Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyze the collected data. To provide descriptive data, statistical frequency, frequency and frequency tables were used and for analyzing the data in the inferential statistics section, verification factors, exploratory factor analysis, single sample T, Friedman test and analysis Structural equations were used with SPSS and Amos version 23 software. The results showed that there is a significant priority between all the factors of attractor, inhibitor and inhibitor.

Purpose of this study is fit comparison between Iran men national volleyball team and its sponsors from participants’ point of views. This study is survey-based and has been used random sampling for gathering data. We used Zdravkovic and collegues’ questionnaires for gathering required data. For measuring fit, they used from nine micro dimensions and two macro dimensions. For comparison of these dimensions, we used MANOVA and Scheffe post-hoc tests by using STATISTICA software. Measurement and SEM tests were analysed by M Plus software. Results: Results of MANOVA tests showed that there are significant difference between micro and macro dimensions fit-except geography-between three sponsors, but post-hoc tests showed that there are not significant difference between different dimensions of fit between Day bank and Hamrah Aval and there are significant difference between all fit dimensions of Merooj and Day bank – except involvement-and also between Merooj and Hamrah Aval – except mission-. Measurement and SEM tests showed good results (fit) for three sponsors. Discussion: According to obtained results from this study, for improving this win-win relationship, it is better that sponsors and teams focus on a fit relationship and if it does not seem fit from participants’ point of view, they should do some promotional activity for clarifying this relationship.

Validity of the questionnaires were confirmed by experts and the reliability were studied in a pilot study with 30 subjects and calculated 0. 88, 0. 82 and 0. 87 respectively. Analysis of the data done using Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation modeling by SPSS 22 and AMOS software. The dimensions of organizational pessimism and the overall level of organizational pessimism had a negative relation with organizational health dimensions as well as general level of organizational health. There is a negative and significant relationship between the dimensions of political behaviors and the overall level of political behavior and overall level of organizational health. The conceptual model of organizational pessimism, political behaviors, and organizational health is a suitable model, because based on the findings of this study, organizational pessimism and political behaviors have a direct and negative effect on employees' organizational health of staff of Sports and Youth department.

Data were analyzed using SPSS22 and LISREL8/7 software. Inferential statistics such as Kolmogorov-Smirnov test were used to determine the nature of the data, and pearson correlation parametric method and path analysis model were used to determine the relationships. The results showed that the Person-Job fitness on the innovative work behaviour with the coefficient of influence 0/55 has a positive effect. The fit of the person-organization fit has a positive effect on the innovative work behaviour with the coefficient of influence 0/49. It can also be argued that person-organization fit approach plays a mediating role with a coefficient of effect 0/31 for the effect of Person-Job fit on innovative work behaviour. As a result, managers of the Ministry of Sports and Youth need to emphasize both person-work and person-organization fit to enhance their innovative work behaviour.
