博士 / 國立臺灣師範大學 / 公民教育與活動領導學系 / 100 / The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship among the professional development, recreation specialization, and continuing leisure participation of professional scuba divers. Moreover, the theory of the distinction between the idea of work and leisure, especially from the serious leisure point of view, was used as the primary theoretical construct to re-examine the working/leisure behavior of scuba divers. A qualitative approach was utilized as the fundamental methodology for this study, and in-depth interviews and ground theory were served as the primary method for data collection and analysis. Totally 8 interviewees were recruited for exposing their professional diving experience through snowball sampling technique. From the result of data analysis, the following statements have been achieved: First, both intrinsic and extrinsic motivation play important role in becoming professional divers and affecting their leisure participation, as well as the factor of negotiation of constraints. Yet, extrinsic factors, such as negative feedback, are able to facilitate the transformative recognition toward the idea of scuba diving between work and leisure. In addition, there is a positive liner relationship among the professional development, recreation specialization, and serious leisure of professional scuba divers, and further, the initial motivation of participation and the length of involvement duration occupy critical position in determining the meanings of work/leisure in scuba diving experience.
