چکیده

در پژوهش حاضر برای اولین بار پیشامدها و پیامدهای چابکی بازاریابی در حوزه ورزش و تأثیر آن بر عملکرد سازمانی مورد بررسی قرار گرفت. جامعه آماری این پژوهش را 280 نفر نیروی فروش و بازاریابی شرکت مجید تشکیل دادند. برای تعیین تعداد اعضای نمونه از دو روش فرمول کوکران برای جامعه محدود و قاعده 10 برابری استفاده شد و 162 نفر به عنوان اعضای نمونه در نظر گرفته شدند. برای گردآوری داده‌ها با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی، پرسش‌نامه محقق‌ساخته با طیف پنج نقطه‌ای لیکرت در میان اعضای نمونه توزیع شد و 162 پرسش‌نامه دریافت شد. برای تجزیه و تحلیل داده‌ها از مدل‌سازی معادلات ساختاری استفاده شد و نتایج حاصل از آن نشان داد که هوشمندی بازاریابی، آموزش و توسعه و برنامه‌ریزی بازاریابی، پیشامدها و عوامل محرکی برای چابکی بازاریابی ورزشی هستند. همچنین چابکی بازاریابی ورزشی بر مزیت محصول جدید و قابلیت نوآوری تأثیر معنادار دارد و این دو متغیر از پیامدهای چابکی بازاریابی ورزشی هستند. عملکرد شرکت نیز پیامد دیگر چابکی بازاریابی ورزشی است که مزیت محصول جدید و قابلیت نوآوری نیز بر عملکرد تأثیر معنادار دارد و در نهایت تلاطم بازار رابطه بین چابکی بازاریابی ورزشی و عملکرد شرکت را تعدیل می‌کند. به طور کلی، طبق یافته-های پژوهش، چابکی بازاریابی ورزشی، یکی از روش‌های نوین بازاریابی است که شرکت‌های ورزشی موفق می‌توانند برای حفظ و بهبود جایگاه رقابتی خود بکارگیرند. در نهایت نیز پیشنهادهای کاربردی به مدیران شرکت‌های ورزشی و پژوهشگران آتی ارائه شد.
