Developing a Model of the Factors Affecting the Expansion of Endowments and the Entry of Donors into Sports Based on Developing Justice in Sports and Promoting Community Health

One of the most important issues to be considered is the role of endowments and charity affairs in meeting the cultural, sports, social and economic needs of the society. To what extent that endowment can be useful in solving the problems and flourishing of the country's sports, requires deeper examination of issues by experts particularly the experts in the field of sports.The purpose of this study was to present a model of the factors affecting the expansion of endowment in the field of sports.

The research is applied in terms of purpose and quantitative in terms of method. The statistical population included experts in this field and the Health Donors Association and the School-Building Donors Association, who were directly familiar with the challenges and ways of introducing donors into sports. The sampling method included non-probability sampling, with purposeful selection and with maximum 20 varieties or incongruity. Based on this, 360 participants were selected as the sample population. The research instrument included a questionnaire extracted from the previous studies and review of theoretical foundations, the validity of which was proved by 7 experts and its reliability was found based on Cronbach's alpha test to be at the desired level. In this study, all ethical considerations were observed and no conflict of interest was reported by the authors.

Based on the results of confirmatory factor analysis, the factor loads of the constituent factors were higher than 0.4 and were approved. Also, the evaluation indicators of the totality of the structural equation model according to the desired range of these indicators, in general, indicate that the hypothetical model developed by the research data is supported. In other words, the fit of the data to the model is established and all indicators except for the Chi-square ratio to the degree of freedom, are indicative of the desirability of the measurement model of the donor entry model in sports.

The arrival of donors can be a good investment to build provincial sports facilities in all parts of the country so that all members of the society can use these places equally. With the aim of developing its various dimensions, this requires links with other institutions such as those in economy, health, education system at the level of governance and policy-making, to apply practical and appropriate models by learning about the sports policies.
