解說志工在遊客休閒及遊憩中扮演著重要的溝通角色，經由解說服務解說搭起遊客、管理單位、遊憩資源之間的橋樑。如何讓解說志工可持續涉入解說任務便是一重要課題，故本研究探討個人層次之認真性休閒、團隊凝聚力對休閒涉入之關係，。以非營利組織單位的解說志工為研究樣本，針對34 個非營利組織單位進行調查，以便利抽樣方式進行發放問卷，共獲得有效樣本394 份。運用partial least squares (PLS)分析變數之間的關係。結果顯示，解說志工「認真性休閒特質」會正向影響「團隊凝聚力」及「休閒涉入」；「團隊凝聚力」會正向影響「休閒涉入」；團隊凝聚力在模式中扮演中介角色。

Volunteer interpreters play an important communicative role in the leisure and recreation of tourists; interpreter services build bridges among tourists, administrative institutions and leisure resources. An important issue in this field involves the continuation of the involvement of volunteer interpreters in their guidance tasks. Therefore, this study explored the relationship between serious leisure and group cohesion on a personal level, as well as their relationships with leisure involvement. We used volunteer interpreters from non-profit organizations as the research sample, and surveyed 34 non-profit organizations. We also used convenience sampling in distributing questionnaires, and acquired 394 valid samples. We used the method of partial least squares (PLS) to analyze the relationships among variables. Results showed that the characteristics of serious leisure in volunteer interpreters would positively affect group cohesion and leisure involvement, and that group cohesion would positively affect leisure involvement and had a mediation affect in the model.
