The study was qualitative research in which Thematic analysis was used to analyze data in three stages of open coding, the main and selective categories. The participants were selected based on Triangulation technique and included of experienced experts in network marketing, sports management experts who had related scientific works and researches. Participants were selected using purposive sampling method and thus the interviews started with 5 people and continued until reaching the theoretical saturation (N=25). The reliability of Crippen Dorf alpha (α) coefficient was 0.84, which indicates the desired reliability. Today, with the industrialization of sports, earning capital and generating income for sports organizations is accompanied by processes such as ticket sales, television broadcast rights, attracting financial sponsors and other similar cases, and taking advantage of marketing opportunities in sports creates the necessary platforms for interaction between Industry, trade and sports and have become a strategic bridge for the development of sports and its economic prosperity. The producers of sports products and services turn the competitive environment into an opportunity to gain the most profit by producing, creating and exchanging products and values with others and using the network marketing method, and in the production and sale of sports products and services, on the one hand, it creates employment and causes economic and social prosperity.<br />Network marketing, which is also known as multi-layer marketing or matrix, is a type of business in which consumers of a manufacturing company can be marketers of the products they consume and lead to employment in sports businesses, advertising sports products, healthy competition increases competitive sports brands and customer satisfaction from electronic sales. In the following research, after conducting the interviews and converting them into text, the data obtained from the interviews were examined and the main items were identified, and then the similar items were converted into concepts, and in the next step, the concepts aligned in the classes. A unit was placed and codes were assigned to them, and finally the codes became central and main categories. In the open coding phase, there were 104 primary codes (raw concepts), in the central coding phase, there were 26 categories, and in the coding phase, finally 12 themes were selected, identified and extracted.<br />In fact, network marketing in the country's sports industry is a young system that has faced many challenges and ups and downs since its emergence due to its similarity with pyramid networks, however, accepting this as an effective commercial tool is inevitable. and in Iran due to high liquidity among the people and the lack of safe and profitable investment, it has many fans and due to the sanctions, it is struggling with, the use of network marketing in the production of sports goods and services and providing international markets, in addition to the national currency, it helps to maintain or improve the income level of citizens in the long term. Therefore, network marketing has its own rules and you cannot succeed in it with the principles and solutions of traditional business. In this business, the intellectual frameworks must be corrected; because the main core in this profession is training with the aim of identifying and educating people who are at a high level in terms of knowledge, work and motivation, and its basis is compatibility with technology and innovation, perhaps this is why organizations with multi-level marketing are preferred. They use flat structures similar to organic organizations.<br />The findings of the research showed that the obstacles to the use of network marketing in sports in the country include five main categories of managerial obstacles (they are human resource management, product quality and managers' expertise), economic (increasing intermediation and unsuccessful marketing), legal (injustice and lack of legal permissions), psychological (psychological effects and damage of intellectual resources and opportunities) and cultural (lack of jurisprudential permission, social prejudice and media content). The solutions to use this network marketing require the removal of information barriers (education, information and media awareness), legal (removal of legal barriers and revision of laws), technology (use of technology) and social (removal of discrimination and fan organizations) and the result of the application of network marketing in Iranian sports is obtaining economic benefits (increasing liquidity, economic savings, improving the quality of services and empowering human resources), improving the quality of services (improving the production process and customer satisfaction) and empowering human resources (improving the ability of human resources and optimal utilization of facilities) in the sport of the country.هدف از انجام این پژوهش، شناسایی و بررسی موانع و راهکارهای بهکارگیری بازاریابی شبکهای در ورزش کشور بود. پژوهش حاضر از نظر هدف کاربردی، و از نظر استراتژی یک تحقیق کیفی بود که دادههای آن با استفاده از مصاحبه اسمی حاصل شد. از روش تحلیل تماتیک برای تحلیل دادههای تحقیق در طی سه مرحله کدگذاری باز، مقوله اصلی و انتخابی استفاده شد. شرکتکنندگان در مصاحبه تحقیق شامل کارشناسان و بازاریابان فعال در بازاریابی شبکهای ، فارغالتحصیلان دکتری و اعضای هیئتعلمی در رشته مدیریت ورزشی که دارای آثار علمی و تحقیقات مرتبط با بازاریابی شبکهای در ورزش بودند که انتخاب آنها بر اساس تکنیک مثلث سازی انجام شد. انتخاب این افراد با روش نمونهگیری هدفمند صورت گرفت و مصاحبه با آنها ابتدا با 5 نفر شروع شد و تا رسیدن به حد اشباع نظری ادامه یافت (25=N). پایایی ضریب آلفای(α) کریپندورف برابر 84/0 حاصل شد که نشانگر قابلیت اعتماد مطلوب است یافتههای تحقیق نشان داد که موانع بهکارگیری بازاریابی شبکهای در ورزش کشور شامل پنج مقوله اصلی موانع مدیریتی، اقتصادی، قانونی، روانشناختی و فرهنگی بود. راهکارهای استفاده از این بازاریابی مستلزم رفع موانع اطلاعاتی، قانونی، تکنولوژی و اجتماعی است و حاصل کاربرد بازاریابی شبکهای در ورزش ایران کسب مزایای اقتصادی، بهبود کیفیت خدمات و توانمندسازی منابع انسانی در ورزش کشور خواهد بود.https://gsmsmr.uok.ac.ir/article_62413_9c05d5703a78536928e807711067e9c3.pdfدانشگاه کردستانمطالعات بازاریابی ورزشی2783-05353320220923The Role of Social Media on Online Brand Community Identification And Loyalty of Mashhad Sports Club Customersنقش رسانههای اجتماعی در هویت اجتماعی آنلاین برند و وفاداری مشتریان باشگاههای ورزشی مشهد67386241410.22034/sms.2022.62414FAندا ضیائی قوچان عتیقدانشجوی کارشناسی ارشد، گروه مدیریت ورزشی، دانشکده علوم ورزشی، دانشگاه حکیم سبزواری، سبزوار، ایران.علی بنسبردیاستادیار، گروه مدیریت ورزشی، دانشکده علوم ورزشی، دانشگاه حکیم سبزواری، سبزوار، ایران.0000-0003-3144-5400پروین شوشی نسباستادیار، گروه مدیریت ورزشی، دانشکده علوم ورزشی، دانشگاه حکیم سبزواری، سبزوار، ایران.Journal Article20220402The advent of social media in the last decade has changed the speed and scope of communication and interaction between individuals and organizations around the world and has also affected the way we behave and communicate with others. Comparing to the offline environment, the online environment offers more opportunities for interactive and personal marketing. Nowadays, brands use social media extensively to attract customers and have expanded in social networks, Which is one of the used strategies to increase the fans and using their club customers for getting more customers. Linking brand communities to social media leads us to the concept of brand communities created on social media, which is a subset of the broader concept of "virtual communities" or online brand communities. Brand communities also provide brand information to members of the community and help the organization to build a strong brand; At the same time, brand communities help to share information, to continue brand history and culture, and help consumers to promote loyalty. Social media plays a key role in making relationships between existing and potential customers and promoting their loyalty. The issue of loyalty is important, because it can be said that the most important property of many companies are their loyal customers. Various factors and variables play a role in creating loyalty. The results of previous research have shown that to what extent social media has a role in attracting customers and raising their demands, and as a result, increasing level of loyalty. This can also be true for Iranian sports clubs, but it needs a scientific study. In this study, the components of opinion seeking (user characteristics) and entertainment value (content features) of club's social media, participation and customer interaction in the club's social media and online brand social identity with loyalty were examined. The brand literature and research background have not paid enough attention to the relationship between these components and customer loyalty and there is still no coherent framework for it. Given this content and the importance of promoting loyalty, the researcher in this study examined the role of social media on online brand community identification and loyalty of sports club customers. The research method is descriptive and correlation kind, which was performed in the field form and is in the category of applied research. The instrument used in this research was the Yoshida et al. (2018) questionnaire, which includes this sections: demographic questions and specialized questions, including opinion seeking (user features) with 3 items, entertainment value (content features) With 3 items, online brand social identification with 3 items, social media interaction with 7 items and customer loyalty with 3 items. The statistical population of the study included the customers of fitness and aerobics clubs in Mashhad, which had active social media such as Instagram, Telegram and the website, and presented special activities to attract and interaction their customers on these pages. G-Power software was used to determine the sample size. Based on the software output, the statistical sample size should be 197 people. The research questionnaire was designed online and posted on the clubs' social media, and finally 190 complete questionnaires were received, which was acceptable considering the 95% return rate. Structural equation modeling was used to analyze the data. Findings showed the Cronbach's alpha value and the combined reliability were higher than 0.7 and the factor loading of all items was greater than 0.4, indicating the reliability of the measurement model. The AVE value for all components was greater than 0.5, indicating the convergent validity of the measurement model. Fornell-Larker test also showed that divergent validity of the research model is appropriate that. In the structural model, T values were greater than 1.96, which indicates the significance of the path coefficients, and R2 also greater than 0.36, which confirms the quality of the structural model. Also, the value of GOF was 0.61, which indicates a strong fit of the model. Based on the test results of the research model there was a significant relationship between opinion seeking(user characteristics) of club's social media and participation in social media, there was a significant relationship between opinion seeking and Online brand community identification, there was a significant relationship between opinion seeking and customer loyalty. There was a significant relationship between entertainment value (content features) of club's social media and participation in social media, there was a significant relationship between entertainment value and Online brand community identification, there was a significant relationship between entertainment value and customer loyalty. There was a significant relationship between participation in social media and Online brand community identification. There was a significant relationship between participation in social media and customer loyalty. Finally there was a significant relationship between Online brand community identification and customer loyalty of fitness and aerobics clubs in Mashhad. Therefore, the ability to opinion seeking and entertainment value of club's social media is effective in customer online brand social identification and loyalty. Also as the level of interaction and participation among customers increases, long-term relationships will be formed between them, the online brand social identification will be strengthened, and ultimately the level of customer loyalty will increase. It is necessary for managers to be more careful in using these media and networks because it is a good platform to retain customers and attract new customers. In this regard, it is recommended to club managers: use the Instagram social network because it is used more by customers and on the other hand provides the conditions for communication and two-way interaction, and also attractive visual content can be sent through it. Produce and publish quality content related to the conditions of the club and prevent from providing unrelated content, which will reduce the attractiveness of the page. One of the best and fastest ways to increase customer engagement and participation in social networks is to hold a competition, so by creating various competitions and challenges with the presence of famous people, you can increase the number of visits and interactions in the social network and attractiveness of your page.در این تحقیق ارتباط متغیرهای نظرخواهی از مشتری در رسانه اجتماعی باشگاه (ویژگیهای کاربری)، ارزش سرگرمی رسانه اجتماعی باشگاه (ویژگیهای محتوایی)، مشارکت و تعامل مشتری در رسانه اجتماعی باشگاه و هویت اجتماعی برند آنلاین با وفاداری مشتریان باشگاههای بدنسازی و ایروبیک مشهد بررسی شد. روش تحقیق توصیفی و از نوع همبستگی بود که به شکل میدانی اجرا و در دسته تحقیقات کاربردی است. جامعه آماری تحقیق شامل مشتریان باشگاههای بدنسازی و ایروبیک شهر مشهد بود که دارای رسانه اجتماعی فعال اینستاگرام، تلگرام و سایت بودند. برای تعیین حجم نمونه از نرمافزار جی پاور استفاده شد و نهایتاً 190 پرسشنامه کامل بازگردانده شد. در جمعآوری دادهها از پرسشنامه یوشیدا و همکاران (2018) استفاده شد. تجزیه و تحلیل دادهها با مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری انجام شد. یافتهها نشان داد که بین نظرخواهی و ارزش سرگرمی رسانه اجتماعی باشگاه با مشارکت و تعامل در رسانههای اجتماعی، هویت اجتماعی برند آنلاین و وفاداری مشتریان ارتباط معنیداری وجود دارد. بین مشارکت و تعامل در رسانههای اجتماعی و هویت اجتماعی برند آنلاین با وفاداری مشتریان باشگاههای بدنسازی و ایروبیک مشهد ارتباط معنیداری وجود دارد و هر چه میزان تعامل و مشارکت در بین مشتریان افزایش یابد، به دنبال آن روابط بلندمدت در بین آنها شکل خواهد گرفت، هویت اجتماعی برند آنلاین تقویت شده و در نهایت میزان وفاداری مشتریان افزایش مییابد.https://gsmsmr.uok.ac.ir/article_62414_6946b734db158f1952dfb5a131fc0404.pdfدانشگاه کردستانمطالعات بازاریابی ورزشی2783-05353320220923Comparison of The Loyalty Model of New and Experienced Customers of Health Clubs In Isfahanمقایسه الگوی وفاداری مشتریان جدید و باسابقه باشگاههای تندرستی شهر اصفهان98686241510.22034/sms.2022.62415FAحسین علی محمدیاستادیار مدیریت ورزشی، دانشکده ادبیات و علوم انسانی، دانشگاه قم ، قم، ایران.حسین کردلودانشجوی دکتری مدیریت ورزشی، دانشکده علوم تربیتی و روانشناسی، دانشگاه محقق اردبیلی، اردبیل، ایران.0000-0003-2395-2031جواد ادبی فیروز جاهاستادیار مدیریت ورزشی، دانشکده ادبیات و علوم انسانی، دانشگاه قم ، قم، ایران.نرگس گرامیکارشناس ارشد مدیریت ورزشی، ادبیات و علوم انساانی، دانشگاه قم، قم، ایران.Journal Article20220405The increase in demand for sports and physical activity services and the increase in the number of companies providing these services has caused competition in this sector like in other sectors. In order to stay in the field of competition, attention to the quality of services has always been expanding, and the different characteristics of services make the evaluation of service quality and, of course, its quality improvement very complicated. This issue requires the use of a suitable tool to evaluate the quality of an intangible product. Consumers now have more information and knowledge about services than ever before, which organizations use as a competitive tool in the market. Several models have been used to evaluate service quality in sports events. One of the approaches is to use the SERVQUAL model. Considering that the quality of service is focused on customers and one of the environmental factors affecting organizations are the customers of those organizations, management experts have listed customer satisfaction as one of the most important duties and priorities of management of organizations and the necessity The constant and stable commitment of top managers to attract the opinion of customers has been considered as the main prerequisite for success. The higher the level of customer satisfaction, the more profit it will bring to the company. Customer satisfaction is a post-purchase evaluation in which the selected options at least give results (exceed), are equal to or exceed the customer's expectations, while if the results obtained do not meet the consumer's expectations or in other words Customer satisfaction is a personal behavior, dissatisfaction is created after comparing the performance (or results) that he feels compared to his expectations. In fact, customer satisfaction is the result of satisfying the customer's needs and it expresses a kind of subjective judgment about the product or service. Satisfaction is the most common predictor of loyalty and there is extensive literature that links the two variables in sports organizations. The model of creating loyalty through increasing the quality of services and gaining satisfaction is one of the most common models that has been discussed in studies related to customer loyalty and satisfaction in various researches. Loyalty comes from belief in the quality of services, psychological decision (behavioral intentions) and positive and favorable attitude, and it is the repetition of purchase behavior and stability in purchase behavior. Considering the fact that the satisfied customer will most likely continue to follow up and purchase more continuously, they will also deal with word of mouth advertising and increasing the volume of use of the facilities. For this reason, it is stated that success in the profession increases as a result of the presence of loyal customers, the reduction in time spent searching for new customers, and the enthusiasm and willingness of customers to pay a higher price due to the provision of high-quality services. In recent years, due to the relative promotion of the role and position of sports among people in the society, managing the quality of services and evaluating customer satisfaction and loyalty has become one of the main concerns of sports sector managers. Managers in this department want to know how they can more effectively measure the quality of services and evaluate customer satisfaction and loyalty in their organization, also managers of all clubs and sports centers are looking to increase the number of their loyal customers and customer evaluation can be a great help to them. Therefore, this research, while focusing on the customers of health sports services, by comparing the loyalty pattern and repurchase intention of the customers of recreational and sports complexes, based on service quality and satisfaction, seeks to determine whether the conceptual model for evaluating the loyalty of new and old customers of recreational and sports centers based on quality Can the service be explained? In this research, the target statistical population includes all customers who use the services of recreational and sports complexes in Isfahan city, and these customers were selected as available samples. Based on Morgan's table, the maximum sample size of 384 people was selected. In this study, new customers (156 people) have been in the clubs for 1 to 6 months, and customers who have been members of the club for more than 6 months are considered as long-term customers (228 people). In this research, the questions raised in the questionnaire were set based on a 5-point Likert scale (strongly agree, agree, have no opinion, disagree, strongly disagree). The questionnaire used has 72 questions, which consisted of 5 sections including personal information, service quality, satisfaction, customer loyalty and return decisions. In this research, standard questionnaires whose validity has been confirmed by sports management experts and professors (ten people) have been used. Cronbach's alpha coefficient for service quality was 0.89, satisfaction was 0.93, loyalty was 0.85 and return was 0.72. Descriptive statistics and inferential statistics including Kolmogorov Smirnov test to measure the normality of data distribution, Pearson correlation test to determine the relationship of variables and structural equations to determine the fit of the model were used to analyze the data. The findings showed that the correlation between the variables of the research is between 0.59 and 0.75, the highest correlation between the variable of loyalty and the variable of willingness to return is r=0.75, the correlation between the variable of service quality and the variable of customer satisfaction is r=0.66. =, on the other hand, the relationship between satisfaction variable and loyalty variable is r=0.63. It is necessary to remember that all the relationships between the variables are positive and direct. In general, according to the significance of factor loadings and desirable indicators of model fit, it can be said that the model of the communication path of the perceived quality of sports services, satisfaction, desire to return and loyalty of long-standing customers of Isfahan's recreational and sports complexes has a good fit based on the conceptual model. The fit of both models was confirmed and therefore it can be acknowledged that the conceptual model of this research with the modifications made in both groups of new and old customers has a good fit and no difference can be seen in this respect. Based on the findings of the modified model, it can be said; The path model has a good fit with the data in both groups of new and old customers. In general, according to the significance of factor loadings and desirable indicators of model fit, it can be said that the model of the communication path of the perceived quality of sports services, satisfaction, desire to return and loyalty of new and old customers of Isfahan's recreational and sports complexes is based on a conceptual model of It has a good fit. According to the modified model of the communication path, it can be said that service quality has a significant relationship directly with both satisfaction and loyalty. Satisfaction has a direct and significant relationship with loyalty and the desire to return, and loyalty has a direct and significant relationship with the desire to return all customers. Based on this, it is suggested that the managers of sports complexes try to maximize the quality of services in sports clubs and keep them at the desired level while paying full attention to the different dimensions of service quality.هدف پژوهش حاضر، بررسی الگوی وفاداری مشتریان جدید و باسابقه مجموعههای تفریحیورزشی شهر اصفهان میباشد. پژوهش حاضر کاربردی و روش انجام پژوهش علی – مقایسهای بود. جامعه آماری شامل مشتریان مجموعههای تفریحیورزشی شهر اصفهان بود. بر اساس جدول مورگان حداکثر حجم نمونه 384 نفر انتخاب شد. پرسشنامه مورد استفاده در این پژوهش دارای 5 بخش شامل اطلاعات فردی، پرسشنامه کیفیت خدمات، رضایتمندی،وفاداری مشتریان و بازگشت مجدد بود. در این پژوهش از روشهای آمار توصیفی شامل شاخصهای گرایش مرکزی و شاخصهای پراکندگی و از روشهای آمار استنباطی شامل همبستگی پیرسون، معادلات ساختاری در سطح آلفای 05/0 استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد ارتباط علی معناداری بین کیفیت ادراکشده خدمات با رضایتمندی و تمایل به بازگشت مجدد در هر دو گروه مشتریان جدید و باسابقه وجود دارد. همچنین وفاداری نقش مؤثرتری بر تمایل به بازگشت مشتریان جدید دارد. به نظر میرسد همه مشتریان اعم از جدید و باسابقه میبایست مدنظر صاحبان باشگاهها باشند و بهبود کیفیت خدمات و رضایتمندی از اهداف اصلی مدیران باشگاهها تلقی گردد. همچنین به دلیل تأثیرگذاری بیشتر میزان وفاداری بر خرید مجدد از باشگاهها در مشتریان جدید، توجه ویژهای در خصوص ایجاد رضایتمندی از طریق بهبود کیفیت خدمات به مشتریان جدید شود.https://gsmsmr.uok.ac.ir/article_62415_1dcade799f86d1c4952c5769ef8a345d.pdfدانشگاه کردستانمطالعات بازاریابی ورزشی2783-05353320220923Identifying and Ranking The Components of Sports Business Development In Golestan Provinceشناسایی و رتبهبندی مؤلفههای توسعه کسبوکارهای ورزشی استان گلستان128996241710.22034/sms.2022.62417FAمحمد علی نودهیاستادیار گروه تربیتبدنی، واحد گرگان، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، گرگان، ایران.مجتبی احمدیاستادیار گروه تربیتبدنی، واحد بندرگز، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، بندرگز، ایران.Journal Article20220101The purpose of this study was to identify and rank the components of sports business development in Golestan province.

Especially since 2018, when the Corona virus epidemic broke out, many businesses have been closed, and instead the growth of businesses and commercial activities in social media accelerated. Among the most popular social media among people in the world, especially Iranians, is Instagram. Although advertising and marketing have a special place on Instagram, one of the main reasons for promoting advertising on this social network is related to its audience, which has attracted the attention of marketers. Case studies and statistics from Instagram show that its audience includes a group of very active users who are willing to buy and interact with advertisers. In addition to social media, another component that makes advertising attractive and drives brand sales is sports. In an environment where trust in organizations and advertising has declined, advertising through sports is a way to gain a competitive advantage and serve as a communication tool to achieve marketing goals and support consumers. Therefore, creating a market and demand and maintaining and increasing market share are among the goals of advertising through sports.The combination of two influential components in the effectiveness of advertising, i.e. sports and social networks, has caused marketers to make significant investments in this regard, so that among the most visited Instagram pages, sports pages with different contents, including the personal pages of athletes, the page of sports clubs, the entertainment news regardin sports, scientific-sports pages, including fitness and nutrition, have been able to attract the attention of users.<br /> Naturally, advertising alone is not the reason for increased sales and good profits. Research should be done to find out how effective the ad was by taking into account the audience and visitors of the ad. Most researchers refer to attitude as an effective component of advertising effectiveness. In other words, attitude is a combination of beliefs and emotions that prepare a person in advance to view other people, objects, and events positively or negatively. Consumers' attitudes toward advertising can be the basis for believing and accepting advertising. Attitudes are influenced by several factors, the most important of which is gender. Gender is considered a key variable in marketing segmentation and plays an important role in moderating consumer judgments. In general, it can be said that women and men are biologically different, have different thinking patterns, and behave based on different goals. These differences may influence the outcome and evaluation process of Internet advertising. Thus, based on the research that has been conducted on the decision-making process of people, there are two mechanisms to explain the role of gender in evaluating the effectiveness of advertising: One is a direct role, e.g.: Gender has a direct and important influence on the decision outcome. Another is the moderator role, for example: gender influences the decision-making process or moderates the relationship between independent and dependent variables and the decision outcome. Therefore, in this study, gender was used as one of the main factors influencing the attitude toward advertising through sports in social networks.<br />Taylor, Lewin, and Strutton's (2011) model has been used to evaluate the effectiveness of social media advertising. It is one of the most important research models used in the field of evaluating the effectiveness of advertising in social media and is the main basis for subsequent models. In this model, there are eight independent components (entertainment, informativeness, self-brand congruence, peer influence, quality of life, time structure, invasiveness, and privacy concerns) and one dependent component (attitude toward social media advertising), as well as a moderating component, which is gender. The reason for using this model for the current study is to find out what is important to cyberspace users and what influences their attitudes toward advertising so that marketers and advertisers can use these components when designing and publishing their advertisements on social networks, leading to positive user attitudes toward advertising through sports on social networks.<br />The present study was conducted with the aim of analyzing the gender factor in the effectiveness of advertising through sports in social networks (case study: Instagram), the research being applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlative in terms of method. To collect the research data, the questionnaire on attitudes towards advertising in social networks by Taylor & et al. (2011) was used. This questionnaire, with a five-point Likert scale, assesses attitudes toward advertising on social networks and consists of two parts: The first part contains demographic questions and the second part is the main questionnaire, which includes nine components and 39 items. Celebi's (2015) questionnaire was designed based on the same model with slight modifications to adapt to Instagram advertising, so six items from this questionnaire were added to Taylor & et al.'s (2011) items for the attitude toward advertising component. The above-mentioned questionnaire was approved in terms of content and form by eight experts, including professors and experts in sports marketing and advertising management, after a three-stage translation process, and the proposed changes were adopted.<br /> The statistical population of the study is the users of Instagram sports pages. Therefore, the users of posterfootball, posterfutball, akhbare_perspolis, chejazab, science.base.fit and faculty.of.sport.sciences pages were selected as the available sample, which includes more than 100 thousand users in total. The questionnaire was designed using Google Docs and its link was placed in the story and bio of the mentioned sites. An advertising video of the LG brand was placed in the form of a post on the mentioned sports pages and users were asked to participate in this survey after watching the video. Finally, 260 questionnaires about the desired sports pages were collected and analyzed, the final results of which are listed in the research results section. In addition, smart PLS 3 software was used to analyze the data and verify the model based on the structural equation modeling method.<br />The results revealed that among independent factors, invasiveness and self-brand congruity were meaningful commonly between males and females. Also, informativeness among females, and entertainment and peer influence among males were meaningfully related to attitude. According to the results, if a brand wants to promote a product or service using sports on social networks, it is necessary to increase the effectiveness of advertising by considering the gender of the advertising audience and the factors influencing the formation of their attitude.پژوهش حاضر با هدف ارزیابی اثربخشی تبلیغات با استفاده از ورزش در شبکههای اجتماعی (مورد مطالعه: اینستاگرام) با تأکید بر نقش نگرش در اثربخشی تبلیغات و نقش جنسیت در تعدیل روابط بین متغیرها انجام گرفت. این پژوهش از نوع توصیفی- همبستگی است. جامعهی آماری پژوهش کاربران صفحات ورزشی اینستاگرام بودند که تعداد 260 پرسشنامه از طریق نمونهگیری در دسترس جمعآوری شد. ابزار گردآوری دادهها، پرسشنامهی نگرش نسبت به تبلیغات شبکههای اجتماعی بود. روش تحلیل عاملی تأییدی بهمنظور تعیین اعتبار سازۀ ابزار اندازهگیری و همچنین روش آلفای کرونباخ و ضریب پایایی ترکیبی بهمنظور پایایی پرسشنامه مورد استفاده قرار گرفت. تأیید مدل بر اساس روش مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری انجام شد. نتایج نشان داد که تهاجم و انطباق برند با خود بهطور مشترک بین زنان و مردان رابطهی معناداری با نگرش نسبت به تبلیغات شبکههای اجتماعی دارد. همچنین مؤلفههای اطلاعرسانی در میان زنان و سرگرمی و تأثیر همتایان در میان مردان رابطه معناداری با نگرش دارد. با توجه به نتایج به دست آمده، درصورتیکه یک برند بخواهد محصول یا خدمتی را با استفاده از ورزش در شبکههای اجتماعی تبلیغ کند، لازم است با در نظر گرفتن جنسیت مخاطبان و مؤلفههای تأثیرگذار روی شکلگیری نگرش آنها، اثربخشی تبلیغ را افزایش دهد.https://gsmsmr.uok.ac.ir/article_62419_d8e92a23e4aab709d1014fc45b30eb20.pdfدانشگاه کردستانمطالعات بازاریابی ورزشی2783-05353320220923The Moderator Role of Social Media in Relation between the Services Quality and Satisfaction with the Customer Behavioral Intention in Swimming Clubsتعیین نقش تعدیلگر رسانه اجتماعی در رابطه کیفیت خدمات و رضایتمندی با تمایل حضور مشتریان در باشگاههای شنا1861576241610.22034/sms.2022.62416FAعلی معطرکارشناسی ارشد مدیریت ورزشی، دانشگاه پیام نور، تهران، ایرانصدیقه اسلامیاستادیار گروه مدیریت ورزشی، دانشگاه پیام نور، تهران، ایرانحمید قاسمیدانشیار گروه مدیریت ورزشی، دانشگاه پیام نور، تهران، ایران0000-0001-5305-3331Journal Article20220423In recent years, with the intensification of competition in the field of sports, serious attention has been paid to sports marketing. Sports clubs serve customers with the aim of returning customers. Studies have shown that the desire to return a customer is related to their level of satisfaction. On the other hand, the level of custemers satisfaction is determined by the quality of the services provided. In fact, nowadays, quality is defined by the custemer’s demand, and the customer’s perceptions and expections are considered the main determinants of quality. The purpose of this study was to determine the moderating role of social media in relationship between service quality, customer satisfaction and customers' behavioral intention in swimming clubs.This research is applied, descriptive and correlational. The statistical population of this research was the customers of swimming clubs in Tehran. Sample size was determined by Cochran formula. Cluster and random sampling was performed to select 384 persons. The <strong>service quality questionaire (Liu, 2008)</strong>, (Liu investigated the validity and reliability of the questionnaire with exploratory factor analysis and Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Also, Mahmoudi et al. (2014) using the KMO index and Bartlett's test obtained the validity of the questionnaire at 0.872 and 0.001, respectively, and obtained the reliability of the questionnaire at 0.91 using Cronbach's alpha coefficient.), <strong>customer satisfaction questionaire (Chen, 2005)</strong>, (This questionnaire is standard and Chen considered it valid and reliable. Also, Fasnaqari et al. (2016) evaluated its reliability with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.87.), <strong>customers' behavioral intention questionaire (Parasuman, 1991)</strong>, (This questionnaire is standard and has been used in many researches and its validity and reliability have been confirmed. Kurdlo et al. (2015) reported the reliability of the questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.92.) And researcher-made <strong>social media role questionnaire</strong> were used for data collection. The validity of the questionnaires was confirmed again by the supervisor and a number of experts in the field of research. The reliability of the questionnaires was evaluated again by factor loadings, Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability, and mean extracted variance. In this research, the data obtained from the research questionnaire was used to evaluate the research measurement model, including the factor loading and t-statistic value for the questionnaire questions, Cronbach's alpha, composite reliability and mean variance extracted from SmartPLS software. Also, in order to evaluate the structural model of the research, including the causal and moderating relationships between the research variables, the structural equations method was used using SmartPLS software, as well as the correlation test with SPSS software. The results of Spearman correlation test showed that the quality of service has a significant direct relationship with customer satisfaction and customers' behavioral intention. Customer satisfaction also had a significant direct relationship with customers' behavioral intention. The results of the structural equation method showed that social media moderates the relationship between service quality and customer satisfaction. Social media also moderates the relationship between customer satisfaction and customers' behavioral intention. It seems that the quality of swimming club services, including health and welfare facilities, safety, responsible behavior of employees, as well as responsiveness, commitment and empathy of employees regarding swimming club services, improves customer satisfaction. On the other hand, the quality of swimming club services can affect customer loyalty.<br />The quality of service with all its dimensions, which includes facilities, appropriate services and appropriate behavior of employees, is effective on the loyalty of customers and their decision to attend again; For example, it is important for customers to see that swimming instructors act responsibly towards proper swimming training and that their training is accompanied by the empathy of customers. This case is especially effective in relation to customers' decisions regarding the desire to attend swimming lessons with their children.<br /> On the other hand, whenever customers are satisfied with the swimming club, its facilities, services, and the behavior of the staff, they have a better perception of the club and this issue is effective in deciding to attend again. In fact, customers should be sure that the equipment is sufficient to continue their presence in the club. This confidence is formed by comparing different clubs and also the mental prerequisites of people regarding the necessary equipment. It is also necessary for people to feel comfortable in the club; This feeling of comfort is related to the design of the structure and components of the club, the process of training and swimming in the club, the training process, the feeling of comfort with the staff and trainers, and these parameters are effective in the decision of customers to attend the club again. On the other hand, social networks have helped to understand what customers expect from services, and customers of organizations that use social networks have a better understanding of the services provided. There is a significant difference between the perceived value in the two positions of buyer and seller; Social media facilitates the communication and interaction between the buyer and the seller, and in this way, better understanding of the quality of service expected by the customers from the buyer's position and vice versa. As a result, the seller can provide his services with the quality expected by the customers and in this way increase the satisfaction of the customers. In fact, by helping the effective communication and interaction of the users and the seller, the social media helps to bring closer their perception of the quality and quantity of the service and as a result to improve the quality of the service and in this way it moderates the effect of the quality of the service on the satisfaction of the customers. Also, by improving the image of the club as one of the components of satisfaction, social networks can adjust the relationship between customer satisfaction and the desire of customers to attend swimming clubs. Tuse social media cause more, better and faster interaction between the club and customers. It is suggested that the clubs conduct surevys and receive users<sup>’ </sup>opinions related to the services, so that clubs can provide the services desired services to the customers.هدف از تحقیق حاضر تعیین نقش تعدیلگر رسانه اجتماعی در رابطه کیفیت خدمات و رضایتمندی با تمایل حضور مشتریان در باشگاههای شنا بود. تحقیق از نظر هدف کاربردی، از منظر اجرا توصیفی و همبستگی میباشد که به روش میدانی اجرا شد. جامعه آماری تحقیق، مشتریان باشگاههای شنا در شهر تهران بودند. حجم نمونه براساس جدول مورگان 384 نفر برای جامعه با تعداد نامشخص تعیین و نمونهگیری به روش تصادفی خوشهای انجام شد. از پرسشنامههای کیفیت خدمات، رضایتمندی مشتری، تمایل حضور مشتری و نقش رسانه اجتماعی محقق ساخته استفاده شد. روایی صوری پرسشنامهها توسط تعدادی متخصص مدیریت ورزشی تأیید شد. همچنین روایی محتوایی و پایایی پرسشنامهها توسط بار عاملی، آلفای کرونباخ، پایایی ترکیب و میانگین واریانس استخراجی ارزیابی شد. نتایج نشان داد کیفیت خدمات با رضایتمندی و تمایل حضور مشتری و همچنین رضایتمندی با تمایل حضور مشتری رابطه معنادار مستقیم داشت. نتایج مدلیابی معادلات ساختاری نیز نشان داد رسانه اجتماعی رابطه کیفیت خدمات با رضایتمندی مشتری همچنین رابطه رضایتمندی مشتری با تمایل حضور مشتری را تعدیل میکند. در واقع رسانه اجتماعی با کمک به ارتباط مؤثر و تعامل خریدار و فروشنده، به نزدیک شدن ادراک آنان از کیفیت خدمات و در نتیجه بهبود کیفیت خدمات کمک کرده و از این طریق موجب تعدیل اثر کیفیت خدمات در رضایتمندی مشتریان میشود. https://gsmsmr.uok.ac.ir/article_62416_1086ecf668f903d0f3e606aa58d6aa5d.pdfدانشگاه کردستانمطالعات بازاریابی ورزشی2783-05353320220923Explaining The Effect of Social Marketing on Motivating Sports Participation of The Elderly in East Azarbaijan Provinceتبیین اثر بازاریابی اجتماعی بر ایجاد انگیزه مشارکت ورزشی سالمندان استان آذربایجان شرقی2201876241810.22034/sms.2022.62418FAحامد بروشکدانشجوی دکتری مدیریت ورزشی، واحد کرج، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، کرج، ایرانسید نعمت خلیفهاستادیار گروه مدیریت ورزشی، واحد کرج، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، کرج، ایرانمهوش نوربخشاستاد گروه مدیریت ورزشی، واحد کرج، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، کرج، ایرانپریوش نوربخشاستاد گروه مدیریت ورزشی، واحد کرج، دانشگاه آزاد اسلامی، کرج، ایرانJournal Article20220731Individuals' motivation to initiate and adhere to physical and cognitive exercise and a deeper understanding of it allow prescribing a personalized exercise program that maximizes adherence and ultimately proficiency.
