Unsatisfactory working conditions and job stress may be indicative
of working in a society where work-life balance is a desired, but
often elusive, goal. Working conditions in the healthcare sector
are reported to be particularly problematic and stress inducing
compared to other work sectors. This study examines quality of work
life (QOWL) from the perspective of healthcare staff. A particular
focus is on how initiatives aimed at improving QOWL affect staff
perceptions of the care they provide. The analysis should help
answer the questions: How do staff members experience their work
environment in terms of stress, work load, time pressure, and
work-life balance? What is the experience of staff relative to QOWL
initiatives? How do staff members perceive their managers in
relation to supporting their involvement in QOWL initiatives? What
role can leisure play in helping to shape QOWL initiatives that aim
to reduce work related stress and promote work-life balance? What
is the perception of staff regarding the quality of care they
provide and to what extent do they feel it is influenced by QOWL
initiatives? This book addressed to managers and healthcare
administrators. It is also directed towards researchers interested
in work life, stress, leisure, and the provision of quality care
within the healthcare sector.
