“…Difficile pourtant de ne pas se montrer perplexe face à une telle banalisation du voyage, qui interroge sur la distribution sociologique de la mobilité professionnelle (Viry, Kaufmann, et Widmer, 2009), sur les coûts de l'expatriation, souvent déguisée en choix de vie même lorsqu'elle est contrainte (Guillaume et Pochic, 2010), ou sur la précarité que dissimule l'octroi de visas « vacances-travail » à de jeunes travailleurs et autres « woofers » en quête d'expériences internationales à moindres frais (Perrier, 2015, pp. 36-38).…”

Faire de loisirs travail : les conditions sociales des reconversions professionnelles dans le tourisme

To what extent do leisure and travel participate in creating tourism professionals? How does one undertake a professional transition toward travel and tourism? Turning travel experiences into a job or leisure into a professional vocation is an increasingly widespread ambition. In the media, it is common to find incentives inviting anyone to leave his/her job and 'earn money while traveling around the world.' Against such commonsense discourses that tend to present passion, courage, and individual talent as the key elements of successful professional transition toward tourism and leisure jobs, the sociological analysis insists on the objective limitations and specific resources that are necessary to turn a passion into work, a travel experience into a livelihood, and a lifestyle into a commercial enterprise. Therefore, making a living out of travel and leisure is like 'making a virtue out of a need': it is pretendingadvantageouslythat a trajectory predetermined by social dispositions is the result of personal willingness and hedonistic motivations.

PurposeThis study aims to explore cross-border and sedentary workers' job satisfaction, analyzing the role played by employability dimensions (occupational expertise, anticipation/optimization and personal flexibility), a job resource (autonomy) and job demands (job insecurity and toxic leadership), using the job demands–resources (JD-R) model as a theoretical framework. Moreover, this study tried to detect possible discrepancies between the two subsamples.Design/methodology/approachThe study involved a sample of 250 employees, 40% of whom were frontier workers. Data were collected with a self-report questionnaire and analyzed with SPSS 25. A hierarchical regression analysis and t-test for independent samples were performed.FindingsThe findings evidenced differences between the two subsamples concerning the job satisfaction predictors. Specifically, for cross-border workers, optimization/anticipation appeared significantly positively related to job satisfaction. For sedentary workers, toxic leadership and job insecurity were significantly negatively related to job satisfaction. Autonomy was positively related to the outcome for both samples. Furthermore, cross-border workers reported a higher level of optimization/anticipation, personal flexibility and job satisfaction than sedentary workers.Originality/valueThis paper contributed to fill a gap currently present in the literature on the cross-border population, with a specific focus on job satisfaction. This study confirmed the existence of peculiar working dynamics for cross-border workers.

RESUMO:Neste artigo refletiremos sobre as atividades extracurriculares dos jovens das classes dominantes, tendo por base a realidade educativa de dois prestigiados colégios privados sediados em Lisboa. Após a revisão da literatura sociológica sobre a educação não formal e a importância das atividades extracurriculares no quotidiano dos jovens e das famílias e a apresentação das principais técnicas de investigação (inquérito e entrevistas), analisaremos os resultados empíricos sobre a adesão às práticas extracurriculares dos alunos desses colégios e os sentidos que lhes atribuem as respetivas famílias. Concluímos que a frequência dessas atividades é massificada entre os jovens dessas escolas e que essas preferências estão longe de ter um cunho marcadamente classista, refletindo, para além disso, o ethosda respetiva escola frequentada. Em sintonia com a literatura sociológica, concluímos ainda que a instrumentalidade e a lógica de investimento no futuro subjazem às opções juvenis e também parentais para a ocupação do tempo livre.
