本研究旨在驗證鐵人三項參與者認真休閒特質、休閒阻礙、涉入程度及休閒參與之結構模式。以實際參與「2015 Ironman 70.3 Taiwan」國際鐵人三項競賽的國內及其餘使用中文字之外國選手為研究對象,於2015年10月30日至2015年11月1日競賽期間,以立意抽樣法實施問卷調查,共計回收371份有效問卷。資料經結構方程模式LISREL 8.80套裝軟體進行統計分析,研究結果顯示:認真休閒特質對鐵人三項參與者之休閒阻礙有直接且負面的影響(γ=-0.30, t=-4.98);認真休閒特質對鐵人三項參與者之涉入程度有直接且正面的影響(γ=0.79, t=13.00);休閒阻礙對鐵人三項參與者之休閒參與有直接且負面的影響(β=-0.17, t=-2.32);涉入程度對鐵人三項參與者之休閒參與有直接且正面的影響(β=0.26, t=1.99)。根據本研究結果,將提供舉辦及推廣鐵人三項賽事之主辦單位以及後續研究之參考。
The purpose of this study was to test a structural model of serious leisure, leisure constraints, involvement and leisure participation with a sample of triathletes. A method of purposive sampling was applied to acquire the subjects in 2015 Ironman 70.3 Taiwan dating from October 30th to November 1st , 2015. A total of 371 valid subjects were obtained. Lisrel 8.80 was used to test the structural model proposed in this study. Finding showed that (a) serious leisure has a direct negative effect on leisure constraints(γ=-0.30, t=-4.98); (b) serious leisure has a direct positive effect on involvement(γ=0.79, t=13.00); (c) leisure constraints has a direct negative effect on leisure participation(β=-0.17, t=-2.32); (d) involvement has a direct positive effect on leisure participation(β=0.26, t=1.99). Based on the results, suggestions and practical implications for event organizer were addressed in this study.
