Cost-Benefit Analysis in Sports Organizations

Abstract

The Provincial Organising Committee, set up to organise local sports events, submits the annual programme of activities to the Provincial Directorate and the Sports Federation at the beginning of the season, has the programme approved and carries out the activities. As part of this process, it carries out the necessary procedures to appoint the competent organisation. In this study, the cost-benefit analysis of the organising officers appointed by the provincial organising committee was carried out. The research used the document analysis method. According to the results of the research, competitions were organised as school sports (athletes=186), sports clubs (athletes=112) and private competitions (athletes=523). The costs of the competitions were calculated and a total of 97006.98 TL was spent on organising officials (19995.36 TL), referees (39333.57 TL) and other expenses (23280 TL). Although cost-benefit analysis is not used in the dissemination and massification of sport, it is necessary to evaluate the results of the organisations that were the subject of the study. According to the results obtained through the evaluation of the collected data, both the organisations are carried out by incurring more costs than necessary, and the athletes who are ranked with the results of the organisations do not have a significant success. The results of the study will be communicated to the relevant stakeholders with a recommendation for reorganisation planning.
