DOWNLOAD EBOOKThe author is a proud sponsor of the 2020 SAGE Keith Roberts Teaching Innovations Award—enabling graduate students and early career faculty to attend the annual ASA pre-conference teaching and learning workshop. This brief and accessible title integrates contemporary scholarly research with compelling vignettes to make it appealing to both instructors and undergraduate audiences. While focused on the United States in respect to its target audience and emphasis, 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.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKOrganizations are adopting changes in their work management for getting established in this competitive world. More flexibility options are offered by keen and smart employers in order to reduce unwanted and underutilized time, energy and space. As massive benefits are generated as a result of work place flexibility, employees avail this option provided to them. There are many flexible work arrangements provided by employers and the types offered may vary from organizations to organizations. The predominant reason for employees to choose flexibility as cited by many researchers is to balance their work and family life. Many of the business giants now believe that the traditional 9-5 working hours has now weeded out of the box, and that new ways of scheduling work is essential. It was revealed from many studies that the adoption of flexible working arrangements by employees has grown substantially for the past few years. While employees provide this option for reasons like increased productivity, job satisfaction and better recruitment and retention, employees view it as a tool to fulfil their work and family responsibilities. Work and Family are two closely linked terms for an individual. Work-Family Interface is a concept which explains about Work-Family Conflict and Work-Family Enrichment. Work-Family Conflict and Work-Family Enrichment are again bidirectional. While Work-Family Conflict describes how work interferes with family and vice versa, Work-family Enrichment says how work can prosper family and vice versa. Work-family conflict is said to occur when an individual faces difficulty in participating in work and family due to incompatible demands from both the roles. High levels of work-family conflict can lead to physical and mental health problems and low job performance. Work family enrichment occurs when participation in one role leverages the quality in the other role. It can lead to job satisfaction, organizational commitment and life satisfaction.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKThis volume contains a collection of articles that examines workplace flexibility, work-family conflict, and workers' increasing lack of leisure time and how it pertains to long-term U.S. national stability. The contributors argue that current workplaces are not meeting the needs of today's workers, and the lack of workplace flexibility is having huge human capital costs that are affecting every sector of society. They explore how flexibility, despite having fixed costs, can be an effective tool for attracting and retaining employees and increasing productivity -- the key being to make the workplace flexible in ways that are profitable for employers and also engage workers to feel more satisfied and committed to their jobs.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKBased on a sweeping, ten country study, The Work-Family Interface in Global Context comprises the most comprehensive and rigorous cross-cultural study of the work-family interface to date. Just as work-family conflict is associated with negative consequences for workers, organizations, and societies, so too can the work and family domains interact positively to enhance or enrich one another. Drawing on qualitative, quantitative, and policy-based data, chapters in this collection explore the influence of culture on the work-family interface in order to help researchers and managers understand the applicability of work-family models in a variety of contexts and further conceptualize work-family interactions through the development of a more universal knowledge.
