Work in the family and employing organization.

Abstract

Issues involved in the attempts to balance roles in employing organizations and family organizations are discussed. The literature on the causal links between work and family relationships, the variables used in such studies, and the models used to describe the findings are presented. Because attempts to balance the roles in the two environments can lead to conflict and stress, organizations have responded with programs such as maternity and parental leave, child and dependent care, alternative work schedules and work stations, and employee assistance and relocation programs. These programs are reviewed with particular emphasis on their benefits and costs.

The Relationship between Principals' Leadership Practices and Teachers' Work-Life Balance

“…Instrumentality is the individual's decision to improve himself in business life to reach satisfaction in his private life (Burke, 1986). According to the instrumentality theory, if an individual is successful in a living space, he can be successful and participatory in another living space (Zedeck and Mosier, 1990).…”
