This study used the theory of planned behavior (TPB) to investigate the behavioral intention (BI) of pickleball players. Pickleball players in a community in central Taiwan were purposively sampled for questionnaire survey using the self-developed“Questionnaire of Using Theory of Planned Behavior to Investigate Pickleball Players’Behavior Intention.”A total of 350 questionnaires were distributed and 339 were returned, achieving a response rate of 96.8%. Among the questionnaires returned, 321 questionnaires were valid, yielding a valid response rate of 94.7%. The obtained data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, independent-sample t test, analysis of variance, and structural equation modeling. The results showed that attitude had no significant influence on BI, subjective norm exerted significant influence on BI, and perceived behavioral control had significant influence on BI. Accordingly, this study proposed recommendations for practical and academic applications. |
