“…Thus, for example, Aitchison (2010) indicates, and Bramham (2006) implies, that Roberts supported the leisure society thesis in Contemporary Society and the Growth of Leisure (Roberts, 1978), whereas that is the volume in which he rejected it. Bramham (2006), Waring (2008) and Best (2010, p. 231) associate Stanley Parker with the leisure society but, in The Future of Work and Leisure, to which they refer, Parker does not mention the leisure society and is quite sceptical about claims of falling working hours (Parker, 1971, p. 11). And, as we have seen, in later publications he made clear that he rejected the thesis (Parker, 1975, p. 33;1976, p. 147).…”

“…Consistent with the concept of 'the entrepreneurial self,' the theoretical concept of 'workstyle' has been introduced in opposition to the term 'lifestyle,' which symbolises a person's individual choice in leisure activities (du Gay, 1995). Workstyle instead conveys how the influence of work on identities has intensified, and in the endeavour of shaping a desirable identity, individuals in different vocations and professions make certain lifestyle choices to develop an appropriate workstyle (Waring, 2008). The process of developing a workstyle shapes beauty student subjectivity, including activities of bodily maintenance as well as the consumer behaviour that these activities imply.…”

“…As earlier research has shown, boundaries between leisure and work have, in recent years, become less distinct (Lewis, 2003) and people make certain lifestyle choices in order to shape themselves into becoming appropriate workers in a specific vocation or profession (Waring, 2008). Especially in service occupations, these choices extend to the emotional life of the worker (see Hochschild, 1983).…”

In connection with this process, the concept of "workstyle" (in opposition to "lifestyle") has been introduced.…”

“…In connection with this process, the concept of "workstyle" (in opposition to "lifestyle") has been introduced. Where lifestyle refers to individual choices in leisure activities, workstyle instead symbolizes how the influence of work on identities has intensified to such an extent that individuals now make specific lifestyle choices in order to develop an appropriate and successful workstyle (Du Gay, 1995;Waring, 2008).…”
