本研究之目的在於了解台灣南部大專院校教師之工作滿意、休閒動機與背景變項,以及科系主任之領導行為對教師休閒參與之影響情形。研究對象為南部三縣市38所大專院校之教師,以隨機與叢集抽樣法取500位教師為研究對象。以工作滿意量表、休閒動機量表、休閒參與量表以及領導行為描述量表為研究工具,進行調查。所收集之資料以SPSS統計套裝軟體進行描述性、信度、積差相關以及迴歸等統計方法分析。研究結果發現:(一)在發出500份的問卷中,回收348份(69.6%),得到有效問卷312份,佔所有調查問卷62.4%。(二)受訪教師中有接近一半的人一週的休閒活動時間低於5小時,顯見教師在工作之餘仍然忙碌或是不甚願意參與休閒活動,但亦有19.2%的受訪教師每週願意花10小時以上之時間參與休閒活動。(三)大專教師之整體休閒動機偏向正向動機,但實際之休閒參與卻偏低,可見教師常因某些因素而阻礙了他們去從事休閒活動。(四)大專教師在拓展知識領與以及與人產生互動之動機最強,可見其參與休閒之意念與欲望深受學術與輔導工作特性之影響。另外,他們也想藉著參與活動而使自己感覺很好,以及為了放鬆情緒。可見教師的工作可能常有失落感,而想再別的方面找到成就感。亦不難了解教師緊張的學校生活。(五)教師對工作之滿意度並不高,極可能嚴重影響教師之休閒參與。(六)教師之工作滿意度對其休閒活動最具預測力。

Descriptive statistics, reliability tests, Pearson product-moment correlation and regression analyses were used to analyze the collected data by the SPSS. Primary findings and conclusions to emerge from this study include the followings: (1) Total number of 312 useful questionnaires were returned and the effective response rate was 62.4 %. (2) The time the near 50 % of faculties spent for their recreation was below 5 hours, and 19.2 % of faculties spent more than 10 hours for it. (3) Faculties had positive leisure motivation, but low frequencies of leisure participation.
