Abstract

This study aims to use IPA (Importance-Performance Analysis) to derive items to be improved regarding issues on expenditure by parents of high school baseball athletes. The parents of high school baseball athletes had been selected as a population through a stratified cluster sampling method. Total 210 respondents – 30 participants in each metropolitan city of seven provinces (Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon, Chungcheong, Jeolla, Jeju and Gyeongsang) filled out the survey. Excluding 12 copies of questionnaire responded insincerely, the rest 198 copies were examined for the final analysis. The findings of analyzing importance-performance using IPA on expenditure by parents of high school baseball athletes are as follows. First, the importance on expenditure by the parents are official expenditure, private education expenditure and unofficial expenditure in descending order whereas the performance demonstrated private education expenditure, unofficial expenditure and official expenditure in descending order. Second, it is found that there are variations between importance and performance on expenditure by the parents. In other words, all the specific elements in official expenditure, unofficial expenditure and private education expenditure showed differences between importance and performance. Third, all the three specific elements distributed in the first quadrant were “expenses on health supplement food,” “private tuition fees” and “expenses on private sporting goods.” The nine specific elements in the second quadrant were “wages of coach/assistant coach,” “expenses on playing in a match,” “expenses on off-season training,” “expenses on team supplies,” “food expenses” “transportation expenses (bus/vehicle maintenance cost),” “expenses on snack/get-together for players,” “scout/college tuition fees” and “rehabilitation/medical expenses.” The three specific elements in the third quadrant were “expenses on banquet (traditional holidays) and gifts,” “expenses on couch’s outside activities (official expenditure),” “performance-based benefits (incentives).” Furthermore, one element “contribution to judge” in the fourth quadrant was under unofficial expenditure.
