چکیده

هدف پژوهش حاضر، مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری تأثیر محدودیت‌ها بر میزان رضایت‌مندی با نقش میانجی انگیزه‌های گردشگران ورزشی بود. جامعۀ آماری پژوهش، کلیۀ گردشگران پیست‌های اسکی استان تهران (دیزین، شمشک، توچال و آبعلی) بودند که با توجه نامشخص بودن تعداد دقیق جامعه (10000=N) با استفاده از جدول نمونه‌گیری مورگان، 370 نفر با استفاده از روش نمونه‌گیری تصادفی طبقه‌ای نامتناسب (به‌علت عدم دسترسی به تعداد مراجعه به هر کدام از پیست‌های اسکی) به‌عنوان نمونۀ پژوهش انتخاب شدند. ابزار گردآوری داده‌ها، پرسشنامۀ محدودیت‌ها، انگیزه‌ها و رضایت‌مندی گردشگران ورزشی وی (2008) بود که پس از ترجمه و بومی‌سازی، روایی صوری و محتوایی آن توسط 11 تن از استادان متخصص در حوزۀ توریسم ورزشی تأیید و روایی سازه هم با استفاده از تحلیل عاملی تأییدی (CFA) بررسی شد. پایایی ابزارها نیز با استفاده از ضریب آلفای کرونباخ به‌ترتیب برای متغیرها 84/0، 87/0 و 79/0 به‌دست آمد. داده‌ها جهت مدل‌یابی به روش مدلسازی معادلات ساختاری با استفاده از نرم‌افزار Lisrel تحلیل شدند. نتایج پژوهش تأییدکنندۀ روابط ساختاری مفروض بود. به‌طوری‌که متغیر محدودیت‌ها هم به‌طور مستقیم (19/0-) و هم غیرمستقیم از طریق میانجی انگیزه‌ها (44/0-) در جهت معکوس بر میزان رضایت‌مندی گردشگران تأثیرگذار بودند. همچنین انگیزه‌ها نیز به‌طور مستقیم بر رضایت‌مندی گردشگران تأثیر معنادار و مثبت داشت (14/1)؛ بنابراین نتایج و مدل ساختاری بیان‌کنندۀ این است که با کاهش و رفع محدودیت‌ها هم بر میزان انگیزه‌ها و هم بر میزان رضایت‌مندی گردشگران ورزشی برای حضور در پیست‌های اسکی افزوده می‌شود.

چکیده [English]

 
The aim of the present study was structural equation modeling of the effect of constraints on satisfaction with the mediating role of sport tourists’ motivation. The statistical population consisted of all the tourists of ski resorts in Tehran province (Dizin, Shemshak, Touchal, Abali). Due to the indefinite number of the population (N=10000), 370 subjects were selected as the sample by disproportionate stratified random sampling method (due to lack of access to the number of referents to each ski resorts) using Morgan sampling table. The data were collected by the questionnaire of constraints, motivations, and satisfaction of sport tourists (2008). After it was localized and translated, its face and content validity was confirmed by 11 experts of sport tourism and its construct validity was investigated through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The reliability was also achieved by Cronbach’s alpha coefficient as 0.84, 0.87, and 0.79 for variables respectively. The data were analyzed for modeling with Structural Equation Model (SEM) through Lisrel software. The results confirmed the hypothesized structural relations, that is to say the constraints variable had a reverse effect both directly (-0.19) and indirectly (-0.44) through motivation mediator on tourists’ motivation. Besides, the motivations directly affected tourists’ motivation in a positive and significant way (1.14). Therefore, the results and structural model allude to the fact that reducing and removing constraints increase sport tourists’ motivation and satisfaction to attend ski resorts.
