Application of people management techniques in gyms

Abstract

Objective: Identify the application of techniques of recruitment, selection, training and development of people and plan of positions in gyms. Methods: The research had a qualitative approach, being interviewed four administrators of gyms in the city of Londrina - Paraná. For the evaluation of the data was used content analysis. Results: The results showed that all administrators reported not having a human resources sector in the gyms in which they worked. In relation to the application of the techniques, all managers reported using methods related to recruitment, selection, training and development of people. However, the training and development methods presented demonstrate a lack of knowledge of the techniques by the administrators. Regarding the distribution of positions, three gyms used methods for the distribution and one gym informed that there is no distribution of positions between the employees. Conclusion: It is concluded that managers, even presenting arguments and apparent understanding about the use of human resources techniques, need more knowledge about the subject. In fact, improved knowledge of the techniques can promote a steady organizational growth of gyms, providing better quality services, meeting the expectations imposed by the users of the gyms.
