Identities in the Sport Workplace: Development of an Instrument to Measure Sport Employee Identification

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Social identity theory (SIT) has proven to be a popular topic ofdiscourse in academia. Scholars in the field of sport managementhave predominantly focused on team identification and howsport fans align with their favorite teams. However, recent developments have explored how sport employees identify with theirsport organizations. To date, the maturation of theory involvingsport employee identification (SEI) has only reached the conceptual stage. This study is intended to fill the void in the literatureby creating a psychometric instrument to specifically measure SEI.
The results indicate that SEI is a composite of two distinct butrelated factors, named sport affinity and collective enhancement.
The instrument was subjected to and passed various reliabilityand validity tests. The appropriateness of using team identification variables to measure sport employees’ social identities is alsodiscussed. Lastly, theoretical and practical implications for the useof the instrument are provided.
