The Work-Family Interface: An Introduction: Contemporary Family Perspectives (CFP)

Autor Stephen A. Sweet
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 27 mar 2013
This brief and accessible title integrates contemporary scholarly research with compelling vignettes to make it appealing to both teachers and undergraduate students. While focused on the United States, it contains considerable international data that compares and contrasts social policies adopted in Europe and elsewhere. In so doing, it shows both the strengths and the limitations of the approaches used in the U.S.
This title is the only single source that summarizes the origins of work–family concerns, the diversities of needs and experiences, the impact of tensions on the family front, the consequences of tensions for employers, and different types of policies that can make meaningful differences not only in the lives of employees, but also potentially in job quality and national productivity.
