In previous studies, it has been reported that lack of time and money is the most critical leisure constraint. It presumed that the correlation between those constraints and leisure constraints negotiation strategies has not yet been studied, this study hypothesized that they do not always enjoy their leisure only when they have enough time and money. It examined the degree of perception of insufficient time and money which are most frequently mentioned as leisure constraints and the difference between actual leisure time and working hours, and leisure costsand earnings. Then, it investigated leisure constraints negotiation strategies according to the degree of time/finance constraints perception. It also inquired the difference in leisure constraints negotiation strategies depending on leisure satisfaction of the group which strongly perceived leisure constraints. Total 231 adults age 20 and older, including government employees and company staff in Seoul, answered the survey. As the result of comparing their actual leisure time and working hours, and leisure costs and earnings, there was a statistically significant difference in insufficient time and money among leisure complaints perceived. Most of them held positive perceptions and attitudes towards leisure, regardless of the presence of leisure complaints and the difference in leisure satisfaction. In conclusion, there existed the difference in leisure satisfaction depending on use of leisure constraints negotiation strategies. In addition, it examined the difference in leisure constraints and its negotiation strategies according to sex and marriage, and women thought that they have no enough time for leisure, compared to men. There was no difference in leisure complaints between a married and an unmarried, and it presented that unmarried people spend their money more freely.
