This study employed a sportscape model to analyze environmental impact on spectators’behavior. In addition, the loyalty construct in the sportscape model was reanalyzed based on the theoretical framework. Five hundred questionnaires were distributed to the spectators of World University Taekwondo Championship, and 418 questionnaires were used for data analyses. The analyses of measurement and structural models were conducted using SPSS 18.0 and EQS 6.2 programs. The results indicated that the measurement model showed acceptable reliability and validity. The structural analysis showed that five stadium factors (parking, cleanliness, crowding, food service, and fan control) have significant effects on spectators’ desire to stay and to revisit the stadium. Loyalty also positively affected revisit intention. This study emphasizes sport environment to make spectators revisit and provides future research suggestions to improve the sportscape model.
The aim of this study is to empirically verify the relationships between innovativeness perception of and involvement in sports products, and hedonic value, product attitude and purchase intention through the structural equation model. For this purpose, this study conducted a questionnaire survey of 291 college students in Chungcheong region. Sampling method was Quota Sampling Mode, and questionnaire has been structured to be self-administerd type. SPSSWIN Ver. 21.0 and AMOS 18.0 have been used for data processing. As a result, first, it was found that innovativeness perception had a positive influence on hedonic value; second, innovativeness perception had a positive influence on product attitude; third, product involvement had a positive influence hedonic value; fourth, product involvement had a positive influence on product attitude; fifth, hedonic value had a positive influence on purchase intention; sixth, product attitude had a positive influence on purchase intention. Such results imply that it's not desirable to overlook the level of innovativeness perception & involvement from a corporate perspective when an enterprise develops and launches new sports products.
The purpose of this study was to analyze the effects of employee’s job burnout on turnover intention and to draw average effect size(weighted averaged fisher’s z) in sports industry.

Based on the expanding concept of public value in most of areas as well as in public administration, the purpose of this study is to explore the meaning and functions of public value in sport pedagogy in Korea. For doing this, this paper has classified the concept of public value into classical and modern concepts and re-conceptualized it throughout diverse concepts implemented in several areas (e.g., social welfare, media, & culture-arts). Thus, this paper has explored the meaning of public value in sport pedagogy for analyzing the common element among the public values of sport, education, and scholarship. The public value of sport pedagogy is conceptualized as ‘the discipline that has inquired the public knowledge and also that has been served the instrumental role for making better society’. In addition, this paper has suggested the conceptual framework to extend the areas that can be applied the public value of sport pedagogy inside and outside in Kinesiology with reflection about academic and practical activity of Sport Pedagogy. Lastly, this paper has searched the multiple functions of public value in Sport Pedagogy such as educational, cultural, integrative, and global functions that could connect the academic and professional activity of Sport Pedagogy into making the public value of Sport Pedagogy.
As an attempt to think about the popularization of Korean sport history, this paper discusses three main things. First, it will be introduced what public/popular history is, how it has been developed, and why it is important to history as an academic discipline. Second, it will be summarized how sport historian embraced public/popular history into their practices in terms of what theoretical, critical, and methodological aspects they have focused. Third, I will discus why public/popular history is useful in the ways in which Korean sport history envisions its popularization in Korean society. To be more specific, I highlight two ideas: an insight for understanding sport history as a process and sport historiansʼ role of critic. Based upon these two, I will argue that Korean sport historians might need to actively embrace practices of public/popular history into their studies of the Korean sporting past.
The research is to shed new light to historical meaning and value of Carl Diem who was a pillar of modern sports in Germany and also served as an athlete, PE administrator, journalist, sports scholar and dean of a university. He has been highly regarded in Korea as a trail-blazer of German sports, but in his own country, he who once served as the secretary general of the 1936 German Olympics was at the center of controversy since he was named as a pro-Nazi, and even the name of a place named after him was deleted. Having said that, as an athlete, he played a huge role in organizing sports clubs where he worked as an chairman; organized and held various sports competition events; laid the academic groundwork for the modern sports in Germany by majoring in Sports in the United States. Above all, he is the one who came up with the torch relay and staved to define the significance of the Olympic Games by founding the International Olympic Academy. His academic and practical capabilities were proven through the establishment of Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln, also known as German Sport University Cologne. And Carl Diem Research Institute is still up and running to this day. Thus, in this research, I’d like to take a look at his passion for sports and changes of German sports including the German Olympics and offer a multi-faceted view on him who was evaluated during a historical turmoil back then.
The purpose of this study was to examine psychological capital acquisition through Asian Games Participation. 17 of national women football players were completed Psychological Capitals Questionnair. The psychological capital consists of optimism, psychological skills, self-management, collective efficacy, and performance perception was investigated after the team call-ups and before the team-release. The data was analyzed by paired t-test. As results, Korean women football players’ collective efficient and performance perception showed a statistical significance at the beginning of the team call-ups but optimism, psychological skills, and self-direction did not show statistic significances. The team-harmony, interpersonal-management, team-power, sufficient training, trust in coach, efficient communication, and psychological football factors, which were subfactor of football players’ psychological capital, showed statistical significances. However, confidence, concentration, goal-setting, imagery, willpower, anxiety-control, mental-management, life-management, training-management, innate-behavior management, physical-management, football skills, mediative skills, and football intelligence factors did not have statistic significances. These results demonstrate that effects of mega sporting events-like experiences and psychological factors’ variability and inflexibility according to weather changes should be considered when it comes to discussion of psychological factors regarding players’ performance. It is expected that this study would be a fundamental resource for understanding of psychological influences through participations in mega sporting events and discussions about further psychological interventions for teams with environmental consideration as well as methodological developments which could measure effects of the psychological interventions.
