| dc.description.abstract | This thesis investigates adult perceptions of play and playfulness. Though it reflects participant experiences in general, the research focuses primarily on how these are understood within the context of work. As attention to play at work from both business and academia increases, how adults understand, instigate, and appreciate play becomes more important. This thesis improves understanding of how adults play as it connects these perceptions with scholarly thought. The research was completed using a literature review and information provided by fourteen participants in survey and interview form. | |
