The main reason why people are unable to enjoy their leisure time in the vast
majority of studies on leisure constraints has been discovered to be because of
the lack of time and financial burden. However, it is difficult to discover a
empirical study that proved whether people were unable to enjoy their leisure
time actually owing to the lack of time and money. This study empirically
verified if the major reasons why people can’t enjoy are lack of time and
financial burden. In addition, this study looked into characteristics of people
enjoying their leisure despite lack of time and money. The findings are as
follows. First, respondents who said they cannot enjoy their leisure due to lack
of time relatively had lack of leisure time on weekdays. Second, those who
answered they cannot enjoy their leisure due to lack of money also showed low
family income. Third, people with time and money constraints didn’t really use
more time and money negotiation strategies in order to overcome such
constraints. Fourth, the difference in leisure satisfaction according to the level of
time and money constraints was not found. Fifth, among those who felt time
and money constraints, people who enjoy their leisure used more time and
money negotiation strategies in order to get over those constraints. Furthermore
they had more positive leisure attitudes and developed leisure skills. Based on
the above findings, the implications of this study was discussed.
