The Investigation of Factors Affecting Job Creation Rate in Private Sector in Sport Industry

Today's global conditions and many problems in governmental structures and administrative principles of the countries, especially economic recession, necessitate economic reformations and entrustment of more executive affairs to people in the form of private sectors. During the last two decades, privatization mechanisms have been designed and employed as a solution to rationalizing the social structure of societies, reducing the expenses of systems loaded on governmental budget, equipping financial resources, increasing experts and attempting to create job opportunities. The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting job creation rate of private sector in the sport industry. The research method was descriptive survey and the statistical population consisted of 1406 managers working in private gyms in Tehran in 1391. 256 managers were selected with cluster sampling method and Cochran formula as the sample. A researcher-made questionnaire was used in this study and its reliability was determined using Cronbach's alpha (α=0.85). Spearman correlation test was used to test the hypotheses. The results showed a direct linear relationship between the initial investment and job creation, that is, for more job creation in sport industry,especially by the private sector, more investment should be absorbed. There was a direct relationship between net income of private sector from investment in sport and job creation and private sector with more income creates more job opportunities. Also, there was a reverse statistical relation between financial limitations and job creation, that is, increasing financial limitations of private sector decreased job creation. There was a weak linear relationship between using banking facilities in sport and job creation. In other words, increasing or reducing the use of banking facilities in sport was associated with increasing or decreasing the rate of job creation.
