This article attempts to shed some empirical attention on sport fans' feelings of pride toward multiple sport consumption objects (e.g., team color, logo, home stadium, fight songs, and glory of the past). Data were collected from spectators at professional soccer and baseball games in Japan. The results from Study 1 provided evidence of the scale's construct validity and supported the notion that fans' pride feelings positively influence their identification with the team as well as with the fan community. In Study 2, we found further evidence of construct and nomological validity and concluded that there were two important sequential relationships (1) between fans' feelings of pride toward tangible sport consumption objects (e.g., logo and stadium), team identification, and conative loyalty and (2) between pride feelings toward objects related to communal fan experiences (e.g., logo and fight songs), fan community identification, and conative loyalty.

<p>The objective of this study is to confirm the intentions of J. League spectators to support a club. Specifically, data was collected from 619 J. League supporters, and a hypothetical model that assumes a relationship among attachment, team identification, and club support intentions was examined using structural equation modeling. In addition, to verify the difference in the intensity of supportive behavior, supporter-club members and non-members and supporter-association members and non-members were compared. From the results, it was observed that team identification and attachment to a fan community affected club support intentions, and among the two, the effect of the former was stronger. Further, no differences were observed that compared supporter-club members and non-members. In the comparison between supporter-association members and non-members, differences were observed in the relationship between attachment to a fan community and club support intentions and that between attachment to a local city and team identification.</p>

Lately, brand communities have been a heavily researched topic in marketing science. Prior work on brand communities has proved that community participation has a positive influence on brand loyalty. One of the key factors is the concept of identification with the brand community (Algesheimer et al., 2005). However, the leading factor for identification with the community has seldom been investigated (Miyazawa, 2011). Additionally, while previous empirical researches were focused on brand community of consumer goods such as car clubs, there is no research about brand community of professional sports clubs. Thus, the purpose of our study is to (1) verify a conceptual model of how different aspects of members' relationships with the brand community of professional sports club influence their intentions and behaviors, based on Algesheimer et al. (2005), (2) construct and estimate a conceptual model of the leading factor of identification with the community.

Understanding spectators' perspectives towards a sports competition is one of the major marketing issues in professional sport management. The purposes of this study are (1) to develop a scale to measure spectators' involvement in athletic elements of figure skating which can be deemed as the core product, (2) to examine the relationships of such involvement with antecedent variables and consequent variables, and (3) to examine involvement in athletic elements by the difference in gender of a player supporting. We analyzed a sample of 478 spectators at the 2013 NHK Trophy Grand Prix of Figure Skating. The results of confirmatory factor analyses revealed that athletic elements consisted of technical and aesthetic dimensions. Furthermore, the findings indicated that spectators' involvement had significant relationships with their knowledge regarding figure skating as well as consequent variables such as their intention to support a specific athlete and spectating behavior. This observation could significantly contribute to the development of marketing strategies for figure skating events.

This research develops the Experiential Value Scale for Sport Consumption (EVSSC). Drawing from the literature on experiential research, a second-order factor model of experiential value was developed. The items were mainly adopted from the Experiential Value Scale (EVS) by Mathwick, Malhotra, and Rigdon (2001). The original items were generated from in-depth interviews with professional football spectators, in addition to the review of previous research. The reliability and validity of the proposed measures were assessed by Cronbach's alpha coefficients and a confirmatory factor analysis. The results provided fair support for the EVSSC. Confirming an acceptable model fit to the data, hierarchical and non-hierarchical cluster analyses were conducted by using eleven factors in the EVSSC. Four clusters emerged and were interpreted as “Experiential Valued Spectators,” “Non-Experiential Valued Spectators,” “Intrinsic Valued Spectators,” and “CROI Valued Spectators.” Although the results showed the modification on the EVSSC constructs, the findings and recommendations for future research provide numerous opportunities for advancing our understanding of experiential value marketing.

The drivers of team attachment and repurchase behavior are complex. What remains unexplored is to examine the effects of spectator motives on team attachment and repurchase behavior among event attendees of a new professional sport league. Using a sample of 1228 attendees at J. League games in 1998, the authors demonstrate that (1) spectator motives consist of six factors, (2) the attraction-stage motives have significant effects on the attachment-stage motive (soccer club attachment) that in turn influences attendance frequency, and (3) the effects of the attraction-stage motives on the attachment-stage motive are enhanced by two moderating variables (gender and stadium size). The results suggest that managers must differentiate the marketing of individual athletes from the marketing of game, soccer, and club, specifically for male consumers and spectators attending games at small stadiums.

This study aimed to examine the effectiveness of the online examination system for grasping the psychological state of players in university sports club by clarifying the relationship between the psychological state and competition performance, and the transition of the state. During the month and a half before the target game, we conducted two tests on one track and field club to compare the scores of players who improved their records and those who did not, and examined changes in scores. As a result, the players who were able to break their own records had high patience and effectiveness in improving their performance at the start of the season. However, the endurance was significantly decreased at the second measurement. Additionally, the team's performance in the target game was better than in last three years. These findings suggest the effectiveness of grasping mental states in mental health care and team management.

After the 2015 and 2019 Rugby World Cups, the Japan Rugby Top League games attracted many new fans including female fans and niwaka fans (bandwagon fans/fair-weather fans). Understanding the characteristics of game attendees could be crucial to retain new fans and expand the fan base. The purpose of this study was to categorize attendees into four segments according to gender and fan types and to compare their characteristics, motivations for attending games, and knowledge of rugby. Data were collected from seven games at five venues from January 12 to 26, 2020. The four segments—male niwaka fans, female niwaka fans, male regular fans, and female regular fans—were compared by one-way analysis of variance. It was found that male regular fans had supported rugby since 1980, while female regular fans appeared after the 2015 Rugby World Cup. Further, the motivations of female niwaka fans and regular fans were different.

COVID-19 outbreak has forced sport spectators to keep social distancing in the stadium/arena, causing economic damage to sport organizations due to a lack of matchday revenue. However, the situation would arouse sport spectators' nostalgia for their past experiences in the sporting venue. Thus, the purpose of this study was to clarify whether nostalgia for spectating sport in the stadium/arena during the pandemic differed by involvement in sport spectatorship. In December 2020, an online survey of Japanese sports spectators (n = 728) was conducted. The result of confirmatory factor analysis explained that sport spectators' experience-based nostalgia during COVID-19 was engendered from memories of their favorite teams, stadiums, and social interactions in the stadium/arena. Mann-Whitney's U tests resulted that sport spectators with higher involvement in sport spectatorship perceived nostalgia stronger than those with lower involvement. Sports teams and leagues could benefit from the knowledge during the “with-corona” period.

Over the last three decades, the conceptual and theoretical importance of team identification has increased. However, many previous studies have confused role identity-based team identification with the group identity-based approach, failing to distinguish between these two constructs. In light of this concern, the current study presents a thorough review of the key concepts and theories underlying team identification. Through a conceptual analysis, we explained the construct of team identification and its impact on consumer behavior on the basis of four relevant theories (identity theory, social identity theory, organizational identification theory, and the consumer-company identification framework). Furthermore, an empirical study, which was a complementary part of this research, showed that the impact of group identity-based team identification on consumers' collective self-esteem and behavioral loyalty was stronger than that of role identity-based team identification. Our conceptual arguments and directions for future research contribute to the advancement of knowledge on sport fans.

Although the relationship between a sport team and its fans has been long understood as team identification which is a type of self-team connection, limited attention has been devoted to the idea of communal-team connection (also called fan community identification). This study is one of the first attempts to conceptualize fan community identification and examine its antecedents and consequences. Data were collected from spectators attending professional baseball and soccer games in Japan. The results indicated three points of attachment (sport, player, and local city) were significant precursors of fan community identification. The findings also suggested fan community identification positively influenced team identification. Moreover, the impact of fan community identification on future attendance frequency was stronger for those spectators having a short-term relationship with the team than for those spectators having a long-term relationship. Including fan community identification, the results extended previous research that has focused primarily on team identification.

Generally, the use of public funding for constructing stadiums and arenas is justified by the expected region-wide economic impact, or positive externalities and public-goods aspect of sports. However, it remains unclear whether these impacts or benefits are fully supported by academic evidence. This study, therefore, presents a systematic mapping review of literature to assess the impacts and benefits of sports facilities. Quasi-experiment studies published in peer-reviewed journals since 1997, presenting evaluations of the impact of sports facilities and professional sports teams as well as monetary assessments of their intangible benefits, were reviewed. A structured overview of 52 selected studies, conducted primarily in the United States, is provided. The review presents the scope and type of impact, outcome variables, methodological approaches, and main findings of these studies. The paper presents a series of implications for policymakers and researchers on sports facility management in Japan.

The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between club performance and revenue in Japanese professional football clubs. In Europe, Union of European Football Association (UEFA) decided to introduce financial fair play (FFP) for the purpose of the sound management for all clubs. In Japan, J.LEAGUE decided to introduce the club license system in 2013. In this way, through importance for the management of J.LEAGUE club would increase. This paper examines, the relationship between revenue and club performance in the J.LEAGUE club by making use of analyzing the panel data from 2005 to 2010. As a result, two-way fixed effect model was selected. This implied that there were differences among each club and there were time effects between seasons. From the scale of fixed effect, clubs in metropolis are not always profitable. And we find that club's performance do not significant affect the revenue.

The purpose of this study is to clarify (1) how the autonomy set by the parent company affects the strategic decision-making of J. League clubs and (2) how clubs negotiate with their parent company over autonomy, focusing on agency. Although literature in management studies has discussed the relationship between subsidiary autonomy and strategic behavior, there is no empirical research on J. League clubs. Therefore, this study analyzes a fourteenyear case of Yokohama F. Marinos to examine the above two research questions. First, this paper describes how the parent company of Yokohama F. Marinos had an impact on the club from 2009, reducing the club's autonomy and constraining its ability to be strategic. Next, we describe how Yokohama F. Marinos responded to the change by extending its autonomy through negotiation and improving its productivity. Finally, we discuss the contributions of this study.

The purpose of this research was to understand sport management faculty's perceptions toward sport management classes in Japanese Universities. More specifically, the study sought to reveal deans' (or program directors') perceptions of importance to these classes at the undergraduate level. Survey results from 48 universities indicated that “Management Concepts,” “Sport Marketing,” and “Internship/Practical/Experiential Learning” were the top three most important classes. “Foundations of sport” and “Capstone Class” rounded the top five important classes. Surprisingly, sports communication classes, deemed most important by practitioners, did not place in the top five. The results inform for a better sport management curricula development in Japanese higher education institutions.
