Objective: The main purpose of this research is to formulate a private sector investment model with an emphasis on sporting events.Methodology: The present study is descriptive-analytical and applied in terms of purpose. In the qualitative part of the research, 30 people purposefully and in the quantitative part, according to Cochran's formula, people from the presidents of sports federations, managers of sports clubs, financial sponsors, managers of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, professors and physical education specialists and all members of the think tank of the Ministry of Sports. Iranian youth were selected as a research sample. A 53-item researcher-made questionnaire was used to achieve the research objectives. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by 15 experts and the construct validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis. Combined reliability indices (CR) and Cronbach's alpha were higher than 0.7 for all constructs and the whole questionnaire. Delphi method was used to analyze the data in the qualitative part in three steps. In the quantitative part, descriptive and inferential statistical methods such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov, confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis were used with the help of SPSS 22 and Smartpls software.Results: The results showed that economic factors as the most important and first category (0.325), managerial factors (0.278) in the second place, cultural factors (0.267) in the third place, and legal factors (0.213) It ranks fourth and structural factors (0.193) are effective in private sector investment and participation in national and international sporting events.Conclusion: The results of the research show that providing economic, managerial and cultural solutions as the most important components can lead to investment and participation of the private sector in the Iranian sports industry.

Objective: The aim of this research was to design a development model of the sport for all in Hormozgan province. Methodology: It was an analytical survey. The research population included all the experts in sport for all (lecturers at universities, managers, experts and coaches) in Hormozgan province. The number of 241 participants was selected in order to be interviewed to make a final model. The instrument was a structured questionnaire designed according to the theoretical studies (library study method) and experimental way (interview). The main dimensions included the environmental dimension, management dimension, resource dimension and behavioral which the questionnaire had 66 items in general. Face and content validity was confirmed by experts (15 people), reliability was measured by Cronbach’s alpha (α=0.94) and construct validity was verified using confirmatory factor analysis. The data was analyzed by structural equation modeling using Amos 20 software. Results: The factor analysis defined the theoretical construction fit. The path analysis of dimensions about sport for all development indicated that the environmental dimension influenced 0.90 of the management dimension, 0.56 of the resource dimension and 0.45 of the behavioral dimension. Moreover, the management dimension influenced 0.97 of the behavioral dimension, and 0.91 of the resource dimension. Finally, the resource dimension influenced 0.66 of the behavioral dimension. Conclusion: According to the findings, the development of sport for all in Hormozgan province depends on the environmental factors, managerial factors, resource and finally behavioral factors. Therefore, the policies to develop sport for all should be in line with the defined and analyzed model.
