ABSTRACT

During crises, sport organizations are said to play an important social role by facilitating community recovery; however, the literature lacks an overarching theoretical framework to explain how. Drawing on the social identity approach, we argue sport organizations can enhance well-being during crises to the extent that they foster shared identification among current and potential members. The Organizational Identification and Well-being Framework reflects this assertion, illustrating leadership functions to create an organization’s in-group identity that satisfies the needs of members in response to a crisis. It further outlines the SPRInT (Social support, Purpose and meaning, Relatedness, In-group norms, and Trust) pathways, which mediate the effect of organizational identification on member well-being. Our framework extends prior work examining organizational-level antecedents of identification with a sport organization by considering how identity leadership functions may foster organizational identification for individuals both internal and external to the organization. Moreover, it demonstrates how sport organizations may lead shared responses to address community needs and contribute to population well-being.

摘要

据说，在危机期间，体育组织通过促进社区恢复发挥了重要的社会作用；然而，文献缺乏一个总体的理论框架来解释如何。利用社会认同方法，我们认为体育组织可以在危机期间提高幸福感，只要它们促进当前和潜在成员之间的共同认同。组织认同和福祉框架反映了这一主张，说明了领导职能以创建组织的群体身份，以满足成员应对危机的需求。它进一步概述了 SPRInT（社会支持、目的和意义、相关性、组内规范和信任）途径，这些途径调节组织认同对成员幸福感的影响。我们的框架扩展了先前的工作，通过考虑身份领导功能如何促进组织内部和外部个人的组织认同，来研究组织层面对体育组织的认同。此外，它展示了体育组织如何领导共同应对社区需求并促进人口福祉。
