Profound transformations in the nature and organization of work are
occurring worldwide, with potentially far reaching social and
economic consequences. The changing nature of global economic and
social environments has led to a complex relationship between work,
leisure, social structure and quality of life, which present a
challenging concern for researchers, educators and policy makers
alike.
For some organizations flexibility of working practices are being
coupled with policies for a balanced work and non-work life,
sometimes in response to new attitudes, values and aspirations of
key workers; but also to enhance creativity, improve company
loyalty, and reduce corporate health bills. Yet many employees are
experiencing long hours, increasing workloads, changing work
practices and job insecurity, all of which can lead to problematic
levels of stress. At the same time, major social differentiation
exists with significant sections of society unable to obtain
employment, as well as significant variations in health and quality
of life.
In "The Future of Work and Leisure" leading experts from a wide
range of disciplines examine these issues by reviewing the primary
areas of concern, linking each to the core practical and
theoretical issues, as well as the implications of these for both
future research and policy decisions. As a result this text will be
provide up-to-date and well-balanced coverage of these key issues,
and will prove a valuable resource to students of psychology,
sociology, social policy, business and leisure studies, as well as
to policy makers in both private and public organizations.
