Work-Life Integration: International Perspectives on the Balancing of Multiple Roles

Editat de P. Blyton, B. Blunsdon, K. Reed, Kenneth A. Loparo
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 17 ian 2006
The question of work-life balance and the difficulties of managing multiple roles is attracting considerable interest. This international collection broadens the focus of these debates and presents recent research findings that will further stimulate theoretical development and empirical studies. While much previous research has focused on the challenges faced by working mothers, the research presented in this collection introduces perspectives that have not been widely included in previous work in the field, such as the voice of children, the challenges that students face, the role of both employers and unions and how different occupational groups experience work-life balancing strategies.
