dc.description.abstractPurpose: The purpose of this research is to study the effect of expenditures of leisure on subjective wellbeing among the middle class of Lebanese citizens. Design/Methodology: This quantitative descriptive study relied on the Bottom-Up Theory and contributed to the theoretical model of Newman et. al by adding the expenditures on leisure aspect to this model. To test the new model, I collected survey data from 253 respondents who belonged to International Committee of the Red Cross, four schools and three banks. Data were processed in SPSS on 200 responses that belongs to our targeted income range. Findings: Findings show that there is a positive relationship between expenditures on leisure as an independent variable and Subjective Well-being as a dependent variable among the middle class in Lebanon. Data analysis shows that the higher the amount spent on leisure activities, the higher is the score of Subjective Well-being. Results also show that expenditures on leisure contribute positively positive feelings and satisfaction. The study shows that spending more time outside work will increase subjective wellbeing. The findings also show that social and psychological mechanism (detachment and recovery and autonomy) have a positive effect on the relationship between expenditure on leisure and Subjective Well-being. Implications: This study contributed to the bottom up theory by adding the expenditure on leisure aspect. And shows with statistically based evidence that the increase of expenditures on leisure will increase Subjective Well-being score of individuals.
