ABSTRACT

The concept of engagement has been widely investigated in various fields. However, few studies have addressed the antecedents of leisure engagement. This study defined leisure engagement as a positive mental state of vigour, dedication, and absorption related to leisure activities. Two antecedents were considered, namely leisure crafting and time structure. Leisure crafting refers to individuals’ active pursuit of goal setting, human connection, learning, and personal development related to leisure activities. Time structure refers to the degree to which individuals perceive their leisure time use to be structured and purposive. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of leisure crafting and time structure on leisure engagement as well as examining the interaction effects of time structure and leisure type. Survey data collected from 360 individuals demonstrated that leisure crafting positively affects leisure engagement. A high level of time structure also positively influences leisure engagement. Furthermore, time structure positively enhances the effect of leisure crafting on leisure engagement. This study contributes to the literature by revealing that leisure crafting and time structure are crucial antecedents of leisure engagement, and by emphasising the contingent role of time structure. Finally, managerial implications and suggestions for future work are discussed.

摘要

参与的概念已在各个领域得到广泛研究。然而，很少有研究涉及休闲参与的前因。本研究将休闲参与定义为与休闲活动相关的积极的精神状态，包括活力、奉献和专注。考虑了两个前因，即休闲工艺和时间结构。休闲制作是指个人积极追求与休闲活动相关的目标设定、人际关系、学习和个人发展。时间结构是指个人认为他们的闲暇时间使用是结构化和有目的的程度。本研究的目的是调查休闲制作和时间结构对休闲参与的影响，以及检查时间结构和休闲类型的交互作用。从 360 个人收集的调查数据表明，休闲制作对休闲参与产生积极影响。高水平的时间结构也对休闲参与产生积极影响。此外，时间结构积极增强休闲制作对休闲参与的影响。本研究通过揭示休闲制作和时间结构是休闲参与的关键前因，并强调时间结构的偶然作用，为文献做出了贡献。最后，讨论了对未来工作的管理影响和建议。本研究通过揭示休闲制作和时间结构是休闲参与的关键前因，并强调时间结构的偶然作用，为文献做出了贡献。最后，讨论了对未来工作的管理影响和建议。本研究通过揭示休闲制作和时间结构是休闲参与的关键前因，并强调时间结构的偶然作用，为文献做出了贡献。最后，讨论了对未来工作的管理影响和建议。
