Hours of Work and the Demand For Outdoor Recreation

El flujo turístico hacia las tierras de la Mancomunidad del Matarraña (Teruel, España): características de la clientela y demanda potencial

“…Son legión ya los autores que han aplicado en alguna de SLLS formas este tipo de razonamiento matemático, desde REILLY (1929) y STEWART (1947) y ZIPF (1949, pasando por VAN DOREN (1967), WOLFE (1972), McEVOY (1974, KLAASEN (1974), BIJKERK (1975), VAN LIER (1977), SMITH (1983) TALAYA (1987). La mayoría de ellos han puesto el acento en el papel de fricción de la variable distancia; SLE parámetros van desde el newtoniano d=-2 de Reilly, al d=-l de Stewart-Zipf, más propio de LUI país como Estados Unidos donde esta variable ejerce una fricción mucho menor; pocos sin embargo han ponderado otras variables socioeconómicas como hemos hecho en nuestro caso con la renta per cápita.…”

The 4-day workweek: effects on leisure behavior

“…The trend toward the institutionalization of a 2 compressed workweek has been noted by a number of writers (Kando, 1975;McEvoy, 1974;Stevenson, 197^;Poor, 1972;Poor and Steele, 1972;Wheeler et al, 1972;Samuels, 1971î Faught, 1970Kahn and Wiemer, 1967;Wilensky, I96I;Kaplan, 196O;Faunce, 19^3;Long, 1958;Seligman, 195^)• While only about one percent of the nation's work force currently is on a 4-day schedule, the numerical increase in 4-day companies has been dramatic. In 1970» there were only 60 or 70 companies with either all, or a portion, of their employees on a 4-day week.…”

The 4-day workweek: effects on leisure behavior

“…Poor and Steele (1972), for example, found that 92 percent of the employees they surveyed on a 4-day workweek were either "pleased," or "very pleased," with this schedule. Similarly, 93 percent of McEvoy's (1974) respondents on a 4-day workweek stated that they "greatly preferred," or "generally preferred," a 4-day, to a 5-day, workweek.…”

“…This research has indicated that workers tend to be more enthusiastic about a 4-day workweek after having had some experience with it 11 Dickinson andWijting, 1973» Poor andSteele, 1972;deGrazia, 1964). Once a 4-day workweek is implemented, general satisfaction of both employers and employees is evident (Goodale andAagard, 1975» Hilgert andHmdley, 1975;McEvoy, 1974;Dickinson andWijting, 1973» Nord andCostigan, 1973;Wheeler et al, 1972). Poor and Steele (1972), for example, found that 92 percent of the employees they surveyed on a 4-day workweek were either "pleased," or "very pleased," with this schedule.…”

“…A frequently offered explanation for this finding is that a shorter workweek provides employees with greater amounts of free time and allows them to pursue leisure alternatives that were not feasible under a 5-day schedule (McEvoy, 1974;Samuels, 1971). Based on these findings, it was posited here that those more favorably disposed toward a 4-day work week would display greater changes in leisure partici-2 pation than those less favorably disposed .…”
