Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A satisfactory and healthy integration of work with other life domains is one of the key challenges of modern society. Work-life balance and work-life integration have become focal points of today’s human resource management practice and theory. Professionals who have been described as “extreme workers” regarding their work hours and engagement are under particular pressure to balance work and ”the rest of life”. This collection maps the increasingly extensive discussion of work-life issues for professionals and discusses key aspects in depth. What is work-life integration? What are the specific challenges for professionals? How do they manage their blurred work-life boundaries? How can companies intervene? Internationally leading authors discuss antecedents and individual and organizational outcomes of work-life integration, gender-specific perspectives and challenges as well as the use and usefulness of corporate work-life balance initiatives. In five sections distinguished researchers from across the world present experiences and research findings to provide a compendium of academic and applied research on the work-life integration of professionals. Cutting-edge research and novel theoretical perspectives make this collection a source of knowledge and inspiration for academic and business audiences interested in work-life integration issues in general and in the case of professionals in particular.

Download or read book Aging and Cognition written by Hayden B. Bosworth and published by American Psychological Association (APA). This book was released on 2009 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "As the world's population ages, the study of aging and its effects on cognition becomes increasingly important. Aging and Cognition: Research Methodologies and Empirical Advances takes an interdisciplinary look at cognitive aginghow it happens and how to study it. The first part of the book explores methods for measuring cognitive change, including how to study cohort effects. How can we account for differences in cognitive performance from one cohort to another? Should we assume factor invariance across cohorts or time? These issues are treated in the context of new and existing empirical research, making the discussion of methodological issues more concrete and accessible. The second part of the book explores the social and psychological factors associated with cognitive aging. For example, to what extent do socioeconomic status, optimism, and personal sense of control affect aging? Is the controversial "use it or lose it" theory of cognition valid? Finally, the concluding section explores how to use research findings to improve the everyday functioning of adults-- a challenging task because everyday functioning relies on complex cognitive tasks and most cognitive research measures only basic cognitive tasks. The chapter in this final section uses medication adherence as an example of deriving real-world solutions from cognitive research results. With its emphasis on social and contextual factors that influence aging, this book showcases both substantive and methodological developments in the field. It will be useful to everyone who studies aging and cognition"--Jacket. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2009 APA, all rights reserved).
