Abstract
In this paper, we discuss the relationship between players'wages and club performance in Japanese professional sports clubs. In foreign countries, as one of the important themes of sports industrial study, many researchers have examined the relationship between players' wages and club performance. Nevertheless, in Japan the study of players'wages and club performance has not been done. This paper examines by single regression analysis the relationship between wages and performance in the J.LEAGUE club, making use of the data from 1997 to 2006. As a result, R-square was found to be 0.558 in the long term. It became clear that player wages were the primary factor to explain club performance in the J.LEAGUE. In addition, even in the short term, R-square was 0.304. It became clear that player wages explained 30% of club performance. Clarifying whether player wages are related to record should be of significance to the success of professional sports business in Japan.
