[Purpose] This study was to examine the relationships among title sponsor's social inference(majority exposure, reliability, topicality, & social response), sponsor attitude formation(sponsor attitude, event sponsorship attitude, & communication attitude), and sponsorship effect (sponsor identification, attitudinal loyalty, and behavioral loyalty) in the professional volleyball contexts. [Methods] A survey was conducted by using college students (n=370) majoring in sport and physical education at four universities located in Chungcheong Province. The data were recorded and analyzed using the SPSSWIN Ver. 21.0 and AMOS 18.0 to analyze the structural equation model. [Results] First, the increased majority exposure had a significantly negative effect on sponsor attitude. Second, reliability was found to impact significantly on sponsor attitude. Third, topicality was found to impact positively and significantly on sponsor attitude. Fourth, social response did not show significant impact on sponsor attitude. Firth, sponsor attitude was found to significantly influence on event sponsorship attitude. Sixth, sponsor attitude had positive impact on communication attitude. Seventh, event sponsorship attitude was found to impact positively and significantly on sponsor identification. Eighth, communication attitude was found to impact positively and significantly on sponsor identification. Ninth, sponsor identification was found to impact positively and significantly on attitudinal loyalty.
