The purpose of the present study was to compare job characteristics among Iranian soccer referees based on Job Characteristics Model (JCM) that it is one of the most common job design studies. 157 soccer referees in Premier League and A-league responded to seven-point Likert scale Jacko’s questionnaire (2004). To compare the core job characteristics of soccer referees, Repeated Measure, Bonferroni tests and Partial Least Squares (PLS) were used. Results show that characteristics of skill variety (0.79), specialization (0.77), feedback from job (0.62), information processing (0.61), autonomy (0.53), task significant (0.50), problem solving (0.27), had significant effects on core job characteristics among soccer referees, respectively. Characteristics of task significant, specialization, and skill variety had more effectiveness than characteristics of feedback, autonomy, and problem solving from referees’ view point (P≤ 0.05). Thus, based on factor loadings and priorities of job dimensions, problem solving can be eliminated, whereas specialization and information processing can be added to core job characteristics of soccer referees. Generally, soccer referees believe that soccer judgment is of importance, specialization, worthwhile, and high responsibility.

In addition, structural model for the interaction of these two environments was presented. The results showed the media pundits view, teachers and administrators in sports science center compared with executive managers is more convergence. These findings were consistent with the objectives set out in the regulations unit, an organizational chart in front of the interaction with the environment have not been designed and reported good compliance practices with organizational tasks posts were centers. The reported of the physical education department functions in relation to the collaboration with the department of sport shown to coaching classes, research project, seminars and conferences, workshops, educators and academics working in the two sectors internship - entrepreneurship and publishing as the most important areas of cooperation between the two environments have relatively high volume but probably not good their quality. Generally results indicate a lack of appropriate between academic circumstance and executive sections of country sport have many reasons structural and program. It seems with personalize of university and sport sections, codified legislation base on Cooperation between institutions, Joint research projects and seminars and training field for more cooperation between the two institutions will be provided.
