Read More Objective: This research was conducted to study the role of job insecurity in emotional exhaustion and deviant behaviours in the workplace of tuition physical education teachers. Methodology: This applied study was conducted using a survey research method. The statistical population of this research included male and female tuition physical education teachers employed in elementary and secondary schools in Golestan province (N=227). All statistical population members were considered samples, and ultimately, 209 completed questionnaires were collected. The data collection tools of the research included questionnaires on job insecurity (Blotenberg & Richter, 2020), emotional exhaustion (Hills, 2014) and deviant behaviours (Țuclea et al., 2015). Five sports management experts confirmed the validity of the questionnaires. In a preliminary study, Cronbach's alpha coefficients were estimated as 0.77, 0.82, and 0.79 for job insecurity, emotional exhaustion, and deviant behaviours, respectively. The obtained data were analyzed descriptively (mean, standard deviation and percentage of variance) and inferentially (structural equation modelling). Results: The research showed that job insecurity has a positive and significant effect on the emotional exhaustion of tuition physical education teachers. Also, the lack of job security has a positive and significant effect on deviant behaviours in the work environment of tuition physical education teachers. Finally, the positive and significant effect of job insecurity on deviant behaviours in the work environment of tuition physical education teachers with the mediating role of emotional exhaustion was confirmed. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this research, it can be concluded that ignoring the job security of physical education teachers can cause emotional exhaustion over time and increase the possibility of them engaging in deviant behaviours. Therefore, creating a supportive environment for tuition physical education teachers and developing policies regarding changing their status in the Ministry of Education is suggested.

Fifteen experts were interviewed using grounded theory and Glazer's approach. Results: The findings showed that the supply chain approach can achieve the optimal model of sports talent from six perspectives. A) The interaction of the talent system with the sports environment; B) The capacity of the supply chain of the sports talent system; C) Perspective of optimizing the management of sports talent; D) The efficiency of the processes of sports talent cultivation; M) The self-efficacy of talents in the sports path. j) The securing of the interests of the stakeholders. Conclusion: Taking advantage of technological advances in sports talent management is necessary for "talent system interaction with sports environment." This way, significant successes can be achieved using advanced countries' interactive capacity. In the "capacity of the supply chain of the sports talent system," it is necessary to provide software and tools that facilitate the search for sports talent from the supply chain and communicate with large sports companies in the field of technology and equipment in this process. In "optimizing sports talent management," it is necessary to establish inter-organizational cooperation in the sports talent search system by concluding talent search memoranda between different organizations and coordinating and dividing labour between the country's recreational and championship sports organizations. In "Efficiency of Sports Talent Development Processes," it is necessary to provide tests for talent identification, appropriate strategic and operational plans, and essential facilities to maintain and preserve talents. From the point of view of securing the interests of the participants, it is required to improve the quality of education and training.

Read More Objective: The present research aimed to design a model of human resource development indicators within the Iraqi basketball system. This study was applied in nature and conducted qualitatively. Methodology: The prevailing framework of the research was pragmatism, employing a grounded theory strategy with a Glaser approach. The data collection sources included a literature review and semi-structured interviews. Participants in this study consisted of senior sports managers in Iraq, members of the federation and basketball association managers, faculty members from physical education faculty, basketball club managers, coaches, referees, and athletes. Purposeful sampling was utilized, employing a snowball method. The interviews reached theoretical saturation at 15 participants but were extended to 17 for greater assurance. MAXQDA software was used for coding, and the final model was developed. After data analysis and initial examination by the researcher, open, selective, and theoretical codes were ultimately identified. Results: The data analysis yielded 68 concepts, 16 subcategories, and five main categories: managers and staff (organization, planning, finance), referees (training, commitment, scientific), spectators (facilities, services, emotions), players (promotion and development, functional, economic), and coaches (technical, specialization, support, psychological). Conclusion: A primary focus in the development of human resources within the basketball system is the aspect of management. By concentrating on effective human resource management, talents can be identified, and employee performance can be enhanced. Additionally, the role of the coach, acting as an intermediary between management and players, is crucial for achieving success in sports arenas. Prioritizing objectives for players results from interaction with management and having a creative, well-trained coach. Based on the findings of this research, sports officials are encouraged to focus on human resources, enhance the educational system, and retain talented individuals to advance basketball in Iraq.

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.
