Abstract

Historically, the leisure studies field has focused on western meanings of leisure and only recently has it begun to explore other traditions. Thus, the first paper by Zhao and Wu (2022) in this theme issue is a valuable contribution to our understanding of traditional Chinese leisure through an in-depth study of the etymology of Chinese words relevant to leisure as well as the leisure perspectives of Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism. While this first paper in this theme issue draws upon etymology, history, philosophy, and religion, the remaining five papers explore current leisure meanings and mechanisms within the East Asia context through social scientific studies, of which one is qualitative and four are quantitative. The qualitative study by Li and Stodolska (2022) examined the meaning and meaning-making mechanism in Chinese conspicuous outbound tourism to understand how tourists constructed and operationalized conspicuous consumption in order to make sense of their subjective travel experience. Tourists personalized their travel experience to signal values consistent with their cultural assets and social identities in order to attain their desired status. In the next paper, also within the Chinese context, Weifei et al. (2022) studied the role and internal mechanism of corporate leisure welfare in alleviating employee burnout and found a significant mitigating effect of leisure welfare upon burnout. Furthermore, employee satisfaction combined with leisure welfare had a significant negative moderating effect on the mechanism of mitigating burnout. Bizen and Ninomiya (2022), based on volunteering as a leisure activity, investigated the mechanisms between motivation, constraints and constraint negotiation that emerge when a person considered whether to volunteer at a full marathon in Japan. Motivation for volunteering stimulated negotiation that led to volunteer activities, but constraints had no effect on negotiation or participation. Shi et al. (2022) analyzed the behavior characteristics and spatiotemporal distribution of multi-day leisure travel in China by group composition. Groups with children or elderly persons preferred driving over rail travel and they tended to travel for longer periods and visit more cities while groups without children or elderly persons chose high-quality tourism resources. In the final paper, based on a survey in Taiwan, Tsaur and Yen (2022) investigated attitudes to leisure time and leisure time use. The Leisure Time Perspective Scale, that was developed to explore perception of time for leisure participation, was found to have seven dimensions: social orientation, persistence, pace preference fit, polychronic orientation, effective organization, time-use meaning, and structured routine.
东亚休闲意义与机制主题议题导论
历史上,休闲研究领域一直关注西方的休闲意义,直到最近才开始探索其他传统。因此,赵和吴(2022)在本期主题杂志上发表的第一篇论文,通过深入研究与休闲相关的汉语词汇的词源,以及儒家、道教和佛教的休闲观,对我们理解中国传统休闲做出了宝贵贡献。虽然本主题的第一篇论文借鉴了词源学、历史、哲学和宗教,但其余五篇论文通过社会科学研究探讨了东亚背景下当前休闲的意义和机制,其中一篇是定性的,四篇是定量的。Li和Stodolska(2022)的定性研究考察了中国炫耀性出境旅游的意义和意义制造机制,以了解游客如何构建和操作炫耀性消费,从而理解他们的主观旅行体验。旅游者通过个性化的旅游体验来传达与其文化资产和社会身份相一致的价值观,从而达到自己想要的地位。Weifei et al.(2022)在接下来的文章中,同样是在中国背景下,研究了企业休闲福利在缓解员工职业倦怠中的作用和内在机制,发现休闲福利对职业倦怠有显著的缓解作用。此外,员工满意度与休闲福利相结合对职业倦怠的缓解机制有显著的负向调节作用。Bizen和Ninomiya(2022)以志愿服务作为一种休闲活动为基础,研究了在日本,当一个人考虑是否参加全程马拉松时,动机、约束和约束协商之间的机制。志愿活动的动机刺激了谈判,从而导致志愿活动,但约束对谈判或参与没有影响。Shi et al.(2022)通过群体构成分析了中国多日休闲旅游的行为特征和时空分布。有小孩或老人的团体出行偏好自驾游,行程更长,游览城市更多,而没有小孩或老人的团体则选择优质旅游资源。在最后一篇论文中,Tsaur和Yen(2022)基于台湾的一项调查,调查了人们对休闲时间和休闲时间利用的态度。休闲时间视角量表为探讨休闲参与的时间感知而开发,包含社会取向、持久性、速度偏好契合、多时间取向、有效组织、时间使用意义和结构化日常等七个维度。
