The Research in Careers series is designed in five volumes to provide scholars a unique forum to examine careers issues in today's changing, global workplace. What makes this series unique is that the volumes are connected by the use of Mainiero and Sullivan's (2006) Kaleidoscope Career Model (KCM) as the organizing framework and the theme underlying the volumes. In this volume, Striving for Balance, we consider how individuals seek a healthy alignment between work and nonwork. In addition to building upon the established literature on work/family conflict, the chapters in this volume also examine the reciprocal positive influences between work and nonwork, considering such issues as balancing work with commitments to others, including spouse/partner, children, elderly relatives, friends, and the community. Chapters 1 and 2 of this volume focus on macro?issues surrounding work/nonwork balance, specifically studying the effectiveness of organizational policies. In Chapter 1, Westring, Kossek, Pichler and Ryan explore if there is a gap between an organization's adoption of work/nonwork policies and its offering of a supportive environment for the employees' use of such policies. In Chapter 2, Purohit, Simmers, Sullivan and Baugh draw from social exchange theory and the compensation literature to examine how employees' satisfaction with their organization's discretionary (i.e., not legally required) support initiatives influences their work?related attitudes and personal well?being. Chapters 3 and 4 examine balance from a micro perspective, focusing on generational differences in balance as well as how individuals' reactions to work?nonwork conflicts influence career outcomes. In Chapter 3, Stawiski, Gentry and Baranik study balance using the lens of generational differences, exploring the relationship between work?life balance and promotability for members of the Baby Boom generation and Gen X. In Chapter 4, Boyd, Keeney, Sinha and Ryan discuss their qualitative analysis of how 1,359 university alumni's reactions to work?life conflict events shaped their career choices, including entry, participation, and attrition decisions. Their approach offers a different lens to examine work?life conflict. Chapters 5 and 6 provide two perspectives on where scholars should focus their future research efforts in studying work/nonwork balance. In Chapter 5, van Emmerik, Bakker, Westman and Peeters provide a conceptual examination of the processes that affect work?family conflict, family?work conflict, and the overall resulting work/nonwork balance or imbalance. In Chapter 6, Bataille offers a multi?dimensional definition of work?family balance and develops a framework, which recognizes the dominant dimensions of work-family balance.

Time management is a common problem faced by most of us. Often times, when you are swarmed with multiple tasks at once, it becomes extremely difficult to identify which ones you must complete first. Too often, people eat up what is supposed to be their free time to be able to accomplish all pending tasks in time.

The Pitfalls of Multitasking in Business and Society This fast paced era is characterized by a constant influx of information in the form of Email, Facebook, Twitter Alerts, etc. Our social and professional lives have become so demanding that sometimes multitasking seems like the only solution to the multitude of problems and complications that characterize our lives. However, according to science, this is merely a deception because multitasking does not help us accomplish anything out of the ordinary. I was a so called "multitasker" at one time, until one day I discovered that multitasking really did not exist. I personally found that it was conjured up by industrial gurus and consultants in an effort to increase productivity using less people. Organizations thought it would be better to have one person do several tasks simultaneously. This philosophy led to "downsizing," which was in reality the sacking of several employees, decreased budgets and overall more responsibilities. It worked fairly well for a one-person business and very small business, but could not succeed in major companies and organizations where profit margins increased but productivity and quality decreased. People that were left on the job, after the huge downsizing, simply did have more work to do, thus they had to start what became popularly known as, multitasking . My personal definition of this word is: "the Perception of doing more than two things in one single instance of time." This happened all across the industrial board and quality has definitively suffered. Its overall effects of diminishing quality are yet to surface, but they will Why You Should Stop According to different scientific studies, we do not possess the ability to carry out different tasks that require a conscious effort on our part. If we engage in two or more conscious activities at the same time then the accuracy and quality of our work will be affected. Therefore, due to our inherent limitations, it is imperative for employers and managers to realize that the multitasking culture that they support is in fact unhealthy for them and the employees, as well as the company or organization. It is important to associate realistic expectations with a person's ability to multi task. This does not mean that we should not engage in multitasking at all; it means that we should be wise about the tasks that we decide to pair. If we are working on a demanding task then we should pair it with a task that does not involve much use of our mental faculties (the routine tasks). However, before going any further and accepting the relevance of multitasking, it is crucial to ask ourselves if multitasking is really the solution to our problems. Benefits of this Book The idea behind this book is not to dismiss the fundamentals of multitasking but to adopt certain strategies to do several tasks, focusing and concentrating on each one separately for the perfect execution of each. If you are spending time worrying and getting stressed out about too many "to-dos" on your list NOT getting done, you should add The Pitfalls of Multitasking in Business and Society" to your reference library now. It is guaranteed to reduce your stress to a comfortable level.
