Handbook of Work-Family Integration

In industrialized societies, the majority of parents work full time while caring for and raising their children and managing household upkeep, trying to keep a precarious balance of fulfilling multiple roles as parent, worker, friend, and child. This book synthesizes theory, research, policy, and workplace practice/organizational policy issues.

Klappentext

The interface between work and family is an area of increasing research, in terms of understanding stress, job burn out, self-esteem, gender roles, parenting behaviors, and how each facet affects the others. This book is useful as a reference for researchers in the area, and as a guide to practitioners and policy makers.
