Abstract
This paper challenges the implicit assumption that work and leisure performances take place within mutually exclusive time frames. Questionnaire data from 122 amateur boatbuilders holding full-time jobs showed that (1) for this population, work and leisure represent psychologically segmented interests. (2) In spite of this, work performances were carried into the time sphere usually allocated for leisure and leisure activities invaded the work place. (3) Both work expansion into leisure time and leisure expansion into work time were positively related to their respective commitments and negatively related to the competing commitment. (4) Nonetheless, the two activity clusters expanded or shrunk independently. These findings are discussed in the context of time and energy conceptualizations.
