The study is as follows: 1. Unmarried teachers have a high demand for recreational social activities but they have low level of participation in the activities. The outcome contracts to the demand. 2. They also have a high demand for sports activities but most of them do not have the energy to participate, so the outcome is also somewhat contradictory. 3. Actual participation in time-killing recreations is high because they do not require much input of energy and are able to provide quality recreation. 4. Demand for educational international and national travels is high. Even if they are busy, they would still participate in it because to them, it recompenses their hard work during schools. 5.
