Автор: Dorothea Horak Название: Work-Family Interface in Global Context ISBN: 1681178249 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781681178240 Издательство: Gazelle Book Services Рейтинг: Цена: 244510.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Work-life interface is the intersection of work and private life. Work-family conflict and enrichment are experiences that occur daily and have substantial consequences for employees, their families, and the organisations that employ them. The aim of the current review is to make a link between life and career stage, work and family conditions, and the work-family interface. This interface can be adverse in nature (eg:, work-life conflict) or can be beneficial (eg:, work-life enrichment) in nature. Family, work, and health are mentioned by adults as the most important things in their lives. Ideally work promotes psychological health in the form of income and the development of a sense of accomplishment; family or home, in turn, is a place for attaining close relationships, personal happiness, and recovery. Todays adults are, however, facing many challenges while trying to find a satisfying balance between these life domains. Working life in society has undergone changes during recent decades, a development which is associated with global competition and the 24/7 service-on-demand society that is also evident. This has demanded that workers be flexible, expend more effort, and endure uncertainties in their lives, even at the risk of their mental health and fulfilling family life. Context of the work-family interface refers to the perspective from which the work-family interface is studied. In terms of the ecological systems theory, individual experiences in face-to-face relationships within work and family domains reflect the micro-systems of the work-family interface. The linkages and processes occurring between work and family in addition to shared experiences and reciprocal effects that occur between an individual and his/her role partners reflect the system of the work-family interface. The influence of the third life domain, in which an individual is not involved in work-family interface processes that directly involve him or her, constitutes the exosystem effects. The influence of broader social contexts, such as subcultures or larger groups with distinctive norms and rules, on the work-family interface constitutes the macro-system effects. The Work-Family Interface in a Global Context contains widespread and precise cross-cultural study of the work-family interface in contemporary society. Just as work-family conflict is linked with negative consequences for workers, organisations, and societies, so too can the work and family sphere relate positively to enhance or enrich one another. It provides narrative knowledge on the topic from different perspectives, highlighting not only the inherent challenges but also the positive side of working in a modern globalized world. In addition, the book covers several different perspectives on the work and personal life interface offering insights on the areas like adjustment, social support, dual-career issues and organisational practices. The contributed chapters in this collection explore the influence of culture on the work-family interface, in order to help researchers and managers understand the applicability of work-family models.

This book analyzes the highly contentious payday lending industry, presenting valuable new data collected during Canada's recent regulatory reviews and demonstrating its relevance to payday lending conversations taking place worldwide. The authors treat the industry with a balanced hand by establishing its importance as an example of financialization and acknowledging the complex impact of payday lending services on low-income and credit-constrained clients. Up-to-date data from an interdisciplinary mix of financial, econometric, legal, behavioral economic, and socioeconomic sources—all in the context of an established Canadian industry—provide both proponents and opponents of payday lending with valuable evidence for their discussions of how much regulation is required to minimize harmful consequences. These insights from Canada expand a US-centric conversation and provide a key resource for the growing list of countries in which the industry is present, from the UK and Poland to South Africa and Australia.

Автор: Buhari Gulmez Название: Europeanization in a Global Context ISBN: 1349950580 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781349950584 Издательство: Springer Рейтинг: Цена: 83850.00 T Наличие на складе: Есть у поставщика Поставка под заказ. Описание: This book puts forward an original approach to Europeanization in a global context. Following the world polity approach, the author establishes the missing link between global, European and domestic realms and reveals the multiplicity of dynamics and logics driving the reform process in European Union candidate countries. A range of other topics are investigated, including whether Europeanization is only driven by parochial strategic interests or by broader normative concerns and how we can make sense of the selectivity in domestic compliance with the EU without succumbing to binary thinking.Focusing on the critical case of Turkey, the book puts forward three varieties of Europeanization: strategic, normative and ritualized, which underlie the complex dynamics that drive the reform processes in EU candidate countries. It will be of interest to scholars and students with an interest in Sociology, Political Science, International Relations, Globalization, Europeanization, European Studies and Turkish Studies.
