本研究的目的在於探討：(一)大專網球選手運動參與動機之現況；(二)不同背景下的大專網球選手對運動參與動機之差異情形。本文研究對象共360位，以運動動機量表(陳美燕，1995)測驗大專網球選手參與運動動機，研究結果發現：(一)大專網球選手在「內在動機」最高；「無動機」最低。(二)私立學校選手「內在動機」高於公立學校選手；每次練習2小時的選手「外在動機」分別高於3小時及4小時選手；另外，每次練習2小時的選手「無動機」高於4小時選手。因此本研究得以下結論：大專網球選手參與訓練的目的以運動獲得快樂滿足的動機最高，而練習時間的長短會影響選手「外在」及「無動機」。

The purposes of this study were: (1) to investigate the current situation of collegiate tennis players' participation motivation. (2) to compare the differences of participation motivation for different background collegiate tennis players. A total of Three hundred and sixty collegiate tennis players were served as subjects. The results indicated: (1) All of the collegiate tennis players had higher intrinsic motivation and lower amotivation. (2) private college players had higher intrinsic motivation than national college players.
