Working Couples: Rhona Rapoport Working Couples
Rhona Rapoport; Edited by (associates) Janice Bumstead; Edited by Robert N. Rapoport
R949 Discovery Miles 9 490 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Originally published in 1978 Working Couples deals with husbands and wives who both hold paid jobs. The editors, the late Robert N. and Rhona Rapoport, had established themselves as well-respected authorities on dual-career families, and in this study they call upon other specialists in the field to apply their research experience to the consideration of the particular problems confronting working couples at the time. They discuss how some of these issues had arisen and analyse how they were being dealt with in a number of contexts. Working couples at the time were subject to constraints of various kinds in meeting the challenges they faced, and there were many who rejected the lifestyle on these grounds; but there were many others for whom it worked. Numerous families were attempting to operate the pattern in new ways. Both may have separate jobs, and her income may not only be separate from his, but in some cases larger and more reliable. Such a situation creates its own problems, which need to be resolved. The authors look at and clarify some of the generic issues and discover which resolutions have been satisfactory, as well as the various devices created for helping dual-worker families to function.

Sex, Career and Family (Paperback): Michael P. Fogarty, Rhona Rapoport, Robert N. Rapoport Sex, Career and Family (Paperback)
Michael P. Fogarty, Rhona Rapoport, Robert N. Rapoport
R1,543 Discovery Miles 15 430 Ships in 12 - 17 working days

In this book, first published in 1971, the authors show from first-hand studies of family and working life (and with evidence from many countries, including the socialist societies of Eastern Europe) the nature of the discrimination facing women in the professions - and how various family and employment patterns might contribute to solving it. Their point is not that some new stereotype should be substituted for traditional views of the role of husbands and wives: different patterns fit different situations.

Beyond Work-Family Balance - Advancing Gender Equity and Workplace Performance (Hardcover, 1st ed): Rhona Rapoport, Lotte... Beyond Work-Family Balance - Advancing Gender Equity and Workplace Performance (Hardcover, 1st ed)
Rhona Rapoport, Lotte Bailyn, Joyce K Fletcher, Bettye H. Pruitt
R920 R712 Discovery Miles 7 120 Save R208 (23%) Ships in 12 - 17 working days

Everyone who struggles to meet the demands of work and personal-life responsibilities knows how tough it is to do so. This bold new book shows that it is the deeply engrained separation of work and personal life that has limited our ability to deal effectively with the conflict between them. Beyond Work-Family Balance demonstrates why the image of "balance" is outmoded and why a new approach — work-personal life integration — offers greater promise for meaningful change.

Providing many examples from action research projects in more than a dozen organizations of different kinds, the authors show how using their method of integrating rather than separating personal-life considerations from the workplace can achieve positive outcomes, not only for workers but also for the work. The method offers a way of looking deeply into the work culture to find inequitable and ineffective work practices that are so embedded and routine that no one thinks to question them — they are just the way things get done. Once identified, these work practices can be changed to achieve what the authors call a Dual Agenda: a more equitable workplace where both men and women can achieve their full potential and a more effective workplace where the needs of the work, rather than gendered and outmoded assumptions, determine what gets done and how.
