Corporate social responsibility seeks to respond to the needs of interest groups through guidelines and standards and provide a solution to the environmental, social, and economic impacts of companies to the environmental, social, and economic impacts of companies. Therefore, this research aimed to design and validate a measurement scale of Corporate Social Responsibility in sports organizations. The sample consisted of 140 leaders of Colombian sports leagues and clubs. The results of the exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis technique through Software R validated four dimensions: 1) corporate governance, 2) human capital, 3) external stakeholders, and 4) the Impact of CSR.The reliability of the questionnaire was obtained by Cronbach alpha coefficient (α =.901). The study contributes to the scientific knowledge on the psychometric properties of instruments and this is a reference for instruments and for further studies on corporate social responsibility in the sports sector. Finally, we provide a scale that researchers and the academic community can use. Also, has practical and theoretical implications for stakeholders. In conclusion, the questionnaire is valid, reliable, and robust, with adequate psychometric properties.
