Working life has been the subject of great change in recent years
with contemporary conditions generally providing increased
opportunities and autonomy for individuals. But these benefits can
coincide with greater demands and responsibilities, increasing the
pressure to work outside of traditional working hours and so
creating conflict between work and family life. This book
contributes towards our understanding of contemporary working life,
considering how recent changes have affected the work climates,
attitudes and well-being of individuals. Combining traditional
theoretical frameworks with innovative research, it discusses both
the positive and negative effects contemporary working life has on
organizations and employees. International experts in the fields of
work and organizational psychology present strategies to prevent
negative working conditions and help individuals achieve a healthy
work life balance.
