Media is the most influencing factor for attracting the spectators. In this regard, the purpose of this research was to introduce and evaluate functional factors of media in the form of a structural model in order to acquire the importance-performance of these factors in attracting the spectators. For this purpose statistical populations were spectators in the football stadiums of Khorasan Razavi, Azadegan league.From 400 distributed questionnaires, 219 questionnaires were completed and only117 usable questionnaires were analyzed. For the fitting of model, LISREL method was used and for the analysis of data the importance-performance analysis was employed. Model fitting was confirmed by the findings. Our results on the importance-performance analysis showed that factors such as TV news coverage and TV coverage of the games have high importance and performance values, while factors like TV interview with football players and coaches, despite its high importance in the view of the spectator, has no proper performance.

The purpose of this study was to identify the role of diversity management in the job burnout of faculty members of physical education of universities across the country. The present research is of correlation and performed in field method. The population for this study consisted of 400 individuals and groups of all members of the faculty members of physical education and sports science departments in the universities across the country. The volume of the sample size was 133 obtained through Cochran formula. In this study, a diversity management questionnaire (Villamil Astrid, 2007) and burnout questionnaire (Maslach & Jackson, 1981) have been used. For data analysis, in addition to descriptive statistics, also the correlation coefficient, multiple regression and single-sample T-test have been used. The results of correlation coefficient showed that there is a significant and reverse relationship between diversity management and job burnout of faculty members (r=-0.44, p<0.01), race dimension and burnout (r=-0.20, p<0.05), religion dimension and burnout (r=-0.46, p<0.01), scientific degree dimension and burnout (r=-0.43, p<0.01), age dimension and burnout (r=-0.41, p<0.01). there was no relation between between gender and burnout (r=-0.15, p=0.087). The results of step by step multiple regression also showed that aspects of the diversity management in religion, race and scientific degree aspects are able to predict burnout (F (3, 129)=34.740, p<0.01).Thus, we can conclude that the increase in diversity management and its dimensions except for gender, burnout decreases. And the management of 43% of the variation can be explained by changes in burnout (p=0.447). It is suggested that managers in terms of diversity management provide the way for reducing the job burnout of faculty members.
