LITERATURE REVIEW Work-life balance (WLB) is a situation where people can manage their work and their personal life, without and sometimes with one role affecting the other one (Lewis, 2011). The “life” aspect can be considered as “family life”, “non-work activities”, etc. Some authors refer at it as “work-life balance” and others as “work-family balance”, because “life” also involves “work” and it not only affects their life, but also their families. However, this balance is not equal to everybody (Kossek, Batles, Matthews, 2011). This literature …show more content…

This depends on the demands, resources, personal attributes, and culture (Jain and Nair, 2013). One of its resources is energy (time, knowledge or physical energy), because it helps and supports a person, so the lack of it causes stress in an individual producing a conflict (Hsieh, Pearson, Chang and Uen, 2004). A person spends most of his time and energy in one of the roles, rather than the other one (Hsieh, Pearson and Kline, 2009). These amounts are fixed, and it is when people try to accomplish both demands when the conflict occurs (Camgoz, 2014). Kossek et al. (2011) add that as more roles a person have, it is more probable that they are going to clash. This suggests that everybody has been in this conflict …show more content…

Also, personal life enhances work more than it interferes with it and more than work enhances personal life (Hsieh et al., 2008). However, Lewis (2011) highlights that as family events are not that flexible, they interfere with work. Work interfering with personal life produces stress (even more with personal life involvement). Therefore, by leaving the organization the stress was reduced and the problem was eliminated. Whereas, it does not have the same effect in the other way, they use work as a way to escape (work involvement) (Hsieh et al., 2009). This reveals the major spillovers found in managers’ life and

The ongoing process of striking a balance between one’s work and demands of life, including marital status have become a challenge for most professionals. So, in the spirit of being part of the solution, I took some time to compile some of the fundamental lessons I’ve learned to date as well as the best of the advice I’ve gotten from experts. These lessons are not rules or absolutes they’re a snapshot of what’s worked for me so far and food for thought. However, the two op-ed pieces by David Brooks and the Young Money chapters caution us to the value in maintaining a work and life balance.

Conflict is very important in the Breadwinner and there are three different types of conflicts. The first conflict is Person vs. Person, and in this book it would be Parvana’s family vs the taliban. I think this is because they have been bombing Afghanistan (Ch.1). Another example is when the taliban took Parvana’s father to prison (Ch.3). That is an example of one of the conflicts, Person vs Person.

Conflict resolution happens often in the workplace that can either drive or disturb employees, supervisors, a team, and an entire organization. When supervisors allow conflict resolution to fester without taking immediate action, it can lead the organization into an unhealthy environment. In this paper, the topic for discussion will analyze various strategies that can be utilized to control and manage conflict resolution in the workplace, and the role of the supervisor during conflict resolution situations. In addition, a discussion will include how the workplace and its customers are impacted by a diverse workforce.

Introduction In today’s society, it is common for employees to have many challenging responsibilities in their life other than work, for example, commitments involving parents or children, education or sports commitments or personal interests outside of work. People want to escape work for a greater sense of well-being and to reduce stress levels. A poor balance between an employee’s work commitments and their other responsibilities can lead to low productivity as well as high stress and absentees. Meanwhile, employees with better work-life balance often have a greater sense of responsibility, achievement, ownership and control of their working life.
