ABSTRACT

This study was to examine the relationships among runner’s motivation, self-efficacy, serious leisure and psychological commitment. The sample consisted of 277 runners who started running 6 months before the survey or had a experience of running a half marathon. Based on the results of the survey, exploratory factor analysis, correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis was applied to identify the relative influence of each variable on psychological commitment. Hierarchical regression showed that runner’s motivation, self-efficacy, serious leisure influenced psychological commitment at a different rate. This was because the effects of newly added variables offset against the effects of existing variables. Consequently, runner’s social motivation, satisfaction and gratification had a significant positive effect on psychological commitment. Finally, theoretical and managerial implications of these findings are discussed.
