Abstract

It has been argued that all serious leisure activity is founded upon a strong sense of companionship and community. Besides, social capital is widely believed to generate mutual understanding and communal reciprocity. Sport event volunteering is considered a form of serious leisure. However, the interrelationships between these concepts deserve further investigation. This study analysed the interrelationships between serious leisure volunteering and social capital acquisition of 311 World Masters Games volunteers using a structural equation model. Moreover, differences between groups of volunteers were assessed. The findings revealed a significant relationship between serious leisure and social capital. Local volunteers, for example, identified significantly more with serious leisure volunteering than those from outside of the host region.

有人认为，所有严肃的休闲活动都是建立在强烈的友谊和社区意识之上的。此外，社会资本被广泛认为可以产生相互理解和社区互惠。体育活动志愿服务被认为是一种严肃的休闲方式。然而，这些概念之间的相互关系值得进一步研究。本研究采用结构方程模型分析311名世界名人赛志愿者认真休闲志愿活动与社会资本习得的关系。此外，还评估了各组志愿者之间的差异。研究结果揭示了严肃休闲与社会资本之间的显著关系。例如，当地志愿者对严肃的休闲志愿活动的认同明显高于东道国以外的志愿者。
