ABSTRACT “Workation” is a new type of remote work in response to the increasing digitalization and flexibilization of work. By facilitating a combination of the domains of work, recreation and private life with an optional touristic-oriented pursuit, workation spaces promote flexible work practices and have significant impact on the working lives of knowledge workers, companies and several industries worldwide. While the original task of the real estate industry is to provide jobs in the form of offices, new players are suddenly entering the market, such as the hotel industry. This interesting mixture opens up exciting research approaches. There exists a rather extensive knowledge gap in literature understanding these work–leisure activities. Particularly striking is the lack of a clear classification of workation and little empirical evidence on workation exists. Therefore, this paper aims to provide a coherent descriptive basis, definition and classification of workation based on first empirical evidence by outlining a case study. The conceptual analysis finds that workation can be categorized into three types – traditional workation, coworkation and workation retreat – each with different characteristics. Finally, affected industries are studied and effects from workation on economies are shown. By providing a first taxonomy of workation, this paper might serve as a basis for further research.

ABSTRACT Digital nomads live a new way of life that creates an ideal balance of work and leisure. Research on the phenomenon of digital nomads is still in its early stages and is not fully framed as a proper research category. Therefore, the present research aims to explore research on digital nomadism by study leading countries, authors and themes that can become a foundation for future research. This study is exploratory and interpretive – using bibliometrics, we systematically searched all articles indexed in the Web of Science database. The study presents the evolution of scholarly production, and identifies key authors and countries that have the potential to become pioneers in digital nomad research. We identified 17 core concepts of digital nomad research as well as concepts that have not yet received much attention from scientists. Additionally, our study provides a framework for research on digital nomadism and presents topics for future research: we determine how the 17 core concepts identified in this study affect the lives of digital nomads, research into legislation that directly affects digital nomads, study how COVID-19 has changed working styles, and offer a bibliometric analysis of data on digital nomads from other databases.
摘要数字游牧民的生活方式是一种新的生活方式，它创造了工作和休闲的理想平衡。对数字游民现象的研究仍处于早期阶段，尚未完全确定为一个适当的研究类别。因此，本研究旨在探索研究领先国家、作者和主题对数字游牧的研究，为未来的研究奠定基础。这项研究是探索性的和解释性的——使用文献计量学，我们系统地搜索了Web of Science数据库中索引的所有文章。该研究介绍了学术成果的演变，并确定了有潜力成为数字游牧民族研究先驱的关键作者和国家。我们确定了数字游牧民族研究的17个核心概念，以及尚未得到科学家太多关注的概念。此外，我们的研究为数字游牧的研究提供了一个框架，并为未来的研究提出了主题：我们确定本研究中确定的17个核心概念如何影响数字游牧的生活，研究直接影响数字游牧生活的立法，研究新冠肺炎如何改变工作方式，并对其他数据库中的数字游牧民族数据进行文献计量分析。

ABSTRACT For fans of the band Phish, their primary forum for engaging their fan identity is through participation in the perennial communities that only come into being when the band is on tour. Because of the liminal nature of concerts and tours, the most faithful of fans develop a type of sociocultural competence that helps them acclimate and relate to other members of the music scene to make the most of their finite time together. This sociocultural competence transcends observable aspects of a community and is something that must be learned over time and comes only through immersion in the music community along with a high level of dedication. In short, it is a set of social skills that are only available to the initiated, something that was evidenced by the participants of this study and their commitment to the band, its music, and the scene. Further, while fans come to the music scene to engage their freedom of individuality, many also find that uniqueness is accepted, contributing in a way where the sum is greater than the parts.

ABSTRACT One of the prerequisites for the resurgence of the leisure and tourism sector in France, as in other countries, is the adoption of verification documents known as “Covid-19 Certificate” However, this introduction is widely debated. In an endeavor to inclusiveness, given the rejection of the use of this certificate among certain individuals, this exploratory study examines the impact of the Covid-19 certificate requirement on access to leisure. A sequential mixed-methods exploratory design was used to conduct two interrelated studies using data from a netnography (n = 250 online comments), and surveys among concerned subjects (n = 245 participants). First, six hypotheses are proposed to explain the causes of refusal. These hypotheses are tested and validated using SEM, and the results show that the requirement of the Covid-19 certificate to access leisure services places a part of the population at a disadvantage, leading to exclusion. The introduction of the Covid-19 certificate, poses a new challenge for the inclusive society. In the context of leisure, the results obtained allow to point out the constraints of participation related to the use of the Covid-19 certificate and can thus be useful to guide management strategies in an exceptional situation.

ABSTRACT The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions of participation and engagement among participants of a fandom-based virtual community. Netnography, a specialized from of ethnography adapted to the unique computer-mediated environment, was utilized to analyze posts collected from the Hogwarts Running Club (HRC), a closed Facebook group. The HRC was a virtual community with over 16,000 members that was founded in 2014 to provide a space for members to share stories, experiences, and passion for running and Harry Potter. The text of the collected posts was coded thematically. Four themes emerged: You’re a Wizard Harry: Shared Passion for Harry Potter, Running in the Rain: Engagement Despite Challenges, Hogwarts is Home: Identity, and Pepper-up Potion: Improvements in Mental and Physical Health and Well-being. As a conceptual framework, the themes aligned with the Serious Leisure Perspective. HRC members whose posts were analyzed exhibited one or more of the six characteristics of Serious Leisure with all six characteristics being represented within the dataset. Findings suggested that virtual communities, as a leisure setting, can facilitate Serious Leisure engagement and should be considered a viable setting for Serious Leisure participation.

ABSTRACT Though leisure is noted to possess therapeutic efficacy, its impact on the psychological wellbeing of people with visual impairment, particularly in Africa has received little research attention. The burden of disability on the psychological wellbeing of people with visual impairment in African societies makes it imperative to understand how leisure contributes to their psychological wellbeing. Based on individual interviews with 43 people with visual impairment in Ghana, this study finds that the people with visual impairment participate in passive leisure activities and are not satisfied with their psychological wellbeing. Further, the findings indicate that leisure enhances and diminishes the psychological wellbeing of the people with visual impairment. In terms of enhancement of psychological wellbeing, leisure served as a space for reflection and recuperation and as a space for social interaction and bonding. Regarding decline in psychological wellbeing, leisure reinforced their loneliness and thereby triggered negative self-thoughts. The implications of these findings in the context of improving the psychological benefits of leisure participation to people with visual impairment are discussed.

ABSTRACT This article, through the use of a case study focused on Frederick W. Taylor, shows how the issue of mastery with people engaged in their work can be a significant factor connecting a person’s work and leisure worlds. As a labourer, then gang boss in a steel mill, Taylor “developed” stratagems piecemeal to solve the problems that he faced in working in industrial factories. The issue of time became fundamental in his thinking and led to his becoming a manager and “The father of Scientific Work Management”. Concurrently his leisure pursuits grew from nightly runs to becoming a champion tennis player, to becoming an Olympic golfer, to fashioning his own tennis racket and golf clubs while experimenting over years with many varieties of seeds in an attempt to create “the one best” type of grass for putting greens. His work life never stopped. There is not time and then spare time, J. B. Priestley wrote and Taylor became adept at “Managing all his Time”. His life experience may be seen as an illustrative case of how work (of an engaged nature) and what mindset one comes to embrace at work can be replicated in one’s leisure time physical activities.

ABSTRACT While intention is considered the proximal determinant of behaviour, scholars point to an intention–behaviour gap, calling for research that accounts for the environmental moderators that constrain or facilitate the intention–behaviour relationship. Adopting an ecological perspective, the study examined the potential moderating influence of five leisure constraints and facilitators on the running intention–behaviour relationship within the context of community running clubs. Employing a repeated measures design with members of four community running clubs across the Midwest United States, results of the multi-level modelling indicate running intentions and time significantly predict actual running behaviours. The findings provide no evidence that the leisure constraints and facilitators (leisure constraints, leader autonomy support, perceived motivational climate, club operations and club programmes) influenced the relationship between running intention and running behaviour. These results add further evidence to support the intention–behaviour relationship and suggest this relationship may fluctuate across contexts.

ABSTRACT The imaginary is constituted as one of the bases of human desires. The images created in us when in contact with the environment sometimes drive or hinder human actions. A study on the climbers’ imaginary can help in understanding the impulses that move them to this activity. Thus, the objective of this article is to develop a reflection on the imaginary of traditional climbing, seeking images that inspire climbers in their relationship with the world. The analyses were elaborated through the following research process: search in historiography and mythology about representations that reveals the climber’s imaginary through time; dialogue with authors of imaginary studies and research on climbing and adventure sports; ethnographic field research with interviews conducted at famous climbing points of the Chilean and Argentine Patagonia. The image of the traditional climber is configured beyond the ascending movements in the cliffs. It has a dynamic structure guided intimately in the relationship of the body with the mountain environment. To clarify these reflections, we coined the expression “intimate body”, in line with the thoughts of Yi-Fu Tuan, Merleau-Ponty, and Ian Heywood. Such elaborations highlight the importance of the body-environment relationship in the human imagination and its influence on human impulses.

ABSTRACT Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy continues to be misunderstood as a healthcare profession. Advocating for the profession and educating others about the role of Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy within the healthcare system is vital for dispelling myths and increasing awareness to ensure the best possible services are provided. In this mixed-methods study, we explore how Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy professionals advocate for their profession to better serve their clients and how they educate others regarding the role and benefits of Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy. Drawing on principles of Appreciative Inquiry, we conducted surveys (n = 68) with Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy professionals, followed by 19 individual interviews and eight focus groups. Qualitative data were thematically analyzed. Respondents reported several misperceptions of Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy that persisted within their workplace. However, they also described the ways in which they cultivated awareness for Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy, including advancing the profession through structured efforts; daily efforts to promote Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy; educating others about Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy; and making the most of teachable moments. Despite their positive efforts to advocate for the profession, study respondents identified several challenges they faced in advocating for Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy. Recommendations for further development of advocacy efforts are considered.

In this mixed-methods study, we explore how Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy professionals advocate for their profession to better serve their clients and how they educate others regarding the role and benefits of Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy. Drawing on principles of Appreciative Inquiry, we conducted surveys (n = 68) with Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy professionals, followed by 19 individual interviews and eight focus groups. Qualitative data were thematically analyzed. Respondents reported several misperceptions of Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy that persisted within their workplace. However, they also described the ways in which they cultivated awareness for Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy, including advancing the profession through structured efforts; daily efforts to promote Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy; educating others about Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy; and making the most of teachable moments. Despite their positive efforts to advocate for the profession, study respondents identified several challenges they faced in advocating for Therapeutic Recreation/Recreation Therapy. Recommendations for further development of advocacy efforts are considered.","PeriodicalId":45670,"journal":{"name":"World Leisure Journal","volume":"64 1","pages":"508 - 529"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-07-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48695760","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
