Abstract

The participation of donors and financial sponsors plays a pivotal role in the development of sports infrastructure and facilities, thereby fostering the expansion of sports across the nation. Identifying the influential factors that attract and optimize the utilization of this civic capacity could provide policymakers and sports administrators with insights for improving these factors and creating an environment conducive to greater donor's engagement. A thorough examination of this subject presents an opportunity to better understand the motivations and driving forces. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the factors affecting the use of donors' capacity in the development of sports infrastructure in the country. This research was conducted in a qualitative way and thematic analysis method was used to analyze the data. The present study was practical and exploratory in nature. The statistical community in this research was made up of all sports specialists and managers and those who were active in the field of sports donors. Sampling was done in a purposeful and snowball manner, which reached theoretical saturation with 23 interviews. In order to collect information, a semi-structured interview was used, which was conducted as a direct communication and as a telephone call. To measure validity and reliability, acceptability, transferability, confirmability and retest were used. From the data analysis, 64 open codes were extracted, which were placed in 18 sub-themes. Finally, sub-themes were categorized into 7 main themes including individual factors, economic factors, political factors, cultural factors, social factors, legal factors and organizational factors. The current findings can be used as a guide for different organizations in the country to attract donors for cooperation in the field of sports.
