Job stress and well-being of female employees in hospitality: The role of regulatory leisure coping styles

The job stress and coping behavior of female employees has become a key issue in the hospitality industry. This study investigates the moderating role of regulatory leisure coping styles on the effect of job stress on female employees’ well-being. Specifically, this study extends Patry et al.’s (2007) findings to further confirm the direct and moderating role of regulatory leisure coping styles in the relationship between job stress and well-being. Data were collected from the female employees of 22 tourist hotels in Taiwan. The results showed that the Planned-Breather Leisure Coping Style (PBLCS) was positively and significantly associated with well-being, whereas the Avoidant Leisure Coping Style (ALCS) had a negative and significant effect on it. In addition, the results also revealed that the PBLCS plays a buffering role, but that the ALCS plays an amplifying role. Based on these findings, the implications and research suggestions are then discussed.     

论休闲之“成为人”的价值意蕴

“成为人”是休闲研究中的一个重要的概念,也是一个永恒的话题.休闲的价值主要表现为休闲的个体价值:使人“成为人”与休闲的社会价值;使人成为“完整的人”两个方面.休闲使人“成为人”的价值意蕴主要体现在休闲使人“成为人”的生存论基础是以“存在”与“成为”为目标的存在的自由;休闲使人“成为人”的本体论奠基是休闲自由使人自由地成长,使人“成为”人,使人全面地恢复活力,使人完整地重新发现生活的意义;休闲使人“成为人”的实践途径是体验“成人”.休闲之“成为人”的价值意蕴的现实指向是当今社会的价值诉求,主要表现在“成为人”对于提高我国民族的素养和促进当今社会发展的意义.     

关于"经济发展促进休闲质量提升"一般认识的实证研究——以经济发达的广东省为例

本文以经济发达的广东省为例,对其居民休闲生活的以下方面进行了研究:居民对休闲的认识;居民对闲暇时间的利用,闲暇时间的活动参与;居民对当前休闲生活的评价;影响其休闲生活的障碍;居民对未来休闲生活的期望。研究采用问卷方式,调查广东省居民闲暇时间内的生活状况,发现尽管广东省是中国目前经济最发达的省份之一,但是居民的休闲生活并没有得到很好的改善,其质量并没有随着国民经济的发展而提升。居民对现时的休闲生活并不感到满意,并期望其休闲生活质量得到很大提高。     

休闲活动与主观幸福感

乡村旅游主题下休闲农业发展研究——以山西省100个3 A级乡村旅游示范村为例

以山西省首批100个3A级乡村旅游示范村为研究对象,运用最近邻指数、地理集中指数、核密度分析等空间分析方法及建立乡村旅游资源分类体系,对其空间结构和分类特征进行测度。结果表明:样本点空间分布为集聚型,分布高密度区域主要在山西省中东部、东南部和南部,北部和西部分布密度较低。山西省休闲旅游资源丰富,为乡村旅游提供了大量资源,五种乡村发展类型中,特色文化型村庄占比最大,休闲农庄和城郊发展型村庄相对较少。最后根据研究结果提出相关建议。

Understanding the motivation of museums,galleries and cultural exhibition visits – evidence from Taiwan internet use types

Are museums, galleries and cultural institutions (MGC) educational institutions or accommodations of leisure market? The aim of the present study is to understand why people visit MGCs through analysing a potential link between internet use types and MGC visits. Internet use is categorized into three types: independent activities, recreational activities and social activities. The empirical results indicate that internet use for recreational activities is negatively related to MGC visits, while internet use for independent activities is positively related to MGC visits. The findings suggest that MGCs are expected to provide visitors with educational experience rather than with social or recreational experience.     

Measuring Serious Leisure in Chess: Model Confirmation and Method Bias

The serious leisure inventory and measure (SLIM) was tested with 348 chess players to confirm the factors, assess the effects of method bias, and propose a set of the best-performing items for the 18 factor SLIM. The 54-item SLIM demonstrated acceptable fit and reliability values. The effect of method bias was evidenced in the sample and explained one-third of the variance. Inspection of factor loadings, when controlling for method bias, yielded one best-performing item per factor. Findings indicate method bias continues to be problematic for self-report measures such as the SLIM.
