Download or read book Work life Conflict and Wellness written by Jessica Lynn McKenzie and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The workplace in the United States is one of the most significant sources of stress for both men and women due to changing dynamics within both the workforce and family life. Several factors contribute to these changes including the increased numbers of women joining the workforce and the growing number of families with dual income earning status. Other factors that have contributed to the difference in the way people work include extended working hours and workers taking on more responsibility while trying to balance family tasks such as caring for children. Coinciding with this are traditional societal norms that dictate women should care for children while men assume the breadwinner role. This ideology is no longer practical for many modern couples. Notably, research has shown young men and women seem to be ready for a change to less traditional roles. As gender-related societal norms change, women are becoming more empowered to make unconventional decisions between motherhood, marriage, and a career. However, the workplace may not be ready for these changes as disparities between men and women in the workplace still exist with women having to work exponentially harder to establish equality. Additionally, women are portrayed differently in the workforce than men making it a significant obstacle for women's career advancement. The drawback may arrive when women who wish to take on multiple roles in both the workplace and in family life are faced with the quandary of assimilating conflicting roles and responsibilities. These efforts may come at a cost with regards to women's health-related outcomes and overall quality of life. For these reasons, it is essential that research consider gender in the ways people negotiate home and work life roles and how these factors limit or enhance a women's family and career aspirations. As stress from these factors continues to grow, it is vital for individuals in the workforce or people pursuing higher education to be equipped to manage their work and family lives for achieving a desirable quality of life. Research on the interface of work and family domains have intensified because of significant consequences from these fundamental changes and the work-family interconnections as it relates to health outcomes (Kossek & Lee, 2017). Using the theoretical model developed by Greenhaus and Beutell (1985), the present study investigated three domains of work-family conflict: time-based conflict, strain-based conflict, and behavior-based conflict and its impact on work and life domains. In addition, links between gender and work-family conflict caused by increased blurring of work and non-work life activities was examined. The present study attempts to draw a comprehensive picture of traditional and evolving gender roles and how it relates to work-life conflict. Self-reported data from 62 graduate students was collected and analyzed using moderated multiple regression analysis. Results indicated a significant relationship between life satisfaction and work-family conflict; greater work-family conflict was associated with lower life satisfaction. In addition, greater work-family conflict was associated with higher psychological distress. Finally, greater life satisfaction was associated with lower psychological distress. Results generally support the notion that processes within life settings such as work, home, and school are associated with work-life satisfaction. The findings from this study did not show evidence that coping strategies moderated the relationship between work-family conflict, psychological distress, and life satisfaction.
Download or read book Stress and Quality of Working Life written by Ana Maria Rossi and published by IAP. This book was released on 2015-10-01 with total page 237 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is an unfortunate reality that many employees experience elevated levels of stress at work. Feeling stressed has impacts beyond mere emotions. For example, a survey of European Union member states found that 28% of employees reported stress?related illness or health issues, and studies in the USA have found that over 25% of employees reported that they are often or very often burned out by their work. Also, not all stress should be or can be eliminated, as many industries and jobs are highly demanding in their nature. Therefore, it is important that employees, employers, clinicians, and researchers endeavor to develop a better understanding of workplace stressors and how employee health and well?being can be improved. This book can help individuals and organizations better appreciate stressors faced by employees. It showcases research by over two dozen authors in twelve chapters, focusing on the interpersonal and occupation?based sources of workplace stress, as well as how to alleviate work stress. Coworkers, supervisors, and others with whom a person works can have a dramatic influence on the degree of stress a worker experiences, and it is often the interpersonal conflict that is unrelated to one’s job that is the most difficult to manage. In addition, the context of a person’s work also influences the degree and type of stressors they encounter at work, and this book examines several occupations and their associated stress. We hope that these findings provide ways for individuals and organizations to enhance the well?being of employees.
