A penetrating analysis of the changing and interacting worlds of
work and family life in the U.S. military, this volume extends the
concept of the organization man to focus on the organization
family. Based on the most recent literature and research on work
and family dynamics in the military services today, the
contributors examine such issues as the special problems of dual
career couples and single parents, the challenge of rebuilding
military communities, and the influence of family factors on the
workplace. Taken together, their essays advance our understanding
of the nature and dynamics of the work/family interface. This work
also presents some significant policy implications for military
leadership and family life professionals interested in forging a
more productive partnership between the military organization and
the military family.
The book is divided into three major sections, each of which
addresses a key aspect of work and family life: work and family
linkages, the problems of special population groups, and the
organizational response to family-level issues in the workplace.
Each chapter provides a theoretical and/or historical perspective
on the topic under study as well as presenting the latest empirical
research in the area. Throughout, the contributors draw relevant
comparisons between the military and civilian employment sectors,
making the book invaluable for advanced students of military and
family sociology, contemporary family patterns and issues, and
public policy.
