The Effect of Spectators’ Level of Identification with Their Favorite Sports Teams on Their Perceived Quality and Purchase Intentions of Team-Licensed Products

Abstract

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of fans’ level of identification with their favorite sports teams on their perceived quality and purchase intentions of team-licensed products. The research data were obtained from Eskisehir Osmangazi University students and Anadolu University students by using convenience sampling method. A total of 314 data obtained in this study, were analyzed by means of AMOS 16.0 with structural equation modeling. The results showed that fans’ level of identification with their favorite sports teams had a significant positive impact on both their purchase intentions and perceived quality of their favorite sports teams’ licensed products. On the other hand, the results revealed that fans’ level of identification with their favorite sports teams had more effect on their purchase intentions of their favorite sports teams’ products than their perceived quality of team-licensed products
