ABSTRACT
This study aimed to contribute a leisure industry development in South Korea. A total of 362 adults were recruited and administered questionnaires assessing demographic characteristics, leisure facilitation, recreation specialization, and wellness. I conducted frequency, reliability, correction, confirmatory factor, and structure equaling modeling analyses using PASW Statistics 18.0 and AMOS 18.0. The results were as follows: The first, leisure facilitation had no influence on recreation specialization. The second, leisure facilitation had no influence on wellness. The third, recreation specialization had a positive influence on wellness. These results suggest the need for a supportive leisure industry such as facilities, programs, leaders, and application for leisure activities.
