Özet

Bu çalışma, güncel bir pazarlama alanı olan spor pazarlamasının “seyirci davranışları” konusuna yeni bir yaklaşım getirmektedir. Futbol maçlarını izleme kararı çalışmada; stadyumda, evde, bir toplulukla veya izlememe olarak kategorize edilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacı, futbol maçları özelinde bireylerin eğlence değeri algılarını ve karakter özelliklerini keşfetmek ve farklı kategorilerdeki bu kişilerin kararlarını izleyen diğer kilit unsurları bulmaktır. Bu amaçla, 20 kişi (her grup için 5 kişi) ile derinlemesine görüşmeler yapılmış olup bu görüşmelerden elde edilen veriler NVivo 11 aracılığıyla analiz edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre futbol için eğlence değeri; stadyumda izlemekte olan seyirciler için yüksek, hem evde hem de toplulukta izleyen seyirciler için ortalama ve izlemeyenler için düşüktür. Eğlence değerinin yanı sıra; farklı kategorilerdeki bireylerin karakter özellikleri ayrıştırılmış, ek önemli faktörler sunulmuş ve tüm bu faktörler; ekonomik, sosyal, kültürel, kişisel, motivasyonel ve çevresel faktörler olarak kategorize edilmiştir.
