Measuring economic efficiency of the GYM centers in adana

In this study, efficiency performances of gmy centers were measured by taking into account income and expenditure variables. The data of the study were obtained through face-to-face interviews with 44 gym centers in Adana. Data envelopment analysis was used in the efficiency measurement and the data were analyzed with the DEAP 2.1 package program. As a result of the Data Envelopment Analysis, 48% ((21/44) * 100)) of the gmy centers operating under efficiency (VRS), 27% ((12/44) * 100) is operating under increased return to scale (IRS) and 25% ((11/44) * 100) is operating under decreasing return to scale (DRS) conditions. The technical efficiency (VRS) average of the gym centers is 0.872 and 59% of the gyms centers are operating efficiently. It has been revealed that if the input amount of the gyms centers is reduced by 12.8% (1-0.872), the profit levels of these centers will not be affected. It has emerged as a result that if the companies with increasing income (IRS) can reduce their rent, electricity, water, maintenance and repair, salary, tax and insurance expenses, this business will become efficient. Considering the total input surplus of enterprises using excess input, enterprises are 4.21% in rent, 8.78% in electricity, 6.15% in water spent, 6.11% in maintenance and repair, 8.33% in salary, 3.89% in tax and 10.79% in insurance. It was determined that there was an excessive amount of input. These businesses should make some savings in their output, considering that they cannot increase their inputs. Businesses will benefit both their budgets and nature and the environment with the savings they will make in their electricity use. Keywords: Gym Centers, Economic Efficiency, DEA, VRS, IRS, DRS
