Abstract Undoubtedly, due to its impact on both revenues and the home advantage, social performance is a key factor of success for football clubs. Growing revenues and the government’s eagerness to promote football in Turkey in recent years have created desirable conditions for Turkish clubs. However, research into the impact of social performance success has not received much attention, especially in Turkey, despite Turkey being one of the major leagues in Europe. This study aims to fill this gap in the literature. It does so by investigating social performance using a two-stage stochastic frontier analysis drawing on evidence from the Turkish Super League between the 2012/2013 and 2017/2018 seasons. Results from the first stage illustrate that social efficiency leaders change almost every season. Results from the second stage of research identify which specific factors are diminishing the social technical efficiency for clubs in the Turkish Super League. It emerges that the fundamental source of social inefficiency in Turkey is the Passolig, an identification system implemented in 2014. Furthermore, it transpires that heterogeneity among the clubs’ hometowns is also highly influential on social efficiency. However, even though attendance has managed to recover back to pre-Passolig levels, social efficiency is still lower than the pre-Passolig levels.

社会绩效的效率分析–土耳其超级联赛

摘要毫无疑问，由于它既影响收入，也影响家庭利益，社会绩效是足球俱乐部成功的关键因素。近年来收入的增长以及政府对在土耳其推广足球的渴望为土耳其俱乐部创造了理想的条件。但是，尽管土耳其是欧洲主要联盟之一，但对社会绩效成功的影响的研究并未受到太多关注，尤其是在土耳其。这项研究旨在填补文献中的空白。它通过使用两阶段随机前沿分析来调查社会绩效，以土耳其超级联赛在2012/2013年至2017/2018赛季之间的证据为依据。第一阶段的结果表明，社会效率领导者几乎每个季节都在变化。第二阶段的研究结果确定了哪些特定因素正在削弱土耳其超级联赛俱乐部的社会技术效率。事实证明，土耳其社会低效率的根本原因是Passolig，这是一种于2014年实施的身份识别系统。此外，这表明俱乐部的家乡之间的异质性也极大地影响了社会效率。但是，即使出勤率已成功恢复到Passolig之前的水平，但社会效率仍然低于Passolig之前的水平。这说明俱乐部的家乡之间的异质性也极大地影响了社会效率。但是，即使出勤率已成功恢复到Passolig之前的水平，但社会效率仍然低于Passolig之前的水平。这说明俱乐部的家乡之间的异质性也极大地影响了社会效率。但是，即使出勤率已成功恢复到Passolig之前的水平，但社会效率仍然低于Passolig之前的水平。
