dc.description.abstractReasons for participation in leisure activities with regard to values and ideas vary from person to person, from community to community and from culture to culture. The purpose of this study was therefore to investigate the behavioural determinants of participation in leisure activities of Sokoto State Civil Servants. To achieve this, hypotheses were formulated and ex post fact research design was adopted. A total of four hundred (400) copies of self – developed and standardized questionnaire was printed and distributed among the junior and senior staff of the ten selected ministries from the state. A total of three hundred and ninety five (395) copies of the questionnaire was returned. The simple convenient sampling technique was used to select respondents from each of the selected ministries. The data collected were analysed at the Institute of Agricultural Research (IAR) ABU, Samaru, Computer. Centre, using the SPSS statistical package at probability level of P<0.05. i. Descriptive statistics of means and standard deviation were computed for all the variables of all junior and senior civil servants separately. ii. Correlation coefficient for the selected variables was computed for the reliability. iii Pearson Product moment correlation among variables was computed for relationship. iv Stepwise Multiple regression analysis was computed for prediction of behaviour. The study revealed that, despite the facilities provided by the government and private organizations for participation in leisure activities, there was a decreasing level of participation in leisure activities. It was recommended that efforts should be made to involve all and sundry in providing leisure centres in work places and people should be enlightened on the leisure activities in improving health and fitness.en_US
