Integrating Work and Consumption: Cross-Domain Transfer of Skill and Affect

Steven D. Silver

Chapter 6 in Networked Consumers, 2012, pp 105-136 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract In this chapter, I will follow upon the casual observations in the preface to more formally propose processes that integrate work and consumption. As will be developed in both analysis and empirical studies, the integrating processes will be in skill and affect as they relate to productivity. If, as many suggest, the skills that one acquires and uses at work become available for use in consumption activities, and vice versa, this can be a basis for the interdependency of these domains and cross-domain transfer. Although affect has clear situational dependencies, there is a basis to expect there is cross-domain transfer as in satisfaction judgments that have affective components (e.g. Sonnentag 2003). Whereas the transfer of skill across domains generally can be expected to be positive, the transfer of affect is not sign definite.
