    Abstract:

    The survival of any organization in today's competitive world depends on high productivity and appropriate management methods to achieve it. This research was conducted with the purpose of the relationship between customer experience management and organizational productivity in indoor swimming pools in West Azerbaijan Province using a descriptive-correlational method. The statistical sample of the research is equal to the statistical population and includes all the indoor swimming pools of West Azarbaijan province (42 indoor swimming pools). The research tool was standard questionnaires of customer experience management and organizational productivity. Their content validity was confirmed by sports management professors and their reliability was obtained by Cronbach's alpha test, equal to 0.82 and 0.86, respectively. The results showed that there is a significant correlation between customer experience management and organizational productivity, and also between the components of customer experience management including customer satisfaction, customer loyalty, brand and trademark, and service quality with organizational productivity, and there is also a significant correlation between the components of organizational productivity including efficiency and effectiveness with customer experience management (p>0/1). Finally, the results of multiple regression showed that the service quality dimension has the ability to influence productivity, but the satisfaction, loyalty and brands do not have this prediction. In general, by using this management method, many people can be attracted to sports, and in this way, the efficiency and effectiveness and consequently the productivity of sports organizations can be improved to a great extent.

    1-1-Introduction

    In today's era, creating change and transformation in organizations is a necessary and inevitable thing, because societies, organizations, competitors and Everyone is changing and transforming, and any organization that does not want to follow these changes and transformations and remains stagnant and calm and does not have harmony and alignment with its external environment, is doomed and by absorbing positive entropy tends to disorganization and decline, because the existential philosophy of organizations is the need of society, and therefore, advanced and developed societies are those that have efficient and effective and developed organizations (Mohammadi Alagoz, 2009, p. 1).

    What is meant by society's needs is the same as the needs of customers. For success, organizations must consider customer needs as the most important factor. But it should also be taken into account that customers have preferences to meet their needs and based on these preferences, they choose certain organizations. So, one of the success strategies for any organization is to make itself one of the unconditional choices of the customer. This work requires that the understanding and experience of the customer is considered as an important factor, because the customer decides to repeat the purchase or benefit from the services of that organization based on his previous experience of interacting with an organization. If the customer's experience with the organization and its services is positive and he has a favorable mental history of that organization, he will refer to that organization again. However, if in his previous interaction with the organization, his understanding of the organization was not favorable enough, the probability of him returning again will decrease, which in the long run will lead to a decrease in productivity and, as a result, efficiency and effectiveness in the organization (ibid., p. 2).  

    Business success cannot be taken for granted today, that's why understanding and predicting consumer behavior is the key to success in planning and managing change and transformation.  Since the provision of services required establishing a direct relationship with service recipients, researchers have been able to analyze customer loyalty while establishing stable interactions with them. Therefore, maintaining customers and establishing long-term relationships with them was considered (Afchengi, 2012, p. 64).

    Given the importance of customer satisfaction, in the field of economic activities in the world, a customer-oriented attitude and gaining customer satisfaction is considered one of the principles of business, and not paying attention to these principles is likely to be eliminated..

    Due to the importance of customer satisfaction, in the field of economic activities in the world, a customer-oriented attitude and customer satisfaction is considered one of the principles of business, and not paying attention to these principles will result in the possibility of being removed from the market, because if the goods and services meet the customer's expectations, he will feel satisfied, and by re-purchasing himself and encouraging others to The survival of that organization helps (Salimi, 1371).

    Using appropriate management methods and paying attention to the quality of services provided are factors that play an important role in improving customer satisfaction. Satisfaction is the emotional reaction of the customer that results from the interaction with the supplier organization and the consumer of the product. Satisfaction results from the perceived difference between the customer's expectations and the actual performance of the product or organization. The customer's previous experiences of consuming the organization's product, as well as his experience of interacting with the supplier organization, play a fundamental role in shaping his expectations (Mamari, 2012, pp. 117-130). Are there any guarantees for the permanent existence of the customer (in the private sector) for many years after the handover? This in itself highlights the issue of profitability and guaranteeing the organization's productivity in the future. Since customer experience management is a process that attracts and retains customers through improving customer experiences and increases long-term profitability in the organization, it can be a breakthrough in this case. The second issue is that in the discussion of sports marketing, one of the basic issues besides p4 is the concept of c4, which is how to create satisfaction in the consumer by promising better and more value while maintaining the past market. This process requires keeping the customer first and then turning him into a loyal customer and finally a fan, and it can be said that this is possible only through the correct management of the customer experience (Nadrian, 2016, pp. 59-68). The customer knows about advertising, packaging, training, product features, ease of use, and reliability. Customer experience is formed by customer expectations, which mainly reflect his previous experiences (Janfarsa, 2018, pp. 62-65).

    Customer satisfaction is achieved in two ways. First, he compares the service provision and performance of the institution and company with his expectations, if he finds the services provided exceed his expectations, he will be satisfied.  Second, satisfaction is obtained by the person's previous positive experiences of the services and performance of the institution and organization. If a person's experiences are pleasant, his satisfaction will be met (Anderson et al., 1994, 53-66).

    The purpose of CEM is to move the customer from satisfaction to loyalty and from loyalty to favoritism, or in other words, the goal of customer experience management is to create loyalty and commitment in the customer by reducing negative experiences that can lead to customer dissatisfaction and destroy value, and by turning a satisfied customer into a fan. or fan creates value (Kamaladevi, 2009). Therefore, this research seeks to find out what is the relationship between customer experience management and organizational productivity [1] in the indoor swimming pools of West Azarbaijan province? give, because the volume and frequency of purchases or visits of loyal customers is more and they stay in touch with the organization for a longer period of time and introduce you to others. Customer loyalty depends to a large extent on his understanding and recognition of the organization (Janfarsa, 2008, p. 64). Based on customer recognition, achieving a certain amount of experience through increasing customer satisfaction, loyalty and customer favor, the desired brand and service quality, it is possible for the organization to become completely customer-oriented and be able to attract and retain customers in the organization (Moharramzadeh, 2009, pp. 1-10).

    The concept of customer experience was first proposed by Payne and Gilmore [2] in an article in 1998.
