Özet

Günümüz spor dünyasında spor yöneticilerinin en önemli görevlerinden biri spor tüketicilerinin beklentilerini karşılayarak tüketici tatmini oluşturmaktır. Yapılan çalışmalar tatminin çok boyutlu bir kavram olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu araştırma, spor merkezlerinde hizmet kalitesini ve tüketici tatminini etkileyen faktörleri belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Çalışma, Eskişehir ilinde yedi spor merkezine üye yüz dokuz N= 109 birey ile gerçekleştirilmiştir. Sonuçlar tüketici tatmininin çok boyutlu yapısını desteklemekte ve spor merkezlerinde atmosfer, uzman personel, temizlik, diğer personel ve ulaşılabilirlik olmak üzere beş faktörün tüketici tatminini etkilediğini göstermektedir.
