Identify the factors affecting the competence of sustainable moral leadership with a mental health approach

Extended Abstract 1.Introduction One of the most important goals that managers have always considered is to improve competency. Competence is so important that today there is a general effort to improve the competence of individuals (11). It is believed that improving the competence of individuals leads to improving the overall situation of societies (12). Competence is so important that various researches have been done in this field and several definitions have been reported for it. But from the sum of the results of domestic and foreign researches, we come to the general conclusion that leadership competencies are mostly discussed around four components, which are knowledge, attitude, skills and psychological characteristics of managers (13). According to Manninger, mental health means adapting to oneself and one's surroundings in such a way that one can achieve maximum effectiveness and happiness. However, today, the concept of mental health as a component of competence emphasizes the compatibility of the individual with the environment and aims to enable a person to establish and maintain internal balance with the environment and external conditions (13). Mental health prepares managers to perform their job duties. Conversely, people with poor mental health are more prone to illness and, as a result, more likely to stay out of work. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that mental health is essential for managerial and leadership tasks. Various factors play a role in ensuring mental health in the workplace. Some factors related to work environment conditions, organizational climate indicate mutual trust and cheerfulness, relationships between employees and the quality of life in the workplace and the organization in general (15). But the question is what are the factors affecting the mental health of the directors of sports federations as trustees of sports? 2.Methodology The present study was applied in terms of purpose and method according to the nature and objectives of the research and in terms of characteristics in how to collect information related to the subject, it was mixed (mixed method). For this purpose, in the first stage of the qualitative method of data-based theory (data foundation) in a systematic way - as one of the qualitative methods - to identify causal factors, contexts, interveners, strategies and consequences and finally model design Intellectual property in Iranian sports and in the second stage, a quantitative method was used to validate the proposed model of intellectual property in Iranian sports. In the present study, sampling continued until the level of adequacy and theoretical saturation until finally 30 men and 20 women with master's degree and higher were selected as the sample. Also, in order to conduct the interview, general research questions on the main topics including causal factors, contexts, interveners, strategies (practical strategies) and the consequences of the ethical competence of managers in Iranian sports were designed, which according to the interview process. And the selection of new items, the questions were asked in more detail and precision. The data analysis process, due to its importance in the underlying theory approach, was performed during three stages of coding: 1) open coding, 2) axial coding, and 3) selective coding. 3.Results The results showed that the competence of sustainable ethical leadership of sports federation managers consists of three components (skills, knowledge and mental health). Mental health with 4 sub-components (self-knowledge, effective communication with others, mastery of work environment and purposeful life) was in the first priority (Table 1). 4.Discussion The results of the present study showed that for the managers of sports federations, mental health is the most important factor in the competence of sustainable moral leadership. In the explanation of the present research, it can be said that having a quality and desirable life has always been a long-standing human desire. In this regard, a group of psychologists prefer to use the term psychological health instead of the term mental health, because they believe that the latter word evokes more positive dimensions (20). Sense of health has both emotional and cognitive components. People with a high sense of health mainly experience positive emotions and have a positive evaluation of the events and happenings around them, while people with a negative feeling evaluate and most of the negative emotions evaluate the low health of the events and life situation. Experience anxiety, depression, and anger (13). Research has also shown that such people have a high level of self-esteem and self-esteem. These people pay a lot of attention to ethics and behave rationally. Second, they feel happier and have more personal control in this area. Third, they are optimistic. And these people are more successful, healthier and happier than pessimists (21). Therefore, the findings of the present study seem logical.
