Methods: The present study is descriptive-correlation. The statistical population of the present study was all employees of the Ministry of Sports and Youth, whose number was announced as 831 people. Among them, 268 conveniences were selected as a sample.

The validity of the instruments was assessed by face validity method, content validity index, content validity ratio, construct validity using confirmatory factor analysis, convergent and divergent validity. Also, the combined reliability and reliability of the internal consistency method were calculated and confirmed by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the instruments.
