The Work/ Leisure Relationship: Toward a Useful Typology

Abstract

By reorienting the study of work and leisure to a more sensitised approach, wherein “common‐sense” understandings of actors may be the grounding for scientific understanding, it may be possible to discover how these actors construct, modify and change their meanings regarding work and leisure. The categories which fall between work and leisure may be crucial and examination of these may determine conditions under which work has spillover, compensatory relationship, or no relationship to leisure.
