This book argues that the current structure of student affairs work
is not sustainable, as it depends on the notion that employees are
available to work non-stop without any outside responsibilities,
that is, the Ideal Worker Norm. The field places inordinate burdens
on staff to respond to the needs of students, often at the expense
of their own families and well-being. Student affairs professionals
can meet the needs of their students without being overworked. The
problem, however, is that ideal worker norms pervade higher
education and student affairs work, thus providing little incentive
for institutions to change. The authors in this book use ideal
worker norms in conjunction with other theories to interrogate the
impact on student affairs staff across functional areas,
institutional types, career stage, and identity groups. The book is
divided into three sections; chapters in the first section of the
book examine various facets of the structure of work in student
affairs, including the impact of institutional type and different
functional areas on employees' work-lives. Chapters in the second
section examine the personal toll that working in student affairs
can take, including emotional labor's impact on well-being. The
final section of the book narrows the focus to explore how
different identity groups, including mothers, fathers, and people
of color, navigate work/life issues. Challenging ideal worker
norms, all chapters offer implications for practice for both
individuals and institutions.
