This study explored the relationship and influence of college students' participation in water leisure sports, as well as the technology acceptance model (TAM). With the rapid development of the economy, the government is promoting various water leisure sports centered on the concept and policy of a maritime- and ocean-based nation. Based on the TAM, this study investigated the relationships among its ease of use, usefulness, water leisure involvement, benefits, barriers, and intentions to participate in water activities in connection with college students participating in water leisure sports. A total of 420 college students who participated in water leisure activities were sampled. There were 370 valid questionnaires, and the recovery rate of valid questionnaires was 82.2%. The data were analyzed by the structural equation modeling of the partial least squares method (PLS-SEM). The results show that the ease of use of water facilities had a positive effect on the usefulness, involvement, and participation in water activities; the usefulness of water facilities had a positive and significant impact on the intention to participate in water activities; water leisure involvement had a positive and significant impact on the benefits and the intention to participate in water activities; the intention to participate in water activities had a positive and significant impact on the benefits of water leisure activities. Furthermore, the study found that the intention to participate in water activities had a mediating effect between water leisure involvement and water leisure benefits; water leisure involvement had a mediating effect between the ease of use of water facilities and the intention to participate in water activities; the usefulness of water facilities had a mediating effect between the ease of use of water facilities and the intention to participate in water activities. In addition, the interaction between water leisure involvement and water leisure constraints had an interfering effect on water leisure benefits. Accordingly, recommendations for promotion and implementation are provided. Based on the TAM, the study provided suggestions for implementing water leisure sports to promote college students' participation behavior in water leisure sports.
本研究探讨了大学生参与水上休闲运动的关系及影响，以及技术接受模型（TAM）。随着经济的快速发展，政府正以海洋强国理念和政策为核心，推动各类水上休闲运动。基于技术接受模型，本研究调查了其易用性、有用性、水上休闲参与度、益处、障碍以及与参与水上休闲运动的大学生参与水上活动意图之间的关系。共抽取了420名参与水上休闲活动的大学生作为样本。有效问卷有370份，有效问卷回收率为82.2%。采用偏最小二乘法结构方程模型（PLS - SEM）对数据进行分析。结果表明，水上设施的易用性对有用性、参与度和水上活动参与有积极影响；水上设施的有用性对参与水上活动的意图有积极且显著的影响；水上休闲参与度对益处和参与水上活动的意图有积极且显著的影响；参与水上活动的意图对水上休闲活动的益处有积极且显著的影响。此外，研究发现参与水上活动的意图在水上休闲参与度和水上休闲益处之间起中介作用；水上休闲参与度在水上设施易用性和参与水上活动的意图之间起中介作用；水上设施的有用性在水上设施易用性和参与水上活动的意图之间起中介作用。另外，水上休闲参与度与水上休闲限制之间的相互作用对水上休闲益处有干扰作用。据此，提出了推广和实施建议。基于技术接受模型，本研究为实施水上休闲运动以促进大学生参与水上休闲运动行为提供了建议。
