Description
In today's 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, & child. Increasingly demands of
the workplace such as early or late hours, travel, commute, relocation, etc. conflict with the needs of being a parent. At the same time,
it is through work that people increasingly define their identity and self-worth, and which provides the opportunity for personal growth,
interaction with friends and colleagues, and which provides the income and benefits on which the family subsists. 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.
The research in this area has been widely scattered in journals in psychology, family
studies, business, sociology, health, and economics, and presented in diverse conferences (e.g., APA, SIOP, Academy of Management). It
is difficult for experts in the field to keep up with everything they need to know, with the information dispersed. This Handbook will
fill this gap by synthesizing theory, research, policy, and workplace practice/organizational policy issues in one place.
The book
will be useful as a reference for researchers in the area, as a guide to practitioners and policy makers, and as a resource for teaching
in both undergraduate and graduate courses.
Audience
Researchers and academics in social and organizational psychology, family science, sociology, and business/management. American Psychological
Association division 14-Industrial & Organizational Psych and division 43-Family Psychology members.
