Abstract

We determined the effects of perseverance and personal effort costs on durable benefits and leisure identity at various levels of serious leisure. The subjects of the study were participants in badminton clubs in Korea. In Korea, badminton has more players than any other club sport. A total of 204 responses were analyzed using SPSS 22.0. The analysis included confirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis, k-means cluster analysis, and multiple regression analysis. Subjects were categorized according to three levels of participation in serious leisure: Core Devotee, Moderate Devotee, or Participant. Analyzing the effects of perseverance and personal effort on durable benefits and leisure identity for each level of serious leisure indicated that individual effort had a statistically significant effect in the Core Devotee group and perseverance had a significant effect in the Participant group. However, neither factor had a significant effect in the Moderate Devotee group. This study demonstrated that the effects of cost on badminton participants vary by serious leisure level. Our results are meaningful in that they suggest that different leisure-promotion factors are needed for each level of serious leisure. This study provides a foundation for follow-up studies on leisure costs.
