摘要

Cycling is a leisure activity enjoyed by many people. Cycling club members use their spare time to participate in club activities with a serious and attentive attitude and exhibit long-term commitment. Cycling clubs not only provide their members with opportunities to socialize among other people with same interests but also collectively improve their riding skills, experience, and related knowledge. The purpose of this study was to establish a model for the relationship among serious leisure, leisure benefits, and well-being among cyclists. Members of cycling clubs in Tainan City were recruited through purposive sampling, and a total of 255 valid questionnaires were returned. Responses were analyzed using descriptive statistics, confirmatory factor analysis, and structural equation modeling. The results revealed that serious leisure had significant and positive effects on well-being and leisure benefits. Leisure benefits had a significant and positive effect on well-being and a mediating effect on the relationship between serious leisure and well-being. Confirmatory factor analysis of structural equation modeling results revealed that the proposed model is applicable to this study. For the members of cycling clubs in Tainan City, serious leisure, leisure benefits, and well-being exhibited clear causal relationships. In addition, leisure benefits mediated the relationship between serious leisure and well-being. That is, cyclists engaged in serious leisure obtained well-being through leisure benefits. Cycling clubs are recommended to consider the causes and effects of serious leisure reported in this model when promoting cycling in order to increase cyclists' leisure benefits and improve their well-being.

自行車運動乃廣受民眾熱愛之休閒活動，而自行車隊之騎士，是利用業餘的時間參與車隊活動，秉持認真用心的態度，並且長期投入；自行車隊不僅提供所屬成員認識其他同好之機會，亦可藉由彼此互動切磋，共同提升騎乘技巧、經驗與相關知識。爰此，本文旨在建構並驗證認真性休閒、休閒效益與幸福感之關係模式。係透過立意抽樣，選擇臺南市自行車隊騎士為研究對象，計回收255份有效問卷，將所得資料運用描述性統計、驗證性因素分析與結構方程模式等進行分析。結果發現：認真性休閒正向顯著影響幸福感；認真性休閒正向顯著影響休閒效益；休閒效益正向顯著影響幸福感；休閒效益對認真性休閒與幸福感之關係具有中介效果。經由結構方程模式驗證性分析之後，所提出之模式適用於此研究；臺南市自行車隊騎士，其認真性休閒、休閒效益及幸福感之間具有明顯的因果關係，且休閒效益於認真性休閒與幸福感間扮演著中介角色，亦即具備認真性休閒特質的自行車騎士，可以透過休閒效益而獲得幸福感。建議未來自行車隊在推廣自行車運動時，可運用本模型的認真性休閒層面之前因意涵，提升騎士的休閒效益，俾利增強騎士的幸福感。
