The aim of this study is to present a model of indicators for improving the productivity of sports organization managers in Iran. The research method is mixed (in the qualitative part, the modified classical Delphi method and in the quantitative part, descriptive-analytical). The statistical population in the qualitative part includes the country's top sports managers, from whom the research sample was selected in a purposeful and accessible manner, numbering 30 people. The statistical population in the quantitative part includes the managers of the Ministry of Sports and the National Olympic Committee, the general managers of sports and youth of the provinces, the managers of sports federations, the heads of sports boards of the provinces, and the managers of sports and youth departments of the counties, numbering 314 people, whose samples were selected by random-stratified sampling. The data collection tool in the qualitative part was interviews, and in the quantitative part, a researcher-made questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics, and confirmatory factor analysis was performed using LISREL software version 8.5. Based on the results, five indicators were identified for developing the effectiveness of sports managers, which in order of priority are: development of individual skills (0.927), development of environmental supports (0.864), development of organizational behavior (0.861), scientific development (0.725), and development of personality traits (0.682). According to the research findings, strengthening the identified skills in sports organization managers can increase their productivity.

The aim of this study was to analyze the factor structure of the Islamic financial literacy model among employees of sports and youth departments in Khorasan Razavi. The research method was descriptive and correlational, and was conducted in the field. The statistical population of the research consisted of all employees of the sports and youth departments of Khorasan Razavi, from whom 254 questionnaires were collected through convenient sampling. In order to collect data, the Islamic financial literacy questionnaire made by Dink et al. (2021) which consisted of 20 questions was used. In order to analyze the data, descriptive indices and statistical tests of Cronbach's alpha coefficient, McDonald's omega coefficient, theta coefficient, Brown's classification, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used in SPSS, Lisrel and Stata statistical software. The results showed the reliability of the questionnaire (θ=0.927, Ω=0.902, α=0.899). Also, all the questions had a significant relationship with the components and could be a good predictor for their factor. Finally, the results showed that the components of financial behavior, financial attitude, financial knowledge, and financial awareness are good predictors of the concept of Islamic financial literacy. Therefore, it is concluded that the Islamic Financial Literacy Questionnaire is a reliable and valid scale that can be used to evaluate the financial performance of organizational employees in the field of Islamic financial literacy and obtain stable and reliable results.
