Abstract:
The subject of this study was to examine the private sport clubs in Tehran. It examined the occupational features, relationship between average received tuition and number of the employees and clients and finally relationship between initial investment, club net income and the number of the employees. All the sport clubs of private sector (n=36) were examined (all numbering method). The researcher-made questionnaires were used to collect the information. Data was analyzed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that, in total, 83 different occupations have been created in several sports. Furthermore, amount of tuition did not relate to the number of clients (r=0.353, p=0.052) and the number of the employees (r=0.543, p=0.156). The number of the employees significantly related to clients (r=0.543, p=0.002). The number of the employees positively related to initial club investment but not significantly (r=0.081, p=0.666). Finally, the number of the employees scarcely negatively related to club net income (r=-0.027, p=0.884).
