Job insecurity (JI), an employment stressor, may be considered as one of these life changing events.

Serious leisure, motivation, experience value and behavioral intentions in charity sport event context Yazıcı, Tub; Koçak, M. Settar,; Department of Physical Education and Sports (2020) Charity sport events are valuable in terms of both actively enjoying leisure time, obtaining amazing experiences, and fundraising for a nonprofit organization, thus serving a meaningful purpose.
