The aim of this study is designing the pattern to Identify and determine the factors of incidence of corruption in Iran football. This research is descriptive and used qualitative and quantitative methods in the mixed manner. At first, by library research we review the related literature and documents and design an initial questionnaire with 46 questions by a semi-structured interview with geniuses. By this questionnaire we try to investigate 3 levels, macro levels with 5 variables, meso level with 4 variables and micro level by 4 variables. The statistical population is football beneficiaries we collected data from 109 questionnaire and analyzed with using SPSS19 and SmartPLS2 software. The findings show that managerial-administrative variables and training-educational variables have the most effectiveness at all of dimensions. In addition, from the perspective of the players, coaches, technical and management staff, referees, the media and football academy members the highest rank in forms of corruption is making money illegally. Considering good fitness of the conceptual model of corruption, the effect of macro variables on corruption is most and it is reported that micro and meso variables have less effect on this subject. Due to the high impact of the coefficients of macro factors in research, it can be said that this dimension plays an effective role in leading to corruption or vise versa in preventing it.

An efficient structure is the most important factor for reaching goals in all systems including sport system. The purpose of this research was to design a pathological model for sport in Iran. It was an applied research and was performed based on qualitative research method. Grounded theory (GT) technique was used for developing the pathological model. Population consisted of experts in this area (professors, faculty and officials) that 32 of them were selected using theoretical sampling. Data are collected through in-depth semi-structured interviews. The findings of the coding show that research core category, “ lack of integrity” is the product of bureaucratic structure, task ambiguity, overlapping functions and distribution of tasks as causal conditions. Micro environment include the weakness of government establishment, the weakness of human recourse and weakness processes. The macro environment include economic, political, social, legal and international environment. Strategies include: provision laws, collaboration of institutions and Structural changes.
