Future Intentions of Fitness Center Customers: Effect of Emotions, Perceived Well-Being and Management Variables

Abstract

Future Intentions in Fitness Center into account aspects that seem unimportant when observing linear models (such as emotions or age). However, both methodologies should be considered complementary and used simultaneously since, by focusing on different aspects, enriched results are obtained. The results obtained will enable managers to make more efficient use of available resources to increase user satisfaction.

Models of Sports Management in Fitness Centres. Influence of Sex, Age and Sport Frequency. Linear Models vs. Qualitative Comparative Analysis

“…Sports centres, as a sports service, have become well established in recent management literature [3,18]. This work tries to discover what future behaviour users will have after using the services of a fitness centre.…”

“…Understanding users' perceptions of sport services has recently become the main focus of sport management literature [1][2][3]. Through their experiences with these services, users obtain perceptions that allow them to give values that later become behaviours towards the service.…”

“…Within the sport management literature, the models that analyse these services have almost always analysed the relationships that exist between the variables, but in a separate way, linearly [12,26], where the influence of a single variable on another variable is known. On the other hand, there are also works [3] that have analysed the influence of a set of variables on another variable, fsQCA, thus obtaining more detailed information on the prediction of a variable.…”

“…The measurement instrument was passed at the entrance of the sports facility itself, organised at different times to be able to collect the perceptions of users with different profiles and also the different sociodemographic variables. As in other studies in the literature with similar characteristics [3], a nonprobabilistic convenience sample was used. Users entering or leaving the facility itself were asked to participate in the survey in order to ask them about their perception of the facility, as the centre had a large number of registered users.…”

What Academic Factors Influence Satisfaction With Clinical Practice in Nursing Students? Regressions vs. fsQCA

“…The quality of an educational system, a university degree or nursing practices can be measured using many different variables, since many factors affect it, but the satisfaction that this system, this degree or these practices generate among users has long been one of the variables to be taken into account, thus becoming a key element in teaching quality (Löfmark et al, 2012). In addition, in order to provide a quality service, it is necessary to resolve all the aspects related to the functioning of the organization, taking into account that the differences between service expectations and perceptions can be added to others, such as discrepancies in the organization's functioning (García-Pascual et al, 2020).…”
