Abstract

The subjective well-being (SWB) of older adult sojourners is a complex psychological phenomenon. This study employs a combined approach of partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM) and fuzzy qualitative comparative analysis (fsQCA) to investigate the linear and nonlinear effects of motivation on the SWB of older adult sojourners. The results indicate that relaxation and decompression, wellness retreats, escape, and self-actualization motivations have a significant positive impact on the SWB of older adult sojourners. However, simple antecedent variables do not individually constitute the necessary conditions for high-level SWB; each variable requires a conditional combination with other factors to generate high-level SWB. Furthermore, this study reveals that nine different combinations of fsQCA consistently lead to high levels of SWB in older adult sojourners. These nine combinations can be categorized into five specific causal pathways, with the escape motivation serving as a core condition in each pathway. This study extends the research on senior residential tourism and offers practical insights for enhancing the competitiveness of senior residential tourism destinations.

动机在老年旅居者主观幸福感中的作用：使用 PLS-SEM 和 fsQCA 混合技术进行调查

老年旅居者的主观幸福感（SWB）是一种复杂的心理现象。本研究采用偏最小二乘结构方程模型（PLS-SEM）和模糊定性比较分析（fsQCA）相结合的方法，研究了动机对老年旅居者主观幸福感的线性和非线性影响。结果表明，放松和减压、健康疗养、逃避和自我实现动机对老年旅居者的 SWB 有显著的积极影响。然而，简单的前因变量并不能单独构成高水平 SWB 的必要条件；每个变量都需要与其他因素进行有条件的组合，才能产生高水平的 SWB。此外，本研究还发现，fsQCA 的九种不同组合会持续导致老年旅居者的高水平 SWB。这九种组合可分为五种特定的因果途径，而逃离动机则是每种途径的核心条件。本研究扩展了老年居住旅游的研究范围，并为提高老年居住旅游目的地的竞争力提供了实用见解。
