Abstract

Objectives: This study was conducted to clarify the relationship among participation motivation, game immersion, and exercise performance for golf players and to provide fundamental resources that are helpful in improving performance by maximizing game immersion and exercising performance. Methods/Statistical Analysis: Frequency analysis, factor analysis, reliability verification, correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted on 225 golf players and the following conclusions were drawn. Findings: First of all, participation motivation for golf players was positively correlated with cognitive immersion and behavioral immersion as sub-variables of game immersion. In addition, participation motivation was positively correlated with personal performance, team performance, and ability utilization as sub-variables of exercising performance. Secondly, according to the identification of the influence of participation motivation on cognitive immersion and behavioral immersion, internal satisfaction, social recognition, and adding values had positive influences on the two variables. Third, according to the identification of the influence of participation motivation on personal performance, team performance, and ability utilization, internal satisfaction, social recognition, and adding values had positive influences. Application/Improvement: Considering the limitations of this study, a followup study is recommended to evaluate more developmental outcomes. First of all, this study was limited in scope to college golf players. Therefore, a follow-up study is expected to include golf players in middle/high school and college and also adult players. Secondly, seeing as how there has recently been an increase in the number of golf players, a follow-up study is expected to include potential user classes.

The target of the research is 239 club members who were participating in marine sports in 2015. Methods/Statistical Analysis: For the data processing, exploratory factor analysis, reliability analysis, correlation analysis and multiple regression analysis were used and the results of the research are as follows. Findings: First, the result of examining the relationship between leadership types of marine sports instructors and sports confidence shows that the training instruction type and social support type showed positive correlations with the coach leadership. The democratic type and the positive reward type had positive correlations with coach leadership. Authoritative leadership showed a negative correlation with coach leadership and a positive correlation with body mental preparation. Second, in the relationship between the leadership types and coach leadership, the training instruction type and the democratic type showed significantly positive effects. Also, in the relationship between the leadership types and body mental preparation, the authoritative type showed a significantly positive effect. Third, the relationship between the leadership types and social support and proven ability did not show statistical significance. Application/Improvement: Therefore, the leadership types of marine sports instructors have a positive significant relationship only with coach leadership and body mental preparation of sports confidence.
