Validity of these tools were confirm by 11 university professors, and its reliability was calculated by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient for job attitude (α=0.90) and appropriateness of course content (α =0.89). Results: Analysis of λ2 showed women (λ2= 25; P= .001) and masters’ graduates (λ2= 26.83; P= .001) more involved in the jobs associated to physical education course than others. Based on Kroskal Wallis results, graduates attitudes of jobs associated to physical education course (graduates of 2006) to dimensions of feedback, problem solving and entire attitudes were positive, while graduates attitudes of jobs no associated to physical education were positive only on task identify and authority (P≤ .05). Additionally, graduates who had jobs associated to physical education course achieved more skills of volunteer work (λ2= 14.28; P= .001) and coach card (λ2= 14.54; P= .001) than another graduates. Conclusion: It seems that occupation capacity of physical education and sport sciences graduates of University of Guilan is high and they can achieve adequate job skill during the study time and find professional positive attitudes after the occupation.

Objective: In contrast to job design, job crafting is staff-based and it makes work meaningful. Regarding lack of exact questionnaire to evaluate this phenomenon, this research has been conducted with aim of localizing the job crafting scale (JCS) in sport. Methodology: There were 191 staff in the ministry of youth affairs and sports randomly selected by Krejcie and Morgan table (1970) and they responded to 21 items questionnaire of job crafting scale by Tims et al (2012). Also, initial face validity and reliability of questionnaire were confirmed by 17 professors as well as some individuals of statistical sample. Results: The exploratory factor analysis showed that the four components including rise of structural job resources, decline of hindering job demands, rise of social job resources, and rise of challenging job demands reflected job crafting of sport human resource (accounting for 64% of the total variance) excluding item 6 and item 21. In particular, rise of social job resources component was the strongest component of job crafting in the sport human resources (R2= 0.65). Conclusion: The researchers can use the 19-items job crafting scale to do research in the scope of sport human resource.

Objective:The aim of present study was to design the organizational culture model of Iranian sports federations. To this end, various investigations were done from sport experts (five team sports federations and five individual sports federations) and the 253 employees selected for this research. Methodology: In order to collect data, Organizational Culture Assessment Instrument (OCAI) consisting of six factors with 24 items was used. The construct validity (NFI= 0.93, CFI= 0.92, GFI= 0.91, RMSEA= 0.062, χ2/df= 2.60) and internal reliability (r = 0.88) were good. The questionnaires were distributed among the sample. Analyses were done by Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling using SPSS and LISREL. Results: Results indicated that the most intercorrelation exists between the strategic emphases and achievement indexes (r = 0.82, p≤ 0.001). The factors of obvious characteristics (E= 1.00) and strategic emphases (E= 1.36) are the best predictors of organizational culture model in Iranian sports federations. Conclusion: In addition to the other aspects of organizational culture such as organizational leadership and employee management, we can also expect that the applied and executive fundamentals of sport achievement and effectiveness are provided by focusing on strategic emphases.
