A Multidimensional Measurement of Work-Leisure Conflict

How the need for “leisure benefit systems” as a “resource passageways” moderates the effect of work-leisure conflict on job burnout and intention to leave: A study in the hotel industry in Quebec

“…Thus leisure time is increasingly competing with work domains and it is all the more important to pursue research on WLC. Indeed, theoretical and empirical research in the field of work and leisure has not been numerous (Tsaur et al, 2012) and studies on WLC are also sparse (Lin et al, 2014). In our literature review on WLC, we found only six articles published in academic journals (Lin et al, 2013(Lin et al, , 2014Staines & O'Connor, 1980;Tsaur et al, 2012;Wong & Lin, 2007;Zhao & Rashid, 2010).…”

“…Therefore, most studies have been interested in the coping effect of leisure on work (e.g., Iwasaki, 2003). However, as reported by Tsaur et al (2012), few studies have focused on the WLC. More WLC causes lower satisfaction at work and lower quality of life (Lin et al, 2013) more job burnout and lower wellbeing (Lin et al, 2014).…”

“…It is a sector where staff turnover is high, since factors such stress at work and difficult working conditions lead employees to consider leaving their work (Burke, 2003;Tsaur, Liang, & Hsu, 2012, Sharma, Verma, Verma, & Malhotra, 2010. This makes it difficult to attract and retain workers, as employment in the hospitality industry is characterized by poor conditions, low pay, a high percentage of workers drawn from socially disadvantaged groups, poor status, absence of professionalism (MarcoeLajara & ÚbedaeGarcía, 2013).…”

A Study on the Relationship between Work-Family Conflicts and the Job Satisfaction of Tour Leaders

“…In other words, when family roles which do not belong to the range of work roles are influenced by the job, it may lead to the reduction in job satisfaction. Some work arrangements, such as shift work, overtime, and working on holidays can reduce or deprive an individual's family time or deprive them of the opportunity to be with their family (Tsaur, Liang, & Hsu, 2012). As a consequence, employees may feel dissatisfied with their work because aspects of their work factor make it impossible for them to fulfill their familial demands.…”

“…when the family interferes with the work, it will also reduce the employee's job satisfaction. When an individual spends more time and effort in his family role, it will definitely reduce the time and effort he invests in his work (Tsaur et al, 2012). Therefore, an individual may not be able to obtain the expected feedbacks and respect from his work, and will gradually become dissatisfied with his job.…”
