There is a growing realization in the United States that excessive work demands interferes with physical and mental health, personal happiness, or intimate and social relationships. For example, your vacations might be spent worrying about what’s going on back at work. If you’re married, your spouse complains that you spend too much time at the office and not enough with your family. If you’re single, chances are you really don’t have time for a social life. Many people have been rebelling against the work ethic, (2) claiming that when a job is so important, personal relationships suffer and relaxation becomes secondary. Consequently there has been a shift in values, with more emphasis being given to personal relationships and no work activities. Leisure time provides opportunities to find personal satisfaction and freedom from the routine of work. Increased leisure time in the United States has not changed the idea that work and play are distinct activities. This distinction is clear-cut; there are “work-hour” and “after-work-hour”. There is belief that it is desirable to work hard and play hard and undesirable to combine the two. In many offices, stores, and factories socializing among employees is discouraged. (3)An employee under pressure at work often cannot afford to respond to social calls and visits. However, the amount of personal contact mainly depends on the nature of the work. There may be more social interaction between teachers in a school than between scientists doing independent research. Nevertheless, work and play are usually perceived and maintained as separate activities.
