Crafting one’s leisure time in response to high job strain
Open accessAbstract
The present study addresses employee leisure crafting as the proactive pursuit and enactment of leisure activities targeted at goal setting, human connection, learning and personal development. Study 1 developed a measure for leisure crafting and provided evidence for its reliability and validity. In study 2, we followed 80 employees over the course of three weeks. We hypothesized that weekly leisure crafting would be more likely during weeks of high job strain (i.e. high quantitative job demands and low job autonomy) combined with sufficient autonomy at home, and during weeks of high activity at home (i.e. high quantitative home demands and high home autonomy). Furthermore, we predicted that weekly leisure crafting would relate positively to weekly satisfaction of basic human needs. Results indicated that leisure crafting was pronounced during weeks with high job strain combined with high home autonomy. However, an active home condition (i.e. high home demands and high home autonomy) was unrelated to leisure crafting. Weekly leisure crafting further related positively to weekly satisfaction of relatedness and autonomy (but not competence) needs. We discuss the theoretical and practical implications of our findings for the job crafting and leisure literatures.

“LC is an agentic behavior that provides a beneficial pathway for individuals to generate and acquire useful resources, such as energy, motivation, self-efficacy, and knowledge, (Bandura, 1997;Hobfoll, 1998;Petrou and Bakker, 2016).”

In the citing paper
“On the one hand, LC allows individuals to stop drawing on the energic resources required for accomplishing work, while also allowing them to learn and grow, thus increasing their learning and energic resources (Petrou and Bakker, 2016;Petrou et al., 2017;Weigelt and Prem, 2021).”

“Goal accomplishment as well as the acquisition of new skills and competencies can be satisfying for individuals, generating a positive mood (Petrou and Bakker, 2016;Preenen et al., 2014).”

“However, research on the nonwork domain alone does not account for the ways in which individuals can behave agentically at work to generate and restore these thriving at work resources (Gerbasi et al., 2015;Geurts and Demerouti, 2003;Petrou and Bakker, 2016;Ren et al., 2022).”

“Prior research on LC has emphasized the important role that it plays in individuals' need satisfaction and meaningmaking (Petrou and Bakker, 2016;Petrou et al., 2017).”

In the citing paper
“This notion of compensation is embedded within the work-nonwork interface and LC literature, which suggests that individuals actively compensate for undesired states (e.g., a lack of thriving at work) in one life domain (i.e., work) via activities in another (i.e., leisure; Geurts and Demerouti, 2003;Kleiber et al., 2002;Petrou and Bakker, 2016).”

In the citing paper
“For LC, thriving at work, and work task focus, self-reports are considered most appropriate because these variables capture individuals' intrapersonal perceptions and experiences (e.g., Paterson et al., 2014;Petrou and Bakker, 2016).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
