碩士 === 大葉大學 === 休閒事業管理學系碩士在職專班 === 97 === This research aims at discussing the relations between the personality traits of dif-ferent people and their participation motivation and leisure satisfaction, with Yoga par-ticipants in Changhua County serving as examples. In total there were 500 question-naires issued, among which 421 valid copies were collected, making a valid recovery rate of 84.2%. Results of the research drew from statistical analysis are as follows: The majority of Yoga participants are females, married people, 41 to 50 years old, and those with university or college educational background. Schools and community universities dominate the venues for this sport. Participants that have been practicing Yoga for more than 3 years and have Yoga lessons more than once per week account for the largest percentage. Of these Yoga participants, “Agreeableness” is the most significant personality trait, “health and physical fitness” serves as the most popular participation motivation, and above average is the level of leisure satisfaction. There is significant positive correlation between the personality traits of these Yoga participants and their participation motivation, between their personality traits and lei-sure satisfaction, also between their participation motivation and leisure satisfaction. Among the top five personality traits of these Yoga participants, “Extraversion” poses the biggest influence upon “participation motivation”; and “Agreeableness” af-fects “leisure satisfaction” the most. Finally, discussion is carried out based on the results, with suggestions to relative organizations and units for subsequent researches.
