Abstract

The study seeks to examine the prevailing sedentary leisure attitude factors at multiple levels (intrapersonal, interpersonal and institutional) among university staff in Ghana. 28 survey items to measure 5 variables, using self-reported responses are designed. Three categories of 33 universities were randomly sampled using a lottery method including 6 Traditional Public Universities, 5 Technical Universities and 22 Private Universities. Thirty participants were selected from each university and 35 participants from private universities. A total of 995 respondents participated in the study. The IBM SPSS for Windows Version 25.0 and SmartPLS 3.3.3 was used in data analysis. The results precisely suggest that sedentary leisure behaviour can augment university staff’s productivity. Sedentary leisure behaviour and university staff’s productivity nexus significantly differed based on religion and working hours. Thus, gender and employment classification groups do not moderate the relationship between sedentary leisure behaviour and the productivity of staff but religion and working hours do.
