The aim of this study is to identify the key factors contributing to the excellence of the National Table Tennis Federation at an international level and to provide practical implementation solutions. The research design employed a mixed-methods approach (qualitative and quantitative) utilizing a mixed-exploratory strategy. The qualitative phase involved the participation of 15 sports management professionals, professors, knowledgeable managers, and experts, while the quantitative phase involved 12 participants from the previous phase, selected using purposeful and criteria-based sampling methods. The qualitative data were analyzed using the thematic analysis method, while the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) was used to analyze the quantitative data. The study identified five main concepts that influence the excellence of the federation, namely relations and organizational support, human resource factors, contextual factors, organizational factors, and sports factors. In addition, the study identified three main strategies that were effective in promoting excellence: organizational strategies, structural strategies, and sports-technical strategies. Based on the findings, the key factors contributing to the success of the National Table Tennis Federation were identified as sports factors, organizational relations and support, organizational structure, human resource factors, and contextual factors. To achieve excellence at the international level, it is recommended that the table tennis federation implement organizational, structural, and technical strategies in a continuous and integrated manner.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of knowledge-based culture (KBC) with the knowledge management (KM) approach in advancing the functions of third-generation university, a case study of sports science faculties. The population includes the faculty members of the (public) colleges of sports science throughout the country. The sample was selected by the total sampling method and 268 questionnaires were returned. A researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 24 questions was used for data collection that its reliability was confirmed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient (0/92) and the combined reliability and validity were confirmed using convergent validity (confirmation of factor load and AVE value) and diagnostic validity. Descriptive statistics and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze data by the 23rd version of SPSS and to provide the model, equation modeling technique was used by LISREL8.5 software. The results showed that the impact of KBC on KM is positive and significant and leads to the advancement of educational, research and entrepreneurial functions of sport science faculties. Also, the impact of KM on the advancement of third-generation university functions in sport science faculties is positive and significant. In addition, the mediating role of KM in the relationship between KBC and third-generation university functions in sport science faculties was confirmed.
