Abstract
ABSTRACT This study examined what leisure planning priorities and activities contribute to retirement vitality and satisfaction. Founded on Self-Determination Theory (SDT) and Serious Leisure Perspective (SLP), an online survey and a focus group discussion were conducted to collect qualitative and quantitative data. Qualitative data were analyzed using the constant comparison method, word count, and classical content analysis. Quantitative methods were applied to determine if retirement satisfaction and vitality related to SDT constructs in addition to retirement leisure planning priorities. Spearman correlation analyses showed significant correlations between vitality and retirement satisfaction, competence satisfaction, relatedness satisfaction, and autonomy satisfaction, and casual leisure competence and project leisure competence. Significant correlations were also found between retirement satisfaction and retirement competence, relatedness satisfaction, and autonomy satisfaction, and casual leisure competence. Suggestions for further research are recommended, and specific priorities for retirement planning are proposed.
