Read More Objective: The purpose of this research was to design a model of factors influencing psychological terror management among physical education teachers in West Azerbaijan Province. Methodology: This research employed a qualitative approach and utilized the Grounded Theory method. The study's statistical population included all physical education teachers in West Azerbaijan Province. Among them, 18 expert and elite physical education teachers were selected using purposive and snowball sampling methods until theoretical saturation was achieved. The data collection tool consisted of semi-structured interviews. To examine the reliability of the data, the test-retest method and two coders' reliability were used. To assess the validity of the data, member checking, triangulation, peer examination, and credibility strategies were employed. Results: The results of the research, through three stages of open, axial, and selective coding, indicated the extraction of 45 final codes and 17 concepts, within a conceptual model, causal factors (conflictual, individual, organizational, political, and power groups, managerial, cultural), contextual factors (livelihood and economic, social, educational system), intervening conditions (environmental factors, legal void in dealing with psychological terror), the central category (Workplace psychological terror), strategies (coping and prevention), and outcomes (individual, organizational, and social) were categorized that organizational mobbing explained the situation of physical education teachers and showed the relationships between them. Conclusion: Psychological terror exists among teachers and is an inevitable phenomenon. Therefore, the results of this research can serve as a guide for human resource planners, especially educational managers, to identify and recognize disruptive behaviors in the work environment, to recognize how to deal with and manage the phenomenon of psychological terror, and to reduce its effects, and take adequate measures.

Methodology: The nature of the research is qualitative and exploratory. To collect data, in-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 experts in the field of entrepreneurship and sports startups, including founders of sports startups, managers of science and technology parks and growth centers, university professors, and elites in the field of sports entrepreneurship. Sampling was purposeful. Then the data was analyzed by the thematic analysis method. Results: The results showed that educational content and policies can play a role in the sports startup ecosystem through technical, communication, and management training, needs assessment and educational goal setting, entrepreneurial orientation training, educational procedures, evaluation system, and educational and research infrastructures. Human capital also plays a crucial role in the sports startup ecosystem, encompassing the knowledge and skills required by startup businesses, the entrepreneurial capabilities and cognitive characteristics of entrepreneurs, agile and dynamic management, and effective team-building capabilities. Conclusion: The human capital factor and its education, as two important pillars of the sports startup ecosystem, require serious attention in our country. In this context, sports policymakers should invest in the development of education and research to improve the quality of human capital and promote it in the startup ecosystem. Additionally, the prevailing atmosphere in our schools and universities is not conducive to developing the human resources required for entrepreneurial or startup activities. Therefore, revising the courses offered in schools and universities can be an important step toward improving the ecosystem. Developing industry-university relations will be fruitful both in the field of formal and informal education and in creating an entrepreneurial spirit and orientation. Furthermore, education extends beyond individuals and students to inform and educate officials and policymakers, playing a crucial role in enhancing human capital quality and fostering a thriving ecosystem.

Read More Objective: This research aimed to examine the lived experiences of physical education teachers concerning the challenges of implementing inclusive sports in schools. Methodology: A qualitative approach was employed for this study. Participants were purposefully selected using snowball sampling, comprising physical education teachers from regular schools who had at least one student with physical disabilities in their class during the academic year. This ensured their direct involvement in inclusive sports and relevant experience in this area. Ultimately, 12 physical education teachers were chosen as the sample for the study. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews conducted via telephone. Given the advantages of thematic analysis—such as flexibility, the ability to summarize large volumes of data, and the capacity to analyze and develop policy-related insights—the researchers utilized this method for data interpretation. Results: Data analysis revealed that the challenges of implementing inclusive physical education included individual characteristics, a lack of scientific and professional preparedness among teachers, the competitive nature of sports, inadequate environments and equipment, varying levels of student learning, insufficient support systems, and a lack of focus on training teachers in the principles of inclusive sports. Conclusion: Data analysis indicated that the current state of inclusive sports implementation in schools is unsatisfactory. Despite numerous challenges, such as inadequate environments and equipment, as well as insufficient support at both micro and macro levels, physical education teachers are pivotal to the success or failure of inclusive sports implementation. Unlike other challenges that may require significant time and financial resources to address, training physical education teachers demands comparatively less investment. It can yield a more profound impact on the implementation of inclusive sports in schools. Therefore, developing a curriculum focused on inclusive physical education within the undergraduate program at Farhangian University, along with offering in-service training courses in this area, can significantly facilitate the program's implementation in the short term.

Read More Objective: Professional sports, as a pivotal field for promoting the economy, culture, and communication of the Iranian sports sector, face challenges such as human and cultural discrimination. These challenges affect not only the stadium environment and team management but also players and fans. The purpose of this study is to develop scenarios for addressing apartheid management styles in Iranian professional sports clubs, focusing on human and cultural discrimination. Methodology: The present study employed a qualitative approach, combining data-based theory with the Charms constructivist framework. In this study, a multi-faceted scenario planning approach was employed to develop future scenarios for addressing the apartheid management style in Iranian professional sports clubs, utilizing stakeholders' perspectives on critical trends and uncertainties to create action-oriented strategies. The participants of the present analytical and exploratory research included 23 domestic and foreign stakeholders of Iranian professional sports who were selected based on purposive sampling. Data collection was done by interview and an open questionnaire. Data analysis was done with Leipzig and Rolandberger’s six-step scenario-writing model. Results: After implementing the six-step scenario-writing process, the output of the 360-degree stakeholder feedback tool included 29 main factors that could potentially influence the future of confronting the apartheid management style in Iranian professional sports clubs. Two key uncertainties were identified: "the impact of government policies and legal regulations on sports management" and "the impact of sanctions and financial needs on sports management." Four scenarios were presented. Finally, the strategy of "Sports cohesion: achieving justice and financial sustainability" was presented as the primary strategy of this research. Conclusion: Cohesion helps strengthen trust between members of the sports community, creates a sense of fairness and justice in access to sports opportunities, and increases the financial sustainability and better performance of clubs.

Read More Objective: The objective of this study was to develop a pattern of job enthusiasm among employees in the sports and youth departments of Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari province. Methodology: This exploratory qualitative research utilized the grounded theory method. The research population consisted of faculty members in sports management, as well as managers and experts in human resource management. A purposive sampling method was applied employing the snowball technique. Data were gathered through semi-structured interviews, totaling 19 interviews, with theoretical saturation achieved after 17 interviews. The data were analyzed in three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. To confirm reliability, the test-retest method and recoding by other researchers were employed. Three interviews were recorded, resulting in an inter-rater reliability of 88%. Results: The results showed that a total of 140 non-repeating initial codes were generated during the open coding process. These codes were grouped into 16 concepts based on thematic similarity. Then, these concepts were placed into six categories. These concepts and categories include: causal conditions (individual factors, organizational factors); background conditions (job factors); interfering factors (environmental conditions and limiting factors); central category (work enthusiasm, mental enthusiasm, supportive enthusiasm, and value enthusiasm); strategies (employee empowerment and training, improving the quality of work life, paying attention to health and organizational justice, and promoting employee-manager relations); and consequences (personal development, organizational development, and trans-organizational development). Conclusion: To fully realize the benefits of fostering job enthusiasm among employees, it is essential to implement strategies focused on training and empowerment, health and organizational justice, improving the quality of work life, and strengthening employee-manager relationships. Based on the findings, managers of sports and youth departments in Chaharmahal and Bakhtiari Province are advised to use the proposed pattern as a practical guide to enhance employee job enthusiasm.

Read More Objective: This study aimed to identify the challenges faced by volunteers during the 16th Cultural and Sports Olympiad for male university students in Iran, hosted by the University of Isfahan. Methodology: The research method was qualitative and applied with a specific purpose. The study population included event volunteers and managers. Participants were selected through purposive sampling until theoretical saturation was reached, resulting in interviews with 15 volunteers and five managers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews lasting 20 to 30 minutes each. Braun and Clarke's six-step method was used for data analysis. Strategies such as rich descriptions, ethical considerations, peer review, critical friends, and member checking were employed to ensure the credibility of the findings. Results: The results revealed four main themes: managerial challenges, support and empowerment challenges, emotional and motivational challenges, and social and cultural challenges. Managerial challenges included four sub-themes: time management and planning, volunteer organization, communication and team coordination, and legal and contractual issues. Support and empowerment challenges encompassed four sub-themes: provision of equipment and financial resources, physical support and care, training and capacity building, and safety and security. Emotional and motivational challenges included two sub-themes: volunteer motivation and satisfaction, and psychological-emotional difficulties. Finally, social and cultural challenges consisted of two sub-themes: interpersonal conflicts and issues, and cultural challenges. Conclusion: The findings suggest that the training and empowerment process of volunteers in sporting events requires precise planning and the implementation of appropriate training programs. Additionally, proper support, specialized capacity-building in various dimensions, and addressing volunteers' basic needs (autonomy, relatedness, and competence) can significantly mitigate potential challenges.

Read More Summary At the beginning of the 21st century one of the new problems reported in the world sports sector was match-fixing. Every year, a large number of collusions are reported in domestic competitions or world competitions under the supervision of the committees or world federations, and this can have many consequences. Introduction Match-fixing is ranked the third in corruption in sports, which can be defined as a deceptive act or action in order to determine the outcome of a match before it is carried out. Collusion can have many consequences for the players, referees, coaches, league managers, fans, and supporters (Peurela, 2013). Match-fixing in sport can also have other definitions if it can affect a course or outcome of a sporting event in order to gain an advantage for one person or for the others (individuals or institutions) and eliminate all or part of the uncertainty in the length of a competition (Moriconi, 2016). Carrying out research works that can lead to the aggregation and analysis of the opinions of different experts will probably lead to a reduction in the decision-making time of club managers in order to combat this phenomenon for a fair athlete benefit from sports and maintain the sanctity of clean sports. Therefore, the main question will be answered in the two axes of contexts and strategies so that what components are effective on the formation of collusion in sports. After identifying these components, the main question is the strategies available to combat collusion or reduce the opportunity to create it. Methodology and Approach This research work was a qualitative one in terms of the strategy type, and the grounded theory was used in terms of the research method. The participants in this work included the knowledgeable people, managers, coaches and athletes, psychologists, sociologists, and sports science professors who were familiar with the issue of corruption, and 18 people were selected non-randomly and by snowballs. The research tool was semi-structured interviews; before the interviews and at the first stage of the work, by studying the research background and collecting the library information, some existing cases were identified. After the interviews, the findings were analyzed using the contextual method. In this way, after conducting and editing the interviews, different views were coded and classified in the same conceptual groups and then analyzed qualitatively. Result and Conclusion The results obtained showed that the legal, economic, public pressure, prejudice, athlete morale, control, professionalism, and social and sports nature were among the factors associated with match-fixing. The strategies including the financial management reform, education, transparency, structuring, and social organization were also identified. The strategies could be examined at three levels: individual, organizational, and extra-organizational. At the extra-organizational level, the social organizing strategies were considered; at the organizational level, education, transparency, financial management, and structuring; and finally, at the individual level, retraining could be emphasized. An athlete or professional coach should first help reduce deviant situations in the sport by promoting the ethical professionalism. Also the structure of sports clubs and leagues should limit the possibility and opportunity of collusion by creating the transparent financial structures and emergence of the Islamic and Iranian cultures.
