초록
본 연구는 일을 여가보다 우선하는 전반적인 경향성에도 불구하고, 때에 따라 여가를 먼저 즐길 줄 아는 사람들과 관련 있는 심리적 특성이 무엇인지를 확인하기 위해 이루어졌다. 그리고 다양한 선행연구에 기초하여 주관적 행복 수준이 여가를 일보다 우선하는 선택과 관련이 있을 것이라고 가정하였다. 이를 확인하기 위해 216명의 직장인들을 대상으로 얼마나 행복한지, 최근 3개월 내에 일보다 여가를 우선한 경험이 있는지, 그 경험에 함께한 사람이 있었는지, 그리고 현재 일-여가 비율은 어느 정도 인지에 대한 온라인 설문을 실시하였다. 결과적으로 일보다 여가를 우선해 본 경험이 있다고 응답한 85명이 나머지 131명보다 행복 수준이 높고 일-여가 불균형이 낮음을 관찰하였다. 아울러 일보다 여가를 먼저 선택한 85명 중 54명에게서 여가 우선 선택에 함께 한 사람이 있음을 관찰하면서 여가 우선 선택과 여가를 함께 즐길 사람의 존재 사이에 밀접한 연관성이 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 정리하면, 여가를 먼저 즐길 줄 아는 사람들은 그렇지 않은 사람들보다 더 행복했고, 함께 여가를 즐길 사람이 있었다. 본 연구는 행복의 나선형 상승, 일-여가 균형, 좋은 관계와 여가 활용, 경제력 수준보다 행복 수준이 낮은 국가의 특성 등에 시사점을 준다.
Abstract
The objective of the present study is to examine the psychological characteristics of individuals who sometimes choose to put leisure activities first, despite a general tendency to prioritize work over leisure. Based on existing research, it may be assumed that an individual’s level of subjective happiness is related to his or her decision to prioritize leisure over work. To validate this hypothesis, an online survey was conducted among 216 office workers with regard to their overall happiness, their experience with prioritizing leisure over work within the past three months, the individual(s) with whom they spent leisure time, if any, and their work-to-leisure ratio. Results showed that 85 respondents who confirmed an experience of prioritizing leisure over work revealed that those individuals maintained a higher level of happiness and a lower level of work-leisure imbalance than the remaining 131 respondents. In addition, among the same 85 respondents, 54 spent leisure time together with others, which implies a connection between leisure priorities and sharing leisure time with others. In summary, individuals who sometimes prioritized leisure over work were happier than those who did not, and they also tended to spend leisure time with others. Results of the present study are significant because they clarify the inter-connectedness of happiness, work-leisure balance, maintenance of good relationships and leisure time, and the characteristics and priorities of countries in which the level of happiness is higher than the level of economic power.
