- W2288199776 abstract "This study was undertaken with the purposes of exploring meanings of leisure prevalent amongst career downshifters and to better understand changes in their leisure consequential to their career downshift. Using this information an initial evaluation of whether downshifting can help regain the essence of leisure was made.Twenty-seven participants were purposively selected and interviewed in an open-ended question format, either in person or over the telephone. They had varying degrees of experience of downshifting, came from and went to a multitude of different careers, and lived across the United States. They were asked questions about what leisure meant to them, and how leisure had transformed since their career change. These interviews were recorded, transcribed and read multiple times, to identify common patterns and themes and to develop answers to the research questions.The results affirmed that leisure is a subjective word that contains numerous meanings for different people. There is considerable overlap between the general meanings of leisure that evolved from this set of participants and leisure meanings that have been described by leisure researchers previously, out of a downshifting context. A variety of transformations in leisure associated with downshifting emerged. Overall downshifting was instrumental in stimulating a whole spectrum of changes in the value of leisure. The data collected for this study suggests that downshifters partially regain the essence of leisure, according to the criteria set out by Juniu (2000). Discussion of pre and post-downshift leisure experiences confirmed Linder’s (1970) theory that harried leisure detracts satisfaction from the overall experience of leisure.Continued research investigating transformations in leisure, work/leisure values, and lifestyles associated with downshifting is recommended. It will provide insight into personal, family and health costs related to extreme jobs / workaholism, identify policy issues for bodies devoted to ensuring safe and healthy work environments, and help in identifying pertinent issues designed to measure development." @default.
