探討寵物犬飼主之休閒動機、休閒阻礙因素及影響休閒效益之研究

Leisure Motivation, Leisure Constraints and Impacts of Leisure Benefits: Case Study of Pet Dog Breeders

本研究目的是要了解現今飼主飼養寵物犬之狀況，探討飼養寵物犬之休閒動機、休閒阻礙因素，及影響休閒效益之相關性。研究對象以目前有飼養寵物犬為主，以隨機抽樣進行問卷調查，共得266份有效問卷，將所得資料以SPSS.18統計軟體之描述性、單因子變異數分析及Pearson相關進行統計分析。結果發現：飼主以服務業及單身的比例最高，平均年齡28.63歲，且大多數的飼主都與家人同住。而婚姻狀況中單身與飼養寵物犬的休閒動機有顯著性（P<0.05），主要影響飼養因素為可以自我實現，加強自己的責任感（M=4.20）。另外，飼養年資一年以下也與飼養寵物犬的休閒阻礙有顯著性（P<0.05），影響休閒阻礙則是以個人內在阻礙最大，如對寵物產生依賴感，害怕寵物的離去（M=3.85）。在休閒效益則以心理效益最高，可以使心情愉快，增添生活樂趣。進一步分析休閒動機、休閒阻礙與休閒效益之相關性，發現飼主休閒動機與休閒效益呈正向關係；休閒阻礙與休閒效益呈負向關係；休閒動機與休閒阻礙呈負向關係。本研究結果可以了解飼主飼養寵物犬的動機與阻礙因素，且證實能促進身心健康的休閒效益，並可以提供給對飼養寵物有興趣的民眾、寵物業者及發展寵物相關之休閒產業參考。

The study aims to understand the relations among leisure motivation, leisure constraints and leisure benefits of pet dog breeders. The research conducted random survey to breeders with pet dogs, and a total of 266 usable samples were collected. Results indicated that respondents were mostly single and worked in service industry with average age of 28.63. The majority of respondents lived with their families. There were significant differences between single and married respondents with the major factors of “can be self-fulfilling” and “can strengthen the sense of responsibilities” in category of leisure motivation (M=4.20). Results also showed that respondents with less than one year’s breeding experience seemed to have significant relations to leisure constraints of raising pet dogs; the biggest leisure constraints was intrapersonal, such as sense of pet dependence and fearing of leaving pets. In terms of leisure benefits, the psychological benefits were the highest, which might make respondents in good moods and have more fun in their lives. In addition, results indicated that there were positive relations between respondents’ leisure motivation and their leisure benefits, while there were negative relations between leisure motivation and leisure constraints.
