Description
Summary:Recreationist delight refers to the positive emotional response to surprising leisure experiences in specific recreational settings. Recreationist-environment fit signifies the compatibility between the recreationist and their recreational environment. This fit is realized when they satisfy each other's needs and when the recreationist and environment manager share similar values. This study proposed and tested the relationship between the recreationist-environment fit (including its six dimensions) and recreationist delight (including its three dimensions). The results indicated that the recreationist-environment fit had a significant positive impact on recreationist delight. These findings have managerial implications and provide useful reference data for future research.
