Abstract
The aim of the current research was to investigate the causal relationship between satisfaction with the quality of virtual learning and the academic performance of graduate physical education students in the northwestern provinces of the country during the Corona era through engagement as a mediator. This research was correlation type with structural equation modeling approach. The statistical population of graduate students of physical education in northwest universities of the country was formed (N=283) and the sample size was 163 selected according to Morgan's table by stratified sampling. Three Questionnaires were used to investigate the research variables. The validity of the research questionnaires was done first by using the opinion of experts to check the content validity. Then reliability was evaluated through Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Finally, the construct validity was evaluated based on model fit indices in PLS modeling software. Based on path analysis, it was found that satisfaction with the quality of virtual learning has a causal relationship with academic performance. The results showed that the variable of satisfaction with quality of virtual learning through the mediation of engagement has a significant relationship with perceived academic performance and mediation relationship was confirmed. It can be concluded that in order to be satisfied with the quality of virtual learning and also to increase the academic performance of graduate students of physical education, professors should use educational planning and new virtual methods for teaching,while the engagement of students in learning and being active in virtual classes will be facilitate and helpful.

Today, information technology (IT) as the axis of the formation of information societies has been considered by most countries in the world. Knowledge management and leadership role speed up the information exchange process. The purpose of study is to investigate the mediating role of information technology in relationship between leadership styles and employee knowledge management with a structural equation modeling approach. The research method is descriptive-correlational and it is done in field. The statistical population consisted of employees of the Departments of Sports and Youth of Northwestern Iran. In order to perform sampling, due to the existence of 3 provinces, the relative stratified random method was used. Based on number of items and variables, minimum sample size of 365 people was considered.Three questionnaires of leadership style of Bass and Olivo (2003), knowledge management of Filius et al. (2000) and IT of Nickpey et al. (2019) consisted research instruments. To evaluate content validity of the questionnaires, sports management professors and experts and to evaluate reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was used. SPSS 23 software was used to analyze descriptive statistics and correlation coefficients, and AMOS24 software was used to evaluate data fit and model evaluation, including convergent validity, diagnostic validity and composite reliability. SMART-PLS3 software was used to provide a model.Rresults showed that in relationship between leadership styles and knowledge management, IT acceptance acts as a role of mediator. Therefore, it is suggested that the information technology acceptance process of the employees be based on knowledge management and leadership styles.

The purpose of this research was to design a model to identify factors that affect the organizational electronic readiness of the sport and youth offices of East Azerbaijan province. The research method is qualitative type by using structural-interpretive modeling approach. By reviewing the research literature and interviews with 15 experts (theorical saturation), seven categories of factors influencing the measurement of e-readiness, including political, technological, and individual and human resources, environmental, e-readiness business, organizational, and managerial readiness were identified and its content validity approved by 10 academic experts and professionals. Factors based on interpretive structural modeling were placed at five levels, based on which the graph of structural-interpretive modeling was designed. The results showed that at the highest level (fifth level) the political factor, the fourth level the technological factor, at the third level the model, the individual factor and manpower, at the second level, environmental factors and e-business space and at the first level (lowest level) were managerial, and organizational factors. Based on the research findings, these factors are effective on the organizational E-electronic. By analyzing MICMAC, the variables were identified in terms of dependence power and driver power in four clusters: autonomous, dependent, linkage, and driver/independent. The results showed that factors such as political and technological have a higher power of influence, and the influence of political dimension on E- readiness is more than the influence of technological dimension. It is recommended that these factors be consider for electronic readiness.
