(2019) Professor Tsuji received the “Best Paper Award” from the Japanese Association for Sport Management in 2019 Professor Yosuke Tsuji received the Best Paper Award from the Japanese Association for Sport Management. The research title is “Team Identification Theoretical Reexamination”. 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.
