How selection attributes affect golfers’ satisfaction: a meta-analysis

Abstract

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to summarize the results of existing studies that addressed the relationship between the selection attributes of golf businesses and golfers’ satisfaction in South Korea. Design/methodology/approach Studies on the relationship between selection attributes and satisfaction per golf facility type were retrieved from the Korean Citation Index. Using Comprehensive Meta-Analysis version 2, the effect sizes (ESs) for the following relationships were calculated: between selection attributes and satisfaction with golf facilities in general; between selection attributes and satisfaction per distinct golf facility types (outdoor golf courses vs screen golf facilities); and between the sub-factors of selection attributes and satisfaction per golf facility. Findings Medium ESs were found between selection attributes and satisfaction with golf facilities in general (0.394), outdoor golf courses (0.336) and screen golf facilities (0.370). The choice attribute factors of accessibility, employees and concession had large effects on golfers’ satisfaction with outdoor golf courses, while services and concession had large effects on golfers’ satisfaction with screen golf facilities. Originality/value Among many Asian countries, golf is extremely popular and attracts more business than other sports; however, changes in consumer viewpoints and business trends necessitate consistent refinement. This meta-analytic approach offered a macro perspective on how golf facility administrators might sustain and develop their businesses by highlighting what choice attributes matter most to golf consumers.

“…The systematic literature review has dominated the review papers published (Colquitt and Zapata-Phelan, 2007; Guo et al , 2009; Voorhees et al , 2016; Xie et al , 2017; Paul and Rosado-Serrano, 2019; Gupta et al , 2020; Paul and Feliciano-Cestero, 2021; Sharma et al , 2021). However, with the emergence of quantitative tools and software for analysis, there is a surge in quantitatively analysis-based review papers – meta-analysis and bibliometric analysis based (Kim and Cruz, 2019; Taras et al , 2019; Wang et al , 2019; Ismagilova et al , 2020; Pattnaik et al , 2020; Pinto et al , 2019; Shams et al , 2020; Feng et al , 2021; Grežo, 2021; Paydas Turan, 2021; Santini et al , 2021; Singh et al , 2021; Tomar et al , 2021).…”
