“…Fitzsimmons et al (1985), also observed very few differences between the male and female scores for the LRI. These findings of minor differences in the lifestyles of male and female teachers, employed full-time, concurs with the generalization that women who work in professional areas appear more like their male counterparts (Osipow, 1982;Tinsley & Heesacker, 1984). It is also supportive of the current theorizing and research on women's lives, that is indicating that the family role is still very salient in the lives of women and that in these changing times the work role is taking on increased significance in women's lifestyles.…”

The salience of five life roles for 171 Canadian teachers was investigated by administering the Life Roles Inventory and having the teachers keep a Daily Log for one week to indicate the time spent in each life role. Multivariate analysis was used to determine if the independent variables of sex, age, marital status, parental status would make a significant difference in the lifestyle profile of the teachers. The results were compared against two other major Canadian studies utilizing the Life Roles Inventory. Canadian teachers appear to have two significant life roles: work and home and family. Work is ranked first in terms of the temporal dimension whereas home and family is more significant in terms of the teachers' emotional involvement. This profile of salient life roles was consistent across all three Canadian studies for both males and females. Few significant differences were found in the lifestyle profiles of teachers categorized according to personal characteristics. Implications for career counselling using a life roles model are discussed.

“…Thirdly, Tinsley and Heesacker (1983) suggest that theoretical models and research results in this field can become outdated within 10 years because of changes in the workplace such as the role of women (Loscocco & Roschelle 1991), and the introduction of flexible working arrangements (Dalton & Mesch 1990). The present research however attempts to develop an up to date contemporary QoWL measure which is easy for healthcare organizations to use.…”

“…Variables relating to organizational change appear to be a material omission by both Bunge (1987) and Schneider (1991) given the mean importance scores recorded for this aspect of work (Table 6). This may be explained by the fact that large-scale change within the library sector has increased significantly since Bunge (1987) and Schneider (1991) conducted their work and therefore supports the views of Tinsley and Heesacker (1984), who suggest that theoretical models in the field of employee experience can become outdated within 10 years because of changes in the workplace.…”

This study aimed to develop and pilot a questionnaire to determine the ways in which working in a UK public library system can impact the well-being of those deployed in the sector. The methodological framework was based on an approach used to evaluate the well-being of patients in a clinical setting. Based on the responses of 466 employees, the results identified eight dimensions of library worker well-being; organizational, advancement, job design aspects, physical health, psychological health, interpersonal relationships, workload and facilities. Analyses indicated that organizational aspects most impaired well-being and longer-serving employees were worst affected. The findings offer a new, evidence-based perspective on the well-being issues that public library workers perceive to be most important and challenge earlier claims regarding stress and burnout. Also considered is the relevance of employer-sponsored wellness programmes where improvement in organizational performance is the prime reason behind provision.
