“…They also reported that nurses' quality of work life was positively associated with their work engagement. Lin et al (2013a) explored how leisure benefit systems could influence on frontline employees' quality of life while they face work-to-leisure conflicts. This study applied leisure benefit system satisfaction as a moderator between work-to-leisure conflict and quality of life, based on a model and a cross-industry survey of some frontline hospitality employees in hotel/resort, tourist attraction, and airline industries.…”

“…There were a significantly larger number of respondents with undergraduate and graduate degrees in the Russian sample compared with the US sample (χ 2 = 6.702, df = 1, p = .0096), a result also supported by Swerdlow and Cummings' similar findings. The proportion of employees with a university degree was high in the US sample as well (68%) and this fact is consistent with Lin, Wong, & Ho (2013) who surveyed 587 frontline employees of leisure industries in the US and reported 68.5% respondents with professional or college degrees.

Response rates to the academic surveys used in quantitative research are decreasing and have been for several decades among both individuals and organizations. Given this trend, providing doctoral students an opportunity to complete their dissertations in a timely and cost effective manner may necessitate identifying more innovative and relevant ways to collect data while maintaining appropriate research standards and rigor. The case of a research study is presented which describes the data collection process used to survey a hard-to-reach population. It details the use of social media, in this case LinkedIn, to facilitate the distribution of the web-based survey. A roadmap to illustrate how this data collection process unfolded is presented, as well as several "lessons learned" during this journey. An explanation of the considerations that impacted the sampling design is provided. The goal of this case study is to provide researchers, including doctoral students, with realistic expectations and an awareness of the benefits and risks associated with the use of this method of data collection.

“…The study also identified that quality of work life is negatively related with the turnover intentions, whereas the job stress has a strong impact on the attrition rates among 740 healthcare employees in Iran. Jo-Hui Lin, Jehn-Yih Wong and Ching-hua Ho (2013) found that work-leisure conflict is inversely correlated to quality of life, whereas the leisure benefit system contentment is clearly associated with the quality of life. Sonja Drobnic, Barbara Beham and Patrick Prag (2010) life satisfaction improves the quality of life among the respondents working in the nine European countries.…”
