The statistical population consisted of all employees of the Ministry of Sports and Youth (N=850)، which 265 subjects were selected by random sampling method based on the Cochran formula. To collect data، Spreitzer and Mishra’ s (1995) psychological empowerment questionnaire، Luthan’ s (2007) psychological resources questionnaire، and Dunham’ s (1989) individual readiness for change questionnaire were used. To analyze the data and to identify the effects of research variables، the structural equation modeling was applied by using Lisrel software. The results of this research showed that psychological empowerment had a positive and significant effect on individual readiness for change (β =0. 41، t=7. 69). Psychological capital also had a positive and significant effect on individual readiness (β =0. 86، t=11. 01). The effect of psychological empowerment on psychological capital was positive and significant (β =0. 79، t=10. 22). Finally، the positive effect of psychological empowerment on individual readiness for change was confirmed by the mediating role of psychological capital (β =0. 68، t=8. 71). It can be concluded that the development of psychological empowerment and psychological capital can play an important role in the readiness of employees to accept changes. . .

This study aims at investigating the strengths and weaknesses of radio sport programs from the viewpoint of sport management specialists and radio programmers. The research method is descriptive-survey conducted by a questionnaire. The statistical population consisted of all experts in the field of sport management and radio programmers. 90 individuals were selected as the sample of the study using convenient (available) method. The research questionnaire consisted of three parts: demographic characteristics (7 items)، strengths (15 items) and weaknesses (22 items) that were employed after determining the validity and reliability.

The results of the research showed that the most important strengths were the speed of information transmission of radio networks، the number of proper sport experts on the networks، the proper interaction with academic experts and university professors، the quality level of reports and sport analyses. The results also highlighted the weaknesses in the existence of financial constraints for radio networks، the lack of the ability to broadcast some sports، the lack of independent revenues for the development of the sport groups of radio networks، and the lack of strategic marketing programs in sport fields. Radio directors and managers must identify the strengths and weaknesses and take advantage of opportunities and environmental threats to achieve high efficiency and effectiveness. . .

All of today's dynamic organizations have selected the Internet as one of the best means of communication with all the individuals and stakeholders. The purpose of this research was to evaluate and cluster the website of the 43 Iranian sports federations based on the Alexa website traffic indicators. The indexes included the number of pages viewed، the average browsing time of the site، the percentage of visitors inside the country، the percentage of visitors from outside the country، the number of links and loading rates. Using hierarchical clustering method، similar federations were grouped together in the form of homogeneous clusters، and eventually three clusters were created. The quality and validity of each of the clusters created by the diagnostic analysis method were confirmed and finally، the characteristics of each of these clusters were analyzed. The basis for cluster analysis was considered to be a comparison of the average of each indicator in each cluster with the average of the same indicator in all the clusters (total data). Since there was no significant difference between the average time of browsing the site and the average number of pages visited among different clusters، these indices were not considered in cluster analysis. The results of the study showed that Iran's sports federations have a poor and unexpected performance in the field of webometrics. . .
