Objective: This study aims to examine the barriers to employment in Iran's sports labor market, with a particular emphasis on the macroenvironment, by synthesizing previous research.Methodology: The research employed a qualitative meta-synthesis approach using qualitative content analysis. The statistical population included all domestic studies conducted between 2001 and 2023. A total of 580 studies relevant to the topic were evaluated, and 31 articles were purposefully selected. Using Sandelowski and Barroso's seven-step framework, the findings of previous research related to the study's objectives were analyzed, aggregated, synthesized, and interpreted. Through coding methods, 21 sub-themes and five main themes were identified.Results: The results categorized macroenvironmental barriers to employment in Iran's sports labor market into five main themes: economic barriers, cultural and social barriers, political barriers, knowledge and technology barriers, and legal and regulatory barriers.Conclusion: The findings indicate that employment development in Iran's sports sector faces numerous challenges within the macroenvironment. To address these challenges, a comprehensive and long-term approach by policymakers, managers, and economic stakeholders in this sector is essential. A deeper understanding of macroenvironmental barriers can help design more effective policies and strategies to promote employment in the sports labor market. These strategies may include economic reforms, political improvements, social support, technological advancements, and legal changes. Implementing such measures can create new and sustainable job opportunities in Iran's sports industry.

Methodology: The research method was qualitative and thematic analysis. The statistical population of the research was all people who are knowledgeable and involved in the economic issues of football, and the snowball sampling method (linear type) was used. Data were collected through internal and semi-structured interviews with 12 experts.
Results: The results of the theme analysis include ten main themes that expand the underground economy in Iranian football, including 1. Unsystematic betting 2. Susceptibility of football to money laundering 3. Weakness of the tax system and culture in sports 4. Weakness of laws and tightening of prohibitions 5. Policies Economic defect 6. Structural-organizational inefficiency in football 7. Management weakness in football 8. Government administration and government rents 9. Corruption and lack of resistance to fight against it 10. Institutional dysfunction. Which were placed in the 4 main cultural, legal, political-economic and structural-organizational dimensions.
Conclusion: In general, according to the findings of the research, it can be concluded that in order to reduce the underground economy in the sports industry, especially football, the administrative and management system of football should be depoliticized and the government's interference in this field should be minimized. Also, while developing the tax culture, the provincial tax system should be formulated according to the specific characteristics of football and by providing a platform for privatization in football, the possibility of free competition can be created.

Objective: In the present study, the position of the sports industry in the Iran economy and its relationship with other economic activities are investigated.Methodology: The present study is analytical and descriptive in terms of method and practical in terms of purpose. The method of data collection is by library and the position of the sports industry is investigated by complex networks. The nodes in this network represent the economic activities and the weight of the edges that connect the nodes according to the input-output table determined and then by using the centrality criteria the position of the sports industry in the Iran economy examined.Results: According to the results, the sports industry is ranked 1st for betweenness and 2nd for in-closeness. The results show that real estate had the greatest impact on the sports industry. Also, the sports industry has the greatest impact on the education sector.Conclusion: According to the ranking for betweenness centrality, more industries need the sports industry to connect faster to each other. The in-closeness ranking of the sports industry also indicates that the sports industry can receive input from other industries in a shorter period of time. The impact of the sports industry on real estate is due to the use of halls and grounds for various sports. The impact of sport on education also shows the important impact of sport on the promotion of human capital.

Objective: This research was conducted with the aim of developing a model of factors affecting the commercialization of sports.Methodology:The research method was performed qualitatively using a systematic design of data-based theory. In order to gather information, in-depth and semi-structured interviews were used and information was analyzed by Gliseir paradigm. The statistical population of the study included professors and activists in the field of sports economics. Targeted theoretical techniques and snowballs were selected. Due to the limitations of the community, the sample size will be equal to the community size. Some scientists consider 10 to 15 people, if their scientific and experimental background is homogeneous, to be sufficient to form a group of experts. In this study, 14 people were interviewed. And from the interview 11 later repetition was observed in the received data and in interview 13 it was saturated. The analysis of qualitative data encoding method three open, axial and selective used. Reliability and validity were confirmed through the percentage of agreement within the subject and the approval of the statistical group and the interviewees.Results: Based on the findings, The research findings showed that various factors such as cultural factors, organizational factors, social factors, legal factors and structural factors affect the commercialization of sports.Conclusion: In general, Therefore, in the policies of managers of sports organizations, these factors should be given special attention.

Objective: The purpose of this research was to designing and explaining the framework of entrepreneurship ecosystem in Sport.Methodology: The research method was systematic qualitative. The statistical population consisted of professors, managers, business owners, entrepreneurs, innovators, inventors and advisers in the field of sports industry. The statistical sample was selected and deliberately selected on a targeted and accessible basis based on the relevance of the subject and the scientific validity. The research instrument consisted of three tools: library study, semi-guided exploratory interview and two-step Delphi technique. The validity of each research tools was based on sample validity and the coefficient of agreement between Specialists and experts was approved.Results: After analyzing the data collected from coding and framing and structural and systematic analysis, Researchers identify the main actors in the creation of an entrepreneurship ecosystem in sport, which include six main areas: entrepreneurial environment; human capital; entrepreneurial leadership; places, equipment, and sports services; financing; and, entrepreneurship infrastructure.
