본 연구는 여행경험이 직장인의 근로의욕과 행복감에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자 하였다. 이를 위해 대구광역시, 경상남도, 경상북도의 직장인 남녀 405명을 대상으로 SPSS Statistics 18.0 프로그램을 이용하여 분석하였다. 첫째, 연구대상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 여행경험은 성별, 학력, 직업에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었으나 연령, 결혼여부, 평균소득에서는 유의한 차이가 없었다. 둘째, 국내여행 횟수에 따라 여행경험은 차이가 있었으나, 체류기간에는 차이가 없었다. 반면, 국외여행 횟수에 따른 여행경험은 하위요인인 관계적 경험만 유의한 차이가 있었다. 그리고 국외여행은 체류 기간에 따라 유의한 차이가 있었다. 셋째, 여행경험은 직장인의 근로의욕과 행복감에 유의한 정(+)적인 상관관계가 나타났다. 넷째, 여행경험이 직장인의 근로의욕과 행복감에 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 여행경험의 하위요인인 감각적, 행동적, 관계적 경험이 근로의욕에 유의한 영향을 미쳤고, 감성적, 인지적 경험은 유의한 영향을 미치지 않았다. 그리고 여행경험의 하위요인인 감성적, 인지적, 행동적 경험이 행복감에 유의한 영향을 미쳤고, 감각적, 관계적 경험은 무의미하였다. 이상의 연구결과를 보면, 여행경험은 직장인에게 행복감을 주며, 이는 근로에 대한 긍정적인 의식과 의욕을 높여준다고 볼 수 있다.
