Transfer of practices between life domains Sample Clauses

Transfer of practices between life domains. Places are governed by different logics. The different domains of work and home have different ends and means and therefore, different logics according to which they operate. They reflect and produce different rules and operating conditions, different goals and purposes, different histories and cultures that govern different places at different times in the context of different social and power relations. Xxxxx (2000) suggests that the domains of work, home, and leisure can be governed by different norms, values, and behaviours as well as appreciate that individuals are crossing the borders between them on a daily basis. Whether home-work relations are seen primarily in terms of conflict, which might result in a failure to transfer and the need for compensation, or whether they are understood in terms of positive transfer, home-work balance, and mutual enrichment of work and home roles - all research shows that since individuals are “border crossers” their behaviours at work and their behaviours outside work relate to each other. The transfer of practices between work, home and other spaces is therefore an important factor to consider in efforts to develop understanding of how individuals might be encouraged to adopt pro-environmental behaviour-sets at work, and at home. This section of the report considers evidence from each of the case studies relating to the notion of people transferring practices between domains of work, home, and other spaces as well as their adopting practices that are internally coherent. Analysis of the questionnaire study in four case studies of public organisations and private companies found correlations between low carbon practices at work and at home, suggesting that common factors may influence both practices at home and at work. However the qualitative case study research in these organisations, along with the in-depth ethnographic research in the heavy industry corporations, indicated that workers indicate that the actual transference of practices between the home and work domains was limited. The research did, however, suggest that when practices are transferred, this is most likely to take the form of behaviours adopted in the workplace being carried over to the home domain rather than vice versa. By analysing the nature of the border between work and home and the meanings individuals associate with crossing that border, the research shed light on the barriers to the transference of practices between the two domains.
