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.
