The Organizational Basis Of Leisure Participation: A Motivational Exploration

Leisure participation is motivated by a variety of social conditions--many of them organizational in character. The Organizational Basis of Leisure Participation pulls together relevant theory and research about leisure organizations into a common framework. This framework consists of the concept of social organization, the multitude of reasons why it is important for understanding leisure participation, the way free time is organized as serious and casual leisure, and the way these relate to everyday and optimal leisure lifestyles. This book presents the range of collectives that add social and psychological structure to leisure life from dyads, small groups, and social networks through larger organizations, notably tribes, social worlds and social movements.Robert A.
