The purpose of this research was to examine the role of leisure in undergraduate students’ education. In particular, the study investigated the relationships among leisure centrality, self-satisfaction, and academic intrinsic motivation. Using a sample drawn from university students in Singapore, this study examined a hypothesized structural model. The results showed that leisure centrality had positive effects on both self-satisfaction and intrinsic motivation, and leisure centrality had a mediated relationship with academic intrinsic motivation through self-satisfaction. The findings of this study expand the knowledge of the consequential effects of leisure centrality by observing university students.
