Abstract

Abstract: Work–leisure facilitation refers to the extent to which a person's engagement in work/leisure domain contributes to enhancing the functioning of leisure/work domain. Work–leisure facilitation comprises two directions: work-to-leisure and leisure-to-work facilitations. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the relationships among work–leisure facilitation, work/leisure self-efficacy, and work/leisure satisfaction, and to explore the possible mediating effect of work/leisure self-efficacy. Four hundred tour leaders/guides in Taiwan were chosen as the respondents by using the systematic sampling from the Association of Tour Leaders and the Association of Tour Guides in Taiwan. The results showed that work-to-leisure/leisure-to-work facilitation has significant positive effects on work/leisure satisfaction, leisure/work satisfaction, and leisure/work self-efficacy; leisure/work self-efficacy has a significantly positive effect on leisure/work) satisfaction. Moreover, the results also showed that work/leisure self-efficacy has a partial mediating effect on the relationship between leisure-to-work/work-to-leisure facilitation and work/leisure satisfaction.
