“…Sport has the power to unite people with each other beyond cultural, social, ethnic and religious barriers (4), hence, sport industry has become one of the new and effective players in national and international markets (5). CSR is now a significant domain of focus for sport organizations including sport federations, sport leagues, and/or sport clubs, but has rarely been considered and measured in the sport management research field (6). So, sport organizations and sport managers need to be aware of developments about CSR and its strategic importance in sport just as corporate managers in other industries.…”

“…In addition, CSR in sport can play a very important role in influencing stakeholder attitudes and buying behavior. Therefore, sport related bodies can benefit via their CSR approach like protecting and maintaining their reputation, developed loyalty of fans, competitive advantage, improved financial performance, recognition, improved relations with society, enhanced image, and performing ethical and altruistic behavior (6)(7)(8).

Background. While more and more sport organizations broadly acknowledge their ability at delivering social values, corporate social responsibility (CSR) is rapidly growing at a significant rate across the professional sport industry and its related organizations. Despite the growing body of research in this area, measuring CSR is still problematic. Objectives. Therefore, the aim of this study is to provide an efficient, valid, and reliable measure of CSR reflecting the responsibilities of sport industry. Methods. Based on a proposed conceptual framework of CSR, a scale was developed via a standard procedure for developing instrument measures. In this study, to determine and assess the underlying factorial structure, convergent and discriminate validity of measurement scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was performed. Data was collected from 640 sport fans in Iran's Football Premier League. Results. The results of the analysis provided a five-dimensional structure of CSR in sport, such as economic, philanthropic, ethical, legal, and environmental issues. These dimensions explained 50.827% of the total variance. In addition, the KMO measure was computed and the results indicated an index of 0.927. Moreover, the values of Cronbach's alpha obtained for five factors ranged from 0.848 to 0.967. The results show the reliability and validity of this new scale in sport industry. Conclusion. This study implies that from a consumer's perspective, CSR is perceived as a set of attributes; therefore, it is important for a professional sports team's management to understand fans' interest in social issues and fans' responses to various CSR programs.

“…Shared value refers to activities that generate not only economic value for firms but also produce value for society by addressing its challenges [70]. Smith and Westerbeek [9] and Filizöz and Fisne [73], for example, have found out that sports provide companies with an effective way of creating social value and expressing their commitment to surrounding communities.…”

Sport is a widely used as a vehicle for promoting business. Global brands invest tens of millions of euros in high performance athletes, top teams, and popular sporting events. Studies have also shown the potentiality of sport in the business context. However, relatively few studies have focused on the interaction of business and sport from a value-creation perspective. Knowledge focusing on value creation within and through sport is scattered throughout literature and a systematic understanding of how value creation manifests itself in a business context is lacking. Using a systematic literature review and inductive analysis of 44 empirical studies, the article presents six identified topics that represent the various angles to value creation in the nexus between sport and business. The topics are 1) the many shades of value, 2) brands and sponsorship as value-creators, 3) the value of CSR in and through sport, 4) sport as a network and platform, 5) sport for developing organisations internally, and 6) value congruence and identification. The article contributes to both business management and sports management. The article proposes theoretical and managerial implications and identifies avenues for further research.

“…Finally, at the top of the pyramid there is the philanthropic responsibility of business, which encompasses all business matters taken in order to improve the quality of life of the employees, the local communities and the society in general. This last level of the Carroll's pyramid addresses a wide range of CSR issues, such as charitable donations, support to local schools, or sponsoring art and sporting events, among others [3,4]. This paper studies the differences in CSR behavior among some economies.…”
