Abstract:

 The aim of this study was to test the leisure boredom perceptions and predictive power for motivations for participation in physical activity and presenteeism perceptions and analyze the effects among university students. Additionally, a secondary aim was to reveal whether leisure boredom perceptions, physical activity motivation and presenteeism differed according to some variables or not. In line with these aims, a total of 517 students attending different universities in Türkiye and volunteering to participate in the research completed the Leisure Boredom Scale LBS, Motivation Scale for Participation in Physical Activity MSPPA and Presenteeism Scale for Adults PSA. The data underwent correlation, regression, MANOVA and ANOVA. According to regression analysis, the LBS boredom subscale predicted the PSA work completion and avoiding distraction subscales; while it significantly predicted the MSPPA subscales of individual reasons and lack of reasons. Additionally, the LBS dissatisfaction subscale appeared to significantly predict the PSA work completion and MSPPA individual reasons, environmental reasons and lack of reasons subscales. The research findings identified significant differences according to gender, membership status and physical activity participation variables. In conclusion, the physical activity motivation and presenteeism of university students were identified to be associated with perceived boredom during leisure, and it is understood leisure perceptions positively affect important areas of life like health and education.

 Bu araştırmanın amacı; üniversite öğrencilerinin serbest zamanlarda sıkılma algılarının, fiziksel aktivite katılım motivasyonlarını ve prezenteizm algılarını yordama gücünü test etmek ve etkilerini analiz etmektir. Buna ek olarak, serbest zamanlarda sıkılma algısı, fiziksel aktivite motivasyonu ve prezenteizmin bazı değişkenlere göre farklılık gösterip göstermediğini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçlar doğrultusunda, Türkiyenin farklı üniversitelerinde öğrenim gören ve gönüllü olarak araştırmaya katılan 517 öğrenciye Boş Zamanlarda Sıkılma Algısı Ölçeği BZSAÖ; Kara, Gürbüz ve Öncü, 2014, Fiziksel Aktiviteye Katılım Motivasyonu Ölçeği FAKMÖ; Tekkurşun-Demir ve Cicioğlu, 2018 ve Yetişkinler İçin Prezenteizm Ölçeği YPÖ; Sarıçam ve ark., 2013 uygulanmıştır. Elde edilen verilere korelasyon, regresyon, MANOVA ve ANOVA uygulanmıştır. Regresyon analizlerine göre, BZSAÖ sıkılma alt boyutunun YPÖ iş tamamlama ve eğlenceden kaçma alt boyutlarını; FAKMÖ bireysel nedenler ve nedensizlik alt boyutlarını anlamlı derecede yordadığı tespit edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, BZSAÖ doyumsuzluk alt boyutunun YPÖ iş tamamlama; FAKMÖ bireysel nedenler, çevresel nedenler ve nedensizlik altboyutlarını anlamlı derecede yordadığı görülmüştür. Araştırma bulgularında, cinsiyet, üyelik durumu ve fiziksel aktiviteye katılım değişkenlerine göre anlamlı farklıklar tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, üniversite öğrencilerinde fiziksel aktivite motivasyonunun ve prezenteizmin serbest zamanlarda algılanan sıkılma ile ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmekle birlikte, serbest zaman algısının hayatın önemli alanlarına sağlık ve eğitim gibi olumlu etki ettiği anlaşılmaktadır.
