Objective: The objective of this research was to design a needs assessment model for physical education teachers.
Methodology: The research method used in this study was qualitative (content analysis and theme analysis) and applied. The research consisted of two parts: analysis of key transformative documents (national curriculum and fundamental transformation document of education) and interviews with experts and specialists in the field of physical education, measurement and evaluation, and education (professors from national universities and the University of Frahangian), experts and managers (current and retired officials from the Ministry of Education at the provincial level), and physical education teachers (exemplary department heads, current and retired teachers). The selection of the sample in the analysis of the content of transformational documents was purposeful and in the experts' section it was non-random.The research tool was semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using coding techniques with MAXQDA 20 software. The validity and reliability of the research were ensured through harmonization, including multiple methods (content analysis of documents and interviews), multiple sources (professors, managers, experts, teachers, etc.) , and multiple coders (two coders).
Results: In total 8 Global themes, 29 organized themes, and 115 basic themes were identified. Pedagogical knowledge of physical education, technological knowledge, structural knowledge, research knowledge, specialized knowledge, professional knowledge, and transformative documents are among the most important subjects that should be considered in the training of physical education teachers.
Conclusion: It is suggested to the trustees of the Ministry of Education to change the educational goals and topics of physical education teachers based on the needs identified in this research. It is also suggested that Farhangian University should revise the curriculum headings of "Physical Education Secretary" based on these needs.

Objective: The purpose of this study was the effect of organizational civilization on organizational image with the mediating role of documenting experiences and organization's social network in the Tehran Municipal Sports Organization.Methodology: The research method was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population included all employees of the Tehran Municipality Sports Organization. A statistical sample was estimated to be sufficient for PLS modeling software (158 people), and its was used in the stratified-random sampling method. The research tool included a redesigned questionnaire from previous research for four variables on a 5-point Likert scale. The content validity of the instrument was evaluated using experts' opinion (9 people), and the construct validity was evaluated using model fit indices.Results: The results show that the direct effect of organizational culture on organizational image is significant. Also the indirect effect of organizational culture on organizational image was significant through the two mediating variables of organizational social network and organizational experiences. In addition, separately, the impact of organizational civilization on social network and organizational experiences and their impact on organizational image was also significant. The effect of organizational social network on documentation was also significant.Conclusion: Therefore, it can be said that although organizational civilization leads to the promotion of the image of the organization in the environment, the documentation of experiences and social networking significantly strengthen the civilization-illustration relationship. Therefore, it is suggested that Tehran Municipal Sports Organization use the concepts and manifestations of civilized organizations in order to reflect a suitable image of the organization in the environment, as a key to use the two strategies of documentary experiences and social network.

Objective: The purpose of this work was to investigate the effects of organizational rumors, perceived organizational support, and organizational discrimination on the organizational indifferences between the employees in the Physical Education departments in the Education Ministry.
Methodology: This research work was carried out by a descriptive field method. The whole employees of the Physical Education departments in the Education Ministry were the statistical population; the work was based on the Cochran’s sample size formula. In order to collect information, the organizational rumors of Moqimi and Qafari (2012), perceived organizational support questionnaire (POSQ), organizational discrimination questionnaire (ODQ), and organizational indifference questionnaire (OIQ) were used. The descriptive methods were used to analyze the data, and to determine the effects, the structural equation modeling (SEM) through the software LISREL 8.2 was used.
Results: Data analysis of the results obtained showed that the organizational rumors were effective on the perceived organizational support (pc = 0.45), organizational discrimination (pc = 0.59), and the organizational indifferences (pc = 0.43). Also, the organizational discrimination was effective on the organizational indifferences (pc = -0.39) and the perceived organizational support was effective on the organizational indifferences (pc = 0.61).
Conclusion: Generally, the organizational indifference is a function of many variables, and hence, to reduce the organizational indifferences between the employees in the Physical Education departments in the Education Ministry, many variables must be considered. We can decrease the organizational indifferences between the employees in the Physical Education departments through a systematic perspective. In order to decrease the organizational indifferences, we must manage the organizational rumors, decrease the organizational discrimination, and increase the organizational support.
