The aim of this study is to identify the key factors contributing to the excellence of the National Table Tennis Federation at an international level and to provide practical implementation solutions. The research design employed a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) utilizing a mixed-exploratory strategy. The qualitative phase involved the participation of 15 sports management professionals, professors, knowledgeable managers, and experts, while the quantitative phase involved 12 participants from the previous phase, selected using purposeful and criteria-based sampling methods. The qualitative data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method, while the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was used to analyze the quantitative data. The study identified five main concepts that influence the excellence of the federation, namely relations and organizational support, human resource factors, contextual factors, organizational factors, and sports factors. In addition, the study identified three main strategies that were effective in promoting excellence: organizational strategies, structural strategies, and sports-technical strategies. Based on the findings, the key factors contributing to the success of the National Table Tennis Federation were identified as sports factors, organizational relations and support, organizational structure, human resource factors, and contextual factors. To achieve excellence at the international level, it is recommended that the table tennis federation implement organizational, structural, and technical strategies in a continuous and integrated manner.

Aquatic parks have always been welcomed by the community in leisure time. The purpose of this study was to examining the model of internal and external factors affecting the satisfaction and loyalty of customers of recreational-sports services. The present research was applied research, in terms of analytical, descriptive-correlational method. The statistical population included all customers of aquatic parks in the country. The sample size was considered to be simple random using Morgan's table formula for the unlimited population. Data were collected through researcher-made questionnaire to measure internal and external factors affecting customers’ satisfaction and loyalty on a 5-point Likert scale. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics were used to analyze the data. The results of examining the relationships between the observed variables and the current variable showed that the structure of the tool is suitable for testing the model. Also, the Findings of the research showed that internal and external factors model affecting customers’ satisfaction and loyalty of recreation- sport service has a strong and good fit. According to the results of the research and considering the effective internal and external factors, Aquatic parks managers can take steps to increase the level of satisfaction and loyalty of their customers.

Empowerment of female sports managers affects the performance of sports organizations. The purpose of this study was to develop a conceptual model of professional empowerment of female managers in sports organizations. The statistical population included two sections of human resources (managers, professors, etc.) and information resources (books, articles, documents, etc.) related to the research topic. Adequate sampling with a judgmental method based on achieving theoretical saturation (n=17) with research tools included systematic library study and structured exploratory interviews. The validity of the instrument was evaluated and confirmed based on the legal and scientific validity of the sample, expert opinion and agreement between the correctors. The conceptual model consisted of three consecutive levels of contextual, structural-process and functional (89 components, 22 dimensions and 10 perspectives). Background level in two perspectives of national management and sports environment; A structural-process level component also includes five perspectives; Strategy, system capacity building, information supply, organizational context and job preparation; Functional levels also included perspectives on empowerment, professionalization, and professional empowerment outcomes.

The purpose of this research was to design a simulation model for the development of organizational spirituality in sports organizations. This study is done from the point of view of the goal of an exploratory research that is mixed with the research method and based on deductive-inductive reasoning. The statistical population of the research includes 12 theoretical experts (university professors) and practical experts (managers of sports organizations). Sampling is a non-probability and purposeful method, and it is a tool for data collection, interview and questionnaire. To analyze the specialized interviews, the theme analysis method has been used. And then the relationship model has been tested by the Dematel method. Finally, the development model of organizational spirituality has been simulated using the factor based modeling approach. The analysis of the research data was done in the qualitative phase with Maxqda20 software and in the quantitative phase with Excel and AnyLogic software. Based on the research results, 46 primary codes, 10 sub themes and 4 main themes were counted. Also, the simulation results showed that the presented model can provide an appropriate estimate of the future of organizational spirituality development in sports organizations.

The purpose of this research is to identify and analyze the most likely scenario for the development of futsal in the country. The research is based on a prospective research approach, which is applied purpose and survey method. The statistical population includes all experts who have the knowledge and experience in championship and professional sports and futsal. Sampling is in the form of a snowball. 12 interviews conducted with experts. Various techniques and tools such as interviews, expert panels and questionnaires were used. Techniques such as Delphi technique, cross effects analysis, structural analysis, balance of mutual effects and Mic Mac and Scenario Wizard software were also used in data processing. 34 influential factors of futsal development in the country were identified. Using the analysis method (cross-effects) and Mic Mac software, the position of each factor in the obtained system was determined, and 8 drivers were identified as the most key future makers in the development of futsal , and by using them, the most likely basket The country's futsal development scenario was obtained, and in this basket of scenarios, all 8 drivers will occur in a disaster mode in a 10-year time horizon.
