This article proposes a Half-shift model to simultaneously achieve the mutually reinforcing goals of creative work and social contribution. Science communicators are closely examined as one of the possible conduits to implement this model. Intensifying global competition requires work places and social settings to be more efficient and less flexible, making it difficult for professionals to gain satisfaction from being creative and contributing to society through their paid work. After a closer examination, the author proposes a Half-shift model as a new way to achieve a more balanced work environment. The Half-shift model looks at combining paid work and unpaid work in conterminous areas. The research shows that the keys for promoting this model are changes in work rules and professionals' personal motivation for work. It is hoped that this article provides a conceptual framework for the development of a Half-shift model, and contributes to its implementation.

Community development movements, which emerged in Japan in the 1980, are believed to have contributed to regional rejuvenation through the restructuring of communities as well as through economic development. The movements originally developed under administrative leadership, however the nature of regional development has changed drastically due to the decentralization of Japan's political system and socio-economic changes in Japan's rural society. Changes were further accelerated by the rise of nonprofit activities in the late 1990s. This article tries to analyze the types of experts involved in these movements. Three typical types of experts are found in community development, and their development stages are described. To prevent over-involvement by such experts, the author proposes the idea of flexible expertise and limited liability experts based on an intensive review of literature and an analysis of cases.
