Statistical population included 700 M.A. students of sport management at Payame Noor University. 248 students were selected as the sample by cluster random sampling method. To achieve the research goals, Siberia Shrink Questionnaire of Emotional Intelligence, and Skarbove and Zimer Entrepreneurship Questionnaire were used. For data analysis, descriptive and inferential statistics including Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, Single Sample t student test, liner regression, and multiple regression were used with SPSS. The results indicated that the emotional intelligence of the students was not desirable while their entrepreneurship was average. Besides, there was a significant relationship between emotional intelligence and entrepreneurship of the students, that is to say emotional intelligence could predict their entrepreneurship. From sub-components of emotional intelligence, self-awareness, empathy and social skills only could predict their entrepreneurship.

This study was descriptive correlation in terms of data collection. The population consisted of employees of the Ministry of Sport and Youth. 281 subjects were selected as the sample. With a survey of the research literature, the variables were identified; then, the primary model of the study was designed and a questionnaire was prepared. The validity of this questionnaire was confirmed by some of academic experts with factor analysis technique. Internal reliability of Moral Intelligence, Organizational Trust and Organizational Health Questionnaires was calculated (0.825, 0.810, and 0.855) using Cronbach's alpha method. Correlation coefficients and SEM were used to analyze data. The results showed that moral intelligence had the effect size of 0.44 on organizational trust and effect size of 0.61 on organizational health. In addition, the effect size of organizational trust on organizational health was 0.64. The presented model of this study confirmed the effect of moral intelligence on organizational health through organizational trust.

The statistical population included sport management experts who had the proper knowledge, experience and expertise in sport management and commercialization of knowledge. A researcher-made questionnaire was used to collect data. In order to structure the barriers affecting the commercialization of sport management knowledge, interpretive structural modeling and exploratory factor analysis method were used. Therefore, SPSS software was used for exploratory factor analysis. The MicMac software was used to investigate and analyze the interpretive structural modeling. The results of exploratory factor analysis revealed that totally 6 factors (management, infrastructure, educational, cultural, financial and personal) included 85.976% of the total variance of the items. The results also showed that personal, skill and environmental barriers were key independent barriers that affected other barriers. According to these findings, it was determined that it is necessary to pay attention to some personal, skill and environmental barriers in order to develop the commercialization of knowledge of sport management and there should be planning to eliminate these barriers.

Abstract
The process of sports coach education and development (SCED) is complex and dynamic. The purpose of this investigation was to develop a model for SCED framework. For this purpose, an emergent (emerging) grounded theory approach was used to explore what aspects and factors are important in SCED, and how the education, evaluation and development of sports coaching should be. Themes on SCED were derived by a qualitative study. Data collection was performed through semi-structured and in-depth interviews with experienced experts involved in coach education (N = 18 expert interviewees) who selected by using a purposeful sampling procedure. The transcripts of interviews were read and then coding was done. Synthesizing the main themes led to the development of a model, consisting important aspects of SCED. The most important elements of the model include: recruitment and admission; educational administration; the process of coaches’ development and promotion; long-term coach education; continuous feedback; trained advanced coach; as well as barriers. The model can be used in sports coach education and development and provide roadmaps for future research on sports coaching.
