Stratified random sampling method was used. In the qualitative section, an open, axial and selective coding method was used based on the Strauss and Corbin Paradigm model, and in the quantity sections of the structural equation method (Smart-PLS software). The research findings were investigated in each of the five dimensions of the underlying conditions, causal conditions, interventional conditions, strategy and outcomes. The results showed that the strategies resulting from the model that were influenced by contextual and confounding conditions included: designing a mechanism for reforming e-government factors in the Ministry of Sport; Change management. Therefore, it is recommended to use the results of this study to improve the performance of the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
