“…The patients at highest risk for death appear to be those with an organic brain disease who have poor interpersonal relationships, are socially isolated, are men, are in poor physical health, and are more self-derogatory with lower morale and less life satisfaction (1,5,(16)(17)(18)(19). Mortality is also increased if the institutionalized person is removed from the support of relatives and moved to restricted quarters, with an absence of privacy, and conflicts with housemates (20). Patients admitted to psychiatric facilities often share many of these high-risk characteristics.…”

Analysis of cause-specific death rates among 750 elderly psychiatric inpatients revealed a markedly increased risk of death from pneumonia and a lesser but still substantial risk of death from cardiovascular disorders during the first year of hospitalization. Although the risks of cardiovascular death are considerably less among longer-stay patients, the pneumonia risks remain high. This suggests differing preventive strategies. To help prevent cardiovascular deaths, more attention should be paid to avoiding transfer trauma and its attendant stress. To help prevent pneumonia deaths, high priority should be given to an aggressive program of immunization, adequate nutrition, reduction of hospital overcrowding, and recognition of early pneumonia symptoms.

“…However, they also assert that this relationship may be changing as the career orientations of women become more similar to those of men. Buell and Breslow (1960) and Zohman (1973) ity suffers more coronary heart disease than does the type B personality. Chan (1977) implies that persons with an external locus of control would manifest more adverse health reactions to stress than would those with an internal loci of control.…”

Academy of Management is collaborating with JSTOR to digitize, preserve and extend access to The Academy of Management Review.A basic path analytic model of stressor-health relationships is formulated from a multidisciplinary literature base. Work, nonwork, and individual difference variables act as exogenous stressors influencing endogenous job and life satisfaction variables, which are then posited to influence health variables. Inability to leave is added to the model as a means of more completely integrating a research framework investigating work and nonwork influences on health.In 1974 House wrote: "The analysis of work and nonwork environmental causes of mental and physical health remains fragmentary, scattered, and theoretically unintegrated, due both to the disciplinary diversity of researchers and the nebulous status of mental and physical health as a concept or theoretical framework" (1974, p. 12). One year later, Caplan, Cobb, French, Van Harrison, and Pinneau wrote: "Literature on stress and health shows widespread confusion and disagreement about the types of variables which should be studied, how they should be defined, and the theoretical models for relating them" (1975, p. 3). And in 1980 Jamal and Mitchell were still led to suggest "that in predicting mental health adequate attention should be given to work-related variables. Future investigations of mental health should focus on the interaction of different types of variables in work and nonwork environments" (1980, p. 93).Taken together, the prior statements call for an interdisciplinary approach to developing a comprehensive model of work and nonwork influences on mental and phsycial health. It is the premise of the present authors that scholars have yet to answer this call for knowledge. Accordingly, this paper examines a convergence in the existing literatures on health, occupational stress, and organizational withdrawal that offers promising directions to the concerned researcher. Specifically, the objectives of the paper are: (1) to

“…Research on imbalance between work and family roles has shown that work-family role conflict is associated with life dissatisfaction (e.g., Bedeian et al 1988;Collins and Killough 1989;Edwards and Rothbard 2000;French and Caplan 1973;Fu and Shaffer 2001;Holaham and Gilbert 1979;Lewis and Cooper 1987;Parasuraman et al 1992;Sekaran 1986;Sturges and Guest 2004;Wiley 1987) as well as low martial and family satisfaction and symptoms of low mental and physical wellbeing (e.g., Bedeian et al 1988;Buell and Breslow 1960;Caplan et al 1975;French and Caplan 1973;Parasuraman et al 1992;Sekaran 1986;Steffy and Ashbaugh 1986;Wiley 1987;Zohman 1973). The family-work conflict occurs when one domain consumes resources needed for another domain.…”

Martin Seligman, in his very popular book Authentic Happiness (Seligman 2002), argued that authentic happiness is derived from three major sets of experiences in life, namely experiencing pleasantness regularly (the pleasant life), experiencing a high level of engagement in satisfying activities (the engaged life), and experiencing a sense of connectedness to a greater whole (the meaningful life). In this chapter, we maintain that balance in life contributes significantly to subjective well-being. Balance contributes to subjective well-being because of the satisfaction limit that people can derive from a single life domain. People have to be involved in multiple domains to satisfy the full spectrum of human development needs. Different life domains tend to focus on different human developmental needs. More specifically, balance contributes to subjective well-being because subjective well-being can only be attained when both survival and growth needs are met. High levels of subjective well-being cannot be attained with satisfaction of basic needs or growth needs alone. Both needs have to be met to induce subjective well-being.
