Similarly, several conceptualizations across different disciplines examine how can coexist. These yielded a rich but fragmented theoretical account work-leisure blending. To address this problem, we provide comprehensive integration multiple literature streams where research has explored Further, develop tripartite dimensional framework designed to elucidate central dimensions (i.e., segmentation-integration, unstructured-structured, independent-interactive) undergirding phenomenon. Using as foundation, then discuss important contextual considerations future directions related (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved).
