Recently, the relationship between leader-member exchange and job performance has become more interesting subject among researchers. However, the literature has a paucity of empirical studies conducted in the higher education institutions; therefore, the relationship between these two variables is not clear. Hence, the purpose of this study was to examine the effect of leader-member exchange on the job performance of academic staff in higher educational institutions. The data for the study were collected from the academic staff (n=174) of five faculties of sport sciences in Turkey. The LMX-7 scale developed by Scandura and Graen (1984) was used to determine the quality of the interactions between leaders (i.e., administrators) and members (i.e., academic staff). Sigler and Pearson’s (2000) job performance scale, which is a modified version of Kirkman and Rosen’s (1999) team productivity scale, was used to measure job performance. The findings exposed a statistically significant positive effect of leader-member exchange on job performance (p<0.05).
The purpose of this study was to examine exercise addiction and social appearance anxiety levels of students studying at the faculty of sports sciences in terms of various variables. There were 170 participants in the study. “Personal Information Form”, “Exercise Addiction Scale” and “Social Appearance Anxiety Scale” were applied to the participants. Whether the data provided the assumption of normality was evaluated by the skewness and kurtosis test. It was decided that the values obtained as a result of the analysis provided the assumption of normality; therefore it was deemed appropriate to apply parametric tests. Frequency, percentage, t-test, One-Way ANOVA and Post Hoc (Scheffe) test statistics were used to analyze the data. As a result, it was determined that participants who regularly received sports services at least 2 days a week had low levels of general exercise addiction and social appearance anxiety. In this context, it can be said that individuals' exercise addiction and social appearance anxiety levels were low. Therefore, it can be said that the physical and mental benefits individuals got from sports activities enabled them to be more at peace with themselves, as the participants who received sports services made their exercise a habit to protect their health in daily life.
Bu çalışmada fiziksel etkinlik hizmetleri sunan fitness merkezlerinde hizmet kalitesinin müşteri memnuniyetine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Veri toplama aracı olarak, hizmet kalitesine yönelik Yıldız ve Kara'nın (2012) geliştirdiği QSport-14 ölçeği, müşteri memnuniyetine yönelik ise Cronin, Brady ve Hult'un (2000) geliştirdiği memnuniyet ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Veriler Antalya ilinde ticari olarak faaliyet gösteren 3 farklı fitness merkezinin müşterilerinden (n=227) elde edilmiştir. Ölçeklerin güvenirliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılan güvenirlik testi sonucunda QSport-14 ölçeğinin Cronbach Alpha değeri 0,849, müşteri memnuniyeti ölçeğinin Cronbach Alpha değeri ise 0,743 olarak bulunmuştur. Hizmet kalitesinin müşteri memnuniyeti üzerine etkisini belirleyebilmek için hiyerarşik regresyon analizi uygulanmıştır. QSport-14 ölçeğinin alt boyutları olan "personel", "fiziksel özellikler" ve "program" değişkenlerinin müşteri memnuniyeti üzerine etkisi ayrı ayrı değerlendirilmiştir. Analizler sonucunda, fitness merkezlerindeki hizmet kalitesinin (ve alt boyutları olan personel, fiziksel özellikler ve program değişkenlerinin) müşteri memnuniyeti üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif etkisi bulunmuştur (p<0,001). Bu alt boyutlardan, müşteri memnuniyeti üzerine en yüksek etki personel (β=,492) alt boyutudur, ardından program (β=,444) ve fiziksel özellikler (β=,432) gelmektedir. Diğer taraftan demografik değişkenlerin müşteri memnuniyeti üzerine herhangi bir anlamlı etkisi ise görülmemiştir. Bu sonuçlara göre, fiziksel egzersiz hizmeti sunan fitness merkezlerinde müşteri memnuniyeti sağlayabilmenin yolu (başta personel olmak üzere, program ve fiziksel özellikler yönüyle) hizmet kalitesini arttırmaktan geçtiği söylenebilir.
