چکیده
هدف از انجام تحقیق حاضر بررسی رابطه بین کیفیت خدمت و قصد حضور مجدد تماشاگران باشگاه فوتبال سپاهان اصفهان و تأثیر متغیر همزادپنداری تیمی بر رابطه بین کیفیت خدمت و قصد حضور مجدد هواداران بود. بدین منظور تعداد 312 نفر از هواداران تیم فوتبال سپاهان که بهطور تصادفی انتخاب شده بودند و تمایل به شرکت در پژوهش را داشتند انتخاب و پرسشنامههای کیفیت خدمت، قصد حضور مجدد و همزادپنداری تیمی در اختیار آنان قرار گرفت. جهت تجزیه و تحلیل دادهها از آمار توصیفی و نیز رگرسیون چندگانه استفاده شد. نتایج نشان داد که بین کیفیت خدمت و قصد حضور مجدد هواداران باشگاه فوتبال سپاهان اصفهان رابطه مثبت و معناداری وجود دارد و این رابطه تحت تأثیر متغیر همزادپنداری تیمی قرار میگیرد. در بین هوادارانی که دارای همزادپنداری پایین یا متوسطی بودند، رابطه مثبتی بین کیفیت کلی خدمت و نیز ابعاد پاسخگویی و دسترسی (دو بعد از کیفیت خدمت) با قصد حضور مجدد به دست آمد اما در بین هوادارانی که دارای همزادپنداری بالایی بودند، هیچ رابطهای بین کیفیت خدمت و قصد حضور مجدد به دست نیامد. با توجه به یافتههای پژوهش، لازم است مدیران باشگاههای حرفهای برای افزایش حضور هواداران در ورزشگاه، ابتدا هواداران را بر مبنای میزان همزادپنداری آنها تقسیمبندی کنند و در ارتباط با هواداران دارای همزادپنداری پایین و متوسط، در جهت بهبود کیفیت خدمت مورد انتظار این دسته از هواداران تلاش کنند.

چکیده [English]
Purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between service quality and revisit intentions among fans of Sepahan club and also the effect of team identification on this issue. In this line, a total number of 312 fans responded to questionnaires including service quality, revisit (repurchase) intention and team identification. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as multiple regression analyses. Findings showed that team identification moderates the relationship between service quality and revisit intention. Both overall service quality and two specific service-quality dimensions (responsiveness and access) are found to be positively associated with repurchase intentions only among respondents with low and medium team identification. No relationship is found between service quality and repurchase intentions among those with high team identification. Managers of professional sports events who wish to increase attendances by improvements in service quality should first segment their customers according to degree of team identification. They should then design their service offerings specifically to meet the service quality expectations of sports fans with medium or low team identification.
