The purpose of this research was to design an interpretative structural model of factors affecting the accountability of managers of sports organizations. 

The method of this research was mixed and its design was exploratory. The statistical population of this research was made up of experts (headquarters of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, National Olympic Committee, National Paralympic Committee and heads of sports federations), 17 of them were selected purposefully and based on theoretical saturation. . A semi-structured interview was used to collect data in a qualitative study, and a questionnaire was used to collect information in a quantitative study. In order to check the quality and validity of the findings, the audit of validity, transferability, reliability and verifiability was used, and to analyze the data of the qualitative study, coding was used, and the structural-interpretive analysis method was used for the quantitative study. 

As a result of qualitative data analysis, 12 effective factors on the accountability of managers of sports organizations were identified, and as a result of quantitative data analysis, these factors were categorized into five levels, and the variables of individual context, clarification and disambiguation were identified, awareness and enforcement of rights and specialized field are among the most fundamental layer. 

The results show that in order to move on the complex path of accountability of managers of sports organizations, individual and specialized capacity must be created at the beginning and at the same time, attention should be paid to informing and enforcing rights, as well as clarifying and removing ambiguity.

Accountability is one of the perquisites of modern governance today, so the main purpose of this study was to investigate the accountability system in physical education departments and higher education institutions, and to design a productivity management model based on accountability.

This research work adopted a mixed methology (qualitative-quantitative), and falls into the category of applied research in terms of its objective. The statistical population of the research work in the qualitative section consisted of practicing and academic experts in universities at their departments of physical education and in higher education institutions; and in the quantitative section, it consisted of the all heads and deputies at the General Department of Physical Education of the Student Affairs Organization (86 individuals) and deputies and senior experts at the physical education departments in universities and higher education institutions (31 provinces), who were identified and selected through the cluster-sampling method. In the qualitative section, the authors conducted a systematic analysis based on the grounded theory (Strauss and Corbin's paradigm model, 2006). In the quantitative section, the authors developed a questionnaire based on the findings of the qualitative section, and after confirming the construct validity through confirmatory factor analysis, examined the fit of the obtained quantitative model based on structural equation modeling using the Smart PLS software.

Inefficiency of the accountability system in physical education departments and higher education institutions is evident. The results helped identify causal factors, contextual factors, intervening factors, strategies, and outcomes related to the productivity model based on the accountability system. The causal factors addressed the inefficiency of systems, organizational aspects, work autonomy, work support aspects, inefficiency, financial aspects, and lack of institutional accountability. The contextual factors addressed the technical, human, and cultural aspects. The intervening factors addressed structural conditions, infrastructures, and the accountability process. Taking initiatives such as micro-, mid-, and macro-level strategies could pave the way to achieving outcomes such as transparency, improved performance, higher degrees of trust, enhanced motivation, greater effectiveness of the measures, and to prevent loss of resources and capabilities.

Reorganization of the administrative system of the physical education departments and higher education institutions, development of individual and organizational accountability, training of human resources and meritocracy, development of an accountability culture in the organization, and attention to infrastructures and financial aspects are among the practical research suggestions.

The research tool was Strategic Management Effectiveness Questionnaire in Sports Organizations based on the work of Faridfathi (1396) and Waezy's Organizational Accountability Questionnaire (2011). The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed by 10 faculty members in the field of sports and leisure management. Cronbach's alpha was used to determine reliability and the questionnaire was given to 25 people of the population. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the Strategic Management Effectiveness Questionnaire was 0/82 and for the organizational accountability questionnaire was 0/84. The results indicated that the effectiveness of strategic management in the Ministry of Sport and Youth is not in a good situation (p=0/05). Also, there was a significant relationship between the effectiveness of strategic management and organizational accountability (p= 0/05). It can be concluded that the Ministry of Sport and Youth needs to evaluate strategic management processes and strategies for the effectiveness of their strategies. Also, accountability system should be strengthened in line with the organizational goals and strategies.
