“…Last, given the stressful work environment, school teachers need to put in effort in building necessary personal resources, such as leisure career planning and personal coping strategies. For example, Edwards and Bloland (1990) emphasized the importance of leisure to be incorporated into career planning.

Given the crucial importance of nostalgia in individuals' behavioral and psychological responses, this study measured the effect of leisure nostalgia on work-leisure conflict and subjective well-being. A total of 489 responses were collected from primary and secondary school teachers in Singapore, and this study conducted confirmatory factor analysis and structural equation modeling to analyze the data. Results showed that leisure nostalgia positively affected work-to-leisure conflict and subjective well-being, and work-to-leisure conflict had a negative effect on subjective well-being. However, relationships related to leisure-to-work conflict were shown to be insignificant. The findings of this study advance the theoretical knowledge of nostalgia in the contexts of leisure and occupational health psychology and contribute to school management in developing strategies and approaches for the betterment of teachers' well-being.

“…Our results confirm and reinforce the importance of understanding the role of leisure activity and work engagement for emerging adults, 25 to 30 years of age, with respect to CI. A careful historical assessment of work engagement as well as capacity to experience personal freedom and mastery in leisure activities not only provides a more complete understanding of CI but also provides career counselors with the opportunity to identify strengths in functioning that can be applied to the career decision-making process (Edwards & Boland, 1990). Considering that those with a sense of leisure control and competence were more likely to experience work engagement and career decisiveness, we agree with the recommendation of Betz (2004) that training in leadership skills may improve both self-confidence as well as selfefficacy.…”

To expand the understanding of how leisure and recreational activities can inform career indecision, this research examined the relationship between career indecision, work engagement, and leisure in emerging adults, 25—30 years of age. Independent sample t tests reveal that career indecisive emerging adults scored significantly lower on all three leisure factors on the Leisure Diagnostic Battery, Short Form (LDB-B): Leisure Enjoyment t(62) = 6.997; Leisure Competence t(62) = 8.383; and Leisure Control t(62) = 6.792 (all at p < .001). Career indecisive emerging adults also scored significantly lower on work engagement t(62) = 5.488, p < .001. Work engagement and leisure activity provide an additional lens to understanding emerging adults in the throes of career decision making, some of whom are floundering and in need of professional assistance. Implications for career counselors are discussed.
