This article focuses on leadership and the role of managers in the field of non-profit sports organisations, knowing that this area of activity is still largely neglected by research. The main goal of this research was to find out what roles managers currently play in the management of non-profit organisations in the field of sports. The method of a quantitative questionnaire survey was applied and the respondents were 270 non-profit sports organisation managers. The research shows that the roles of managers of non-profit sports organisations have significantly affected interpersonal activities to fulfil the mission of these organisations more than to strengthen their economic performance. The overshadowing of some managerial roles creates an incentive to focus on the creation of educational offers aimed at strengthening leadership, management of subsidies from public sources, and the possibility of using marketing in the field of creating their own financial resources.
This study is focused on the issue of sport service validation in the fitness domain; it aims to propose a systematic procedure for evaluating the quality of services in the Czech fitness industry. Cross-cultural transfer and validation of the SERVQUAL method (Parasuraman, Zeithaml, Berry, 1988), which was originally validated for American customers, is discussed practically. The modified Czech version of the SERVQUAL questionnaire was the main tool of data collection in the market research of six fitness centers chosen randomly with a sum of 697 participants. Upon completion of data collection, the reliability of the model was repeatedly evaluated by means of SEM – Structural Equation Modelling. Based on the SEM results a hierarchical structured model was designed with a general factor and four factors corresponding to questionnaire subscales.

This research determines what effect if any the use of sports celebrities in companies' marketing communications has on the purchasing preferences of Generation Y. The survey is based on the original American version from authors Bush, Martin, Bush (2004). The questionnaire-based survey involves 416 respondents who study at Prague secondary schools and universities. Group discussions with four groups comprising a total of 41 respondents are also used. The results of the research show that the use of sports celebrities in marketing communication for generation Y does not have a proven effect on positive word of mouth or on switching and complaint behavior. This communication tool may have an indirect positive effect in the form of an increase in the brand/product awareness, attractiveness of a communication message and thereby increased options and tendency to try a product and a first purchase, even despite higher prices than the competition.

The research examines the influence of long-term sponsorship on congruence (perceived consensus) of personal characteristics between Škoda Auto and sponsored international sport events such as the Ice Hockey World Championship and Tour de France. To identify personalities of these three subjects' brands we used a standardised personality scale created by Geuens, Weijters and De Wulf in 2009, which was developed to measure brands of various product categories. To measure personality congruence we used the absolute differentiation method (Gwinner & Eaton, 1999). Data were collected via online questionnaires in January and February 2015. The research file formed a quote sample of 250 Prague respondents. Personal characteristics were evaluated via a seven-point Likert's scale expressing a degree of agreement or disagreement. The results show that the Škoda Auto brand is mostly characterized by the Responsibility dimension, whereas the brands of international sport events such as the Ice Hockey World Championship and Tour de France are mostly characterized by the Activity dimension. Respondents marked Aggresivity and Emotionality as undescriptive dimensions of Škoda Auto, and Simplicity and Emotionality as undescriptive dimensions of international sport events.

In the sport service environment, the level of customer satisfaction is monitored more and more thoroughly. The assumption is that a satisfied customer remains loyal for a longer period of time, buys more new products, talks favourably about the service provided, pays less attention to competing services, is less sensitive to price, and provides the company with new ideas for service improvement. Aim. The aim of this paper is to assess the level of customer satisfaction with golf resorts in the Liberec region. The survey evaluates the satisfaction of 78 customers at four golf courses in the Liberec region. Methods. Customer satisfaction was surveyed using a standardized questionnaire adjusted to Czech conditions and based on the SERQUAL model. This method identifies gaps between customer expectations and perceived quality of golf courses. It seeks to assess customer satisfaction with the golf course, the golf course amenities, the services offered, the golf course staff, the club staff, and the golf resort management. Results. Overall results showed that the customers were most satisfied with the services at Grabštejn Golf Course (total gap 0.02), while Malevil Golf Course and Ypsilon Golf Course had the same negative result (total gap −0.22) and the worst negative gap was at the Ještěd Golf Course (−1.24). The results show that there is room for managers to improve their services. In all cases the biggest gap appeared in the “Satisfaction with the course” dimension (except at Ypsilon GC), Ypsilon GC had the biggest problem in the “Satisfaction with staff” dimension (−0.72). Also the customers at the Malevil GC claim that they are dissatisfied with the golf resort management (−0.74). Conclusion. There is room for improvement at all golf courses that took part in this research. Customers are mostly dissatisfied and they evaluated the service provided as low quality in most of the dimensions. Generally the worst area is the golf course and staff. At the Ještěd GC, the results show that the management of the golf course is at a low level.

This article considers customer typology in fitness centres. The main aim of our survey is to state the basic segments of fitness customers and create their typology. A survey was conducted on a sample of 1004 respondents from 48 fitness centres. We used questionnaires and latent class analysis for the assessment and interpretation of data. The results of our research are as follows: we identified 6 segments of typical customers, of which three are male (we called them student, shark, mature) and three are female (manager, hunter, and student). Each segment is influenced primarily by the age of customers, from which we can develop further characteristics, such as education, income, marital status, etc. Male segments use the main workout area above all, whilst female segments use a much wider range of services offered, for example group exercises, personal training, and cardio theatres.

This article presents the results of a piece of research focusing on the competition between fitness and wellness clubs in the Prague region, which belong to worldwide chains. The research was realized on two levels; from the institutions' business managers' points of view, and from the institutions' customers' point of view. The research was conducted in 2011 through a deep interview and written questionnaire. The interview and questionnaire were used only for the purpose of this research. The deep interview with business managers was focused on the characteristics and marketing philosophy of the chosen institutions, their target groups and the assortment of offered services, offered membership, pricing policy, as well as the managers´ own view on their institution's competition. The written questionnaire for fitness and wellness club customers was focused on key criteria for choosing an institution. This included - the possibilities of using the offered services, customers´ sensitivity about prices, and membership evaluation that includes reasons for its termination. The results of this research specify the marketing philosophy of running companies with fitness and wellness services – rival institutions, the low-level loyalty of Prague customers, prior reasons for a visit and a weakened function of some marketing tools. The results were sorted according to Porter´s competitive forces analysis and present the competitive rivalry between fitness and wellness centres in Prague, customers' powers of negotiation, suppliers negotiation force, the threat of substitutes replacing fitness and wellness services and the threat of new rival institutions turning up.
