| Summary, etc |
To shed new light on the contested impact of service outsourcing, the study examines whether service outsourcing is associated with higher cost of entry and if higher pricing impacts service engagement among citizen groups. To this end, the study draws on secondary objective data to capture different ownership types in local authorities community sport provision (public, non-profit, private), the cost of access (£) to use community sport facilities, and the level of service engagement with the service among different citizen groups. The exploratory model draws on analysis of variance with a post-hoc test to examine if significant differences exist between ownership types on pricing and engagement. The empirical observations reveal that service outsourcing is associated with significantly higher pricing relative to traditional local government provision, but no significant differences are found in the levels of engagement among citizen groups between the three ownership types. – Reproduced |
