All Work and No Play Makes Jack a Dull Leader? Impact Evaluation with Leisure Activities and Management Performance for the School Leaders - Innovative Management in Information and Production - page 86

stressed due to the demanding nature of their jobs. Engaging in leisure activities
can alleviate this stress and promote well-being, but the time and choice of leisure
activity are very important.
“After dinner sit a while, after supper walk a mile.” In the twenty-first century,
people can easily get angry and anxious and lose patience and emotional control.
However, unavoidably, all kinds of individuals and social problems, such as self-
harm, violence, drugs, and spiritual diseases with the environment of persons, have
made the discipline and counseling faced with new tests and challenges repeatedly.
We should learn how to manage pressure, and that participating in leisure activities
is good for our health. Taking leisure activity can duly relieve pressure and mentally
grasp healthy life. Suitable leisure activities are helpful for physical and mental
health. Taking challenges and breaking through difficulties are best evidence.
In such a globalized era that accompanied with dramatically competitive waves,
the job of a school leader is becoming increasingly more stressful. Engaging in
leisure activities can receive many positive benefits; the time and choice of leisure
activity are very important. School leaders' leisure activities relate directly to many
of the issues affecting them, such as mental, health, and performance. They are
increasingly seeking new ways to spend their free time, out of both necessity and
interest. Business, routine duties, and pressure from supervisors and leaders all
contribute to mounting pressure and work-related fatigue.
When leaders have insufficient time but have to take on heavy workloads, they
almost cannot help blurting out “I can't take it anymore!” The sudden increased
workload and series of unsolved problems over a short period often cause physical
and mental illnesses for school leaders. Leisure time holds many opportunities that
can help us in the short and long term. How we use this leisure time is important;
we must fill it with experiences that we can take advantage of.
Herrera, Herrera-Viedma (2000) presented the steps of linguistic decision anal-
ysis under linguistic information. They suggest that there are certain degrees
of possibilities to express linguistics based on fuzzy numbers, but it should be
reconsidered if the response will produce the same fuzzy number. Liu and Song
( 2001 ) developed one type of measurement whose linguistic is similar to semantic
proximity. Based on the similarity of linguistic concept, they presented a formula
of fuzzy association degree. They used the information of botany as an example
to illustrate and analyze the categorical similarity of rare plants in the ecology.
Carlsson and Fuller ( 2000a , b ) discussed many concepts about the computation of
fuzzy linguistic and these concepts were worthy to broadcast.
In this chapter, we use the concept of fuzzy statistics to explore and analyze
school leaders' leisure activities that indicators attempt to understand to relieve
their pressure. We'll try to establish the school leaders' fuzzy statistical indicators
of leisure activities. Major objectives of this research are stated as follows: (1) to
understand the relevant factors with leisure activities of school leaders, (2) to utilize
fuzzy theory to establish leisure indicators of school leaders, and (3) to explore the
leisure activity index and leisure activity factors of school leaders.
