The study of the work-leisure relationship has a lengthy history in several disciplines of the social sciences. In addition to its importance to the welfare of individuals and to productivity in the workplace, the study of this relationship contributes to the integration of social and economic processes across what are sometimes considered to be disparate domains of activities.
