The purpose of the present study was to compare job characteristics among Iranian soccer referees based on Job Characteristics Model (JCM) that it is one of the most common job design studies. 157 soccer referees in Premier League and A-league responded to seven-point Likert scale Jacko’s questionnaire (2004). To compare the core job characteristics of soccer referees, Repeated Measure, Bonferroni tests and Partial Least Squares (PLS) were used. Results show that characteristics of skill variety (0.79), specialization (0.77), feedback from job (0.62), information processing (0.61), autonomy (0.53), task significant (0.50), problem solving (0.27), had significant effects on core job characteristics among soccer referees, respectively. Characteristics of task significant, specialization, and skill variety had more effectiveness than characteristics of feedback, autonomy, and problem solving from referees’ view point (P≤ 0.05). Thus, based on factor loadings and priorities of job dimensions, problem solving can be eliminated, whereas specialization and information processing can be added to core job characteristics of soccer referees. Generally, soccer referees believe that soccer judgment is of importance, specialization, worthwhile, and high responsibility.

Firstly, for data analysis, a Kolmogoroff-Smirnoff test was carried out of the normal distribution function and regarding the abnormal data distribution, data were analyzed by Man-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis as a non-parametric statistical way. The results revealed that 81.45% of the participants were aware of their duties and legal responsibilities in the sports events. Moreover, there was a significant difference between the legal responsibilities opinions based on genders (P ≤0.05). It means that the female coaches were more aware of their civic law responsibilities.

In other words, the coaches with higher education level (≥ Master) were more aware of their duties and legal responsibilities.

For data analysis, the Kolmogorov Smirnov, t independently and T2 Hotelling test were used. To determine and clustering the items of the questionnaire, exploratory factor analysis was used with KMO index and the Bartlett test was used to assess the goodness of fit model. The percentage of variance explained by each factor and the model were used as a predictive index (p <0/05). The results show that the demographic characteristics of age, sex, marital status, number of years of membership, can be used for market segmentation. However, segmenting the number of use at a month and customer income variables were not significant (p>0/005). Thereby, managers would enjoy the benefits of these results.
