Abstract

Business and Management
This paper extends the work motivation, work-leisure, and work-life-balance literatures by developing a conceptual model to demonstrate the interdependence of the decisions that individuals make concerning their allocation of time between work and leisure; how hard they work while at work (work intensity); and how hard they play while at leisure (leisure intensity). We generate a series of testable propositions after proposing a typology of individuals based on their preferences to work more or less hours and more or less intensively and their preferences to take more or less leisure time and use it more or less intensively.
