Objective: The purpose of this study was to measuring the effective factors of controlling and monitoring the risk of sports research projects.
Methodology: The present study was applied in terms of purpose and survey type based on structural equations. The statistical population of the study includes researchers who have participated in sports research projects and 65 people were selected by purposive and available sampling. The collection tools of this research are risk control and monitoring questionnaires, quality control questionnaire, team development questionnaire, competency development questionnaire and risk analysis questionnaire. The face and content validity of these research tools were approved by professors and academic experts. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistical indicators such as frequency distribution tables and structural equation modeling with partial least squares approach (PLS).
Results: Risk analysis on quality control with path coefficient of 0.593, risk analysis on team development with path coefficient of 0.613, risk analysis on capability development with path coefficient of 0.623, risk control and monitoring on risk analysis with path coefficient of 0.663 in Sports research projects are influential. The findings also indicate that the value of GOF in this study is equal to 0.256, which indicates that the research model has a higher than average fit.
Conclusion: Finally, according to the research results, it can be said that in research projects, there is a need for a holistic and systematic view of risks. Risks also need to be prioritized in proportion to time and cost, and an appropriate pre-project response to each risk needs to be provided.

Objective: The purpose of the current study was to assess the partial effects of team identity dimensions on team loyalty among fans of football pro league in Iran, and providing a model for development of loyalty to pro league football teams. Methodology: The study was a descriptive survey done as a field one. Research population involved the fans of football teams being famous for having eager fans in football pro league. A sample of 236 fans was selected through random sampling. The research tools involved the questionnaires of Behavioral loyalty (Fink et al, 2003), and team identity (Koo, 2009). Questionnaire’s face validity was investigated according to 15 sport and marketing scholars, and questionnaire’s content validity was found to be 0.79. The questionnaire’s reliability was also found to be 0.82 according to Cronbach’s alpha. SPSS18 and AMOS20 were used for data analysis. Results: To measure the validity and fitness of the model, structural equations modeling (SEM) has been applied, and the relationships of variables were verified based on direction analysis. According to research findings the four dimensions of team identity had positive and significant effects on behavioral loyalty. Conclusion: The results of the current research revealed that four dimensions of team brand identity have significant and positive effect on team loyalty. So, development of managers’ perceptions about these factors can be an important tool for improving football team brand loyalty.
