Abstract
The purpose of this current research was to develop a model of factors affecting the improvement of the quality of Iranian football refereeing. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in nature. The statistical population of this research is all referees who participated in the pre-season of the Premier League in 2016 (105 people), CEOs of Premier League clubs (16 people), coaches and assistant coaches of Premier League football teams (32 people) and spectators of the league. They were the 17th. Using targeted and available sampling, 683 people were selected as the research sample. The face validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by experts (10 people). Also, its reliability was calculated using Cronbach's alpha test and composite reliability. Structural equation modeling and PLS software were used to analyze the data and check the fit of the model. The results showed that the dimensions of the quality of human resources, financial, material and managerial resources significantly explained the quality of refereeing in Iranian football. Also, the results showed that managerial, technological, human, material and financial resources had the highest priority in the quality of refereeing in Iranian football. According to the results of the research, it can be said that management has a more intervention and persuasive role than other factors. The reason for this problem can be the conscious effect of management. Usually, the effects of arbitration processes are hidden and indirect, but the effects of management are more conscious.
