the students’ parents must be maintained and the new technologies in education must be improved.

The Research instrument was the questionnaire that after confirming validity and reliability, distributed statistical samples. For data analysis, the Pearson correlation coefficient, leaner regression, one way ANOVA and LSD post hoc have been used. Regression analysis showed that positive coaching behaviors increase self-efficacy and sportspersonship while negative coaching behaviors decrease self-efficacy and sportspersonship. In addition, self-efficacy had a positive significant effect on sportspersonship. Based on this research finding, suggested that coaches know the behaviors that athletes considered them as positive or negative and to be aware of the effect of their behaviors on athletes' performance and as they prepare athletes for competitions, coaches to be presented in competitions with readiness

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.

In the present era, sport is one of the most important ways of developing effective educational and ethical and healthy activities among young people, which has expanded considerably. Sports scenes, although based on the rules governing exercise, sometimes damage the athletes due to the lack of ethical behavior and the sense of defeat of the players and the change in the method of combat, although some of the suggestions are that the athletes are happy with the acceptance of the injuries. In some cases, injuries have resulted in spinal cord death or even death of the athlete. Islamic jurisprudence has come to the conclusion that the injured person has been convicted of civil and criminal damages and injuries. And requests compensation for injured athlete. Considering the position of Islamic jurisprudence in promoting ethics and even a significant impact on the status and success of the sport, it is important to consider the moral indicators of Islamic jurisprudence as a strategy for promoting the level of ethical athletics.

The results showed that strategic intelligence has a significant effect on organizational change capacity in sport organizations (p = 0.01). The role of moderating the legal environment in the impact of strategic intelligence on organizational change capacity was also meaningful, and the model derived from the legal environment, strategic impact, and organizational change capacity were adequate. Attention to the strategic intelligence of managers and the preparation of an appropriate legal environment will increase the capacity of organizational change.
