The current study investigated the determinants of the desire and intention to participate in an inner-city 'running crew' among social runners using a theoretical framework of the model of goal-directed behavior (MGB). Data were obtained from 245 social runners in Korea using an online questionnaire and primarily analyzed with the structural equation modeling technique. The results indicated that the desire to participate in a running crew was influenced most by positive anticipated emotions, followed (in descending order) by attitudes, negative anticipated emotions, social norms, perceived behavioral control, and the frequency of past behaviors. Runners' behavioral intentions were predicted by desire but not directly related to perceived behavioral control and the frequency of past behavior. Overall, the study emphasized the importance of positive anticipated emotions and behavioral desire, among others, to encourage recreational runners' participation in social running activities. Given that social runners rely on mobile apps to participate in running crew activities, the current study's results have practical implications for running crew organizers, sports-branded app developers, and health promotion agencies.
本研究运用目标导向行为模式（MGB）理论框架，考察了都市“跑步团体”中社会跑步者参与意愿和参与意向的决定因素。通过在线问卷，从韩国的 245 名社会跑步者那里获得了数据，主要采用结构方程建模技术进行分析。结果表明，参与跑步团体的愿望主要受积极预期情绪的影响，其次（降序排列）是态度、消极预期情绪、社会规范、感知行为控制和过去行为的频率。跑步者的行为意向由愿望预测，但与感知行为控制和过去行为的频率没有直接关系。总的来说，该研究强调了积极预期情绪和行为愿望等因素的重要性，以鼓励休闲跑步者参与社交跑步活动。鉴于社会跑步者依靠移动应用程序参与跑步团体活动，本研究结果对跑步团体组织者、运动品牌应用程序开发商和健康促进机构具有实际意义。
