Occupational devotion is explored as a deep attachment to fulfilling work, where achievement and enjoyment intertwine, blurring the lines between work and leisure. The book delves into the factors that draw individuals to such meaningful work, highlighting the intrinsic rewards and values they derive. Stebbins contextualizes this devotion within four social frameworks—history, religion, work, and leisure—and further examines its nuances through the lenses of gender, social class, and social character, offering a comprehensive understanding of this phenomenon.
