“…For many faculty members there seems to be a deficiency of a lucid boundary separating their work and their personal lives (Greystl, 1971; Harry & Goldner, 1972). The precedent research has shown that many faculty members tie vacations to their work by scheduling them to coincide with leaves or conferences (Greystl, 1971). They regularly work for more than forty hours per week, have flexible work schedules that extend into evenings and weekends and spends a significant amount of time working at home both during the week and on weekends (Greystl, 1971; Sorcinelli & Gregory, 1987).…”

In today’s competitive world, the pressures of work have been escalating and there is a growing feeling among employees that the demands of work begin to dominate life and a sense of work life imbalance is felt. Thus, finding a balance between work and life in today’s swift world presents a major challenge to both the employer and employee. This article seeks to explore the variation among men and women academicians with regards to overall job satisfaction, job stressors and work family conflict that influence overall balance among the academicians. Data were collected via questionnaire. T-test and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) were used to find out the important component to persist balance. The result indicates that women faculty members as compared to the male faculty members exhibit a high degree of dissatisfaction with regards to career, family responsibilities and work life integration issues while balancing the work life domain.

“…A series of studies identified uses of leisure that were characteristic among specific occupational groups, and these cases could be divided into 'spillover' and 'compensation'. There were studies of architects, railway workers, coal miners, deep sea trawlermen, weavers, managers, bank clerks and social workers (Friedmann 1961;Gertsl 1963;Lansbury, 1974;Mott 1973;Salaman 1974). Parker (1971Parker ( , 1983 famously added a midway 'neutrality' option and relabelled the other work-leisure relationships as extension or fusion, and opposition.…”

A Future for UK Leisure Studies: Back to Work

The work-leisure relationship was the pivotal issue from the 1950s-1970s when the study of leisure first became a field of collective academic endeavour in North America and the UK. Since then this relationship has declined in visibility. It is now treated as just one among several sources of social divisions alongside gender, age, ethnicity, and also sexual orientations and (dis)abilities. Currently leisure studies has problems of identity, relevance and representation. This paper argues that the only secure future for the field is to return to work.

“…It is also a sport requiring closer co-operation between members of a team, reflecting more the content of working-class occupations than of individualistic middleclass occupations. Gerstl (1961) found that college professors participated in different recreation activities than admen and dentists.…”
