Abstract:
To date, research directed at the work–life balance (WLB) has focused mainly on the work and family domains. However, the current labor force is heterogeneous, and workers may also value other nonworking domains besides the family. The aim of this study was to investigate the importance of other nonworking domains in the WLB with a particular focus on health. Moreover, the importance of the effects of the work–family balance (WFB) and the work–health balance (WHB) on job satisfaction was investigated. Finally, we explored how the effects of the WFB and the WHB on job satisfaction change according to worker characteristics (age, gender, parental status, and work ability). This study involved 318 workers who completed an online questionnaire. The importance of the nonworking domains was compared with a t-test. The effect of the WFB and the WHB on job satisfaction was investigated with multiple and moderated regression analyses. The results show that workers considered health as important as family in the WLB. The WHB explained more of the variance in job satisfaction than the WFB. Age, gender and parental status moderated the effect of the WFB on job satisfaction, and work ability moderated the effect of the WHB on job satisfaction. This study highlights the importance of the health domain in the WLB and stresses that it is crucial to consider the specificity of different groups of workers when considering the WLB.

Abstract:
Purpose American workers at nearly every level of the income spectrum are not and often cannot to save properly to be secure in retirement. Addressing this challenge will require a comprehensive policy discussion by both federal and state policymakers. Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) are the primary form of employee ownership, and for reasons explored in this report, companies organized as S corporations are especially likely to be fully ESOP-owned. The purpose of the paper is to explore the role played by employee ownership in retirement security overall and across wage and age groups. Design/methodology/approach The findings described in this report are derived from a survey of privately held S corporation ESOPs. The report compares these findings to nationally representative survey data. The online survey, conducted between January and March 2018, received responses from 39 companies that supplied the median and average account balances of a total of 61,020 plan participants. It breaks new ground by presenting retirement account balances by wage and age categories (e.g. 20,000 lower-wage workers and 8,000 employees nearing retirement). Findings ESOP participants represented in this survey have more than twice the average total retirement balance of Americans nationally: $170,326 vs $80,339. This is not just a function of higher wage ESOP employees driving the average up. ESOP employees making less than $25,000 a year also have on average more than double the retirement savings ($55,526) compared to similar workers nationally ($22,447). Nearly all of the respondent companies (97 percent) offer at least one other retirement plan in addition to the ESOP. By contrast, 32 percent of all workers in the US workforce as a whole do not have access to any retirement benefits at work, and 49 percent of all workers are not participating in the plan that is available to them. Additionally, these S corporation ESOP companies provide an array of benefits at levels solidly higher than firms overall where comparison data exist. Certainly, these benefits make their own contribution to retirement security because workers are less likely to have to dip into savings for critical investments or expenses, such as tuition, to advance their career or unexpected medical expenses. Among the surveyed S ESOPs, workers nearing retirement have on average a median account balance of $147,522 in their ESOP plus $98,974 in a non-ESOP plan(s). By contrast, more than one-third (35 percent) of all workers nearing retirement have neither retirement savings nor a defined benefit pension. This percentage rises to 50 percent among low-income workers in this age bracket. As such, national data place the median account balance of all US workers aged 55–64 years at zero. Even among workers who have retirement accounts, the median balance nationally is $100,000. A typical millennial worker (25–34 years old) at a surveyed S ESOP company has a median ESOP account balance of $22,588 and a median balance of $11,239 in a non-ESOP account. In contrast, the median savings of US millennials is zero. Among the surveyed S ESOPs, lower-wage employees ($10.00–$12.85 per hour) typically have median account balances in their ESOP of $4,381 and in a non- ESOP plan of $2,149. In contrast, nationally, 56 percent of workers in this category do not have access to any retirement benefits at work. This translates into a median savings for this group of zero. Finally, ESOPs are clearly associated with reduced turnover. Respondent companies report quit and separation rates that are more than two times lower than national rates. Originality/value This is the first such study of its kind.

Abstract:
A limited body of research has examined satisfaction with work–life balance of expatriate workers who live abroad, residing outside the typical “family” or “life” domain. This study aims to demonstrate how and under which organizational circumstances job autonomy can increase work–life balance satisfaction of humanitarian aid expatriates. We hypothesize that especially in humanitarian work, trust in management can buffer potential negative effects of high autonomy. We test our hypothesis by means of ordinal logistic regression, using survey data collected among expatriates of the Operational Center Amsterdam of Médecins Sans Frontières ( N = 142). Results reveal that high levels of autonomy are positively related with work–life balance satisfaction when trust in the management of the organization is high. When trust in management is low, the effect of high autonomy on work–life balance satisfaction is negative. This implies that trust in management indeed buffers negative effects of high autonomy among expatriate humanitarian aid workers.

Abstract:
In this paper, combining quantitative human factors load with production line balance (PLB), a set of systematic methodology is developed. Firstly, after analyzed the importance of human factors, the evaluation of those is briefly introduced. Then, a model of PLB considering human factors is developed, whose objectives are to minimize the workers number and smooth the human factors load in one cell/worker. Finally, a piston production line as an example is to optimize and simulate by Quest. The optimizing and simulating results indicate that considering human factor load of each process/task can make workers’ workload more balance and more practical significance than only time.

Abstract:
Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to examine how occupations and the institutional setting shape the power balance (individual bargaining power) between employees and employers. It builds on theoretical approaches on knowledge work and institutional theory. Design/methodology/approach – The paper uses the European Social Survey data in 2010/2011 to compare the power balance between employees and employers in three countries: Denmark, Sweden, and Norway. Multinomial logit regression was employed. Findings – The results show that occupation and the institutional setting shape the power balance between employees and employers. Employees in highly skilled occupations perceive greater power vis-à-vis their employer, and employees in Denmark, characterized by greater flexibility for employers, perceive less power than in Sweden and Norway. In addition, age and gender are important demographic factors determining employees’ perceived power towards their employers. Originality/value – The literature makes a number of assumptions with regard to the attitudes and behaviour of knowledge workers. However, research that compares employees in knowledge work with other occupational groups is scarce. This paper adds to the literature by comparing employees in highly skilled knowledge work with employees in lower skilled occupations. It also empirically shows how different approaches to definitions of knowledge work correspond.

Abstract:
This project explored the way working mothers cope with home, work, family demands as well as self-care. It mainly focused on the balance they have been able to achieve in their lives as working women, wife, and mothers. This study used qualitative research to examine the challenges these women face in their working and personal lives, the support systems they rely on to fulfill their multiple roles, and the strategies and coping skills they utilize to maintain work and family life balance. This study used an interview format with a qualitative method based. In this approach, primarily open-ended questions were used. The major focus was to explore and then compared participants’ responses to those questions. This method was chosen because it allows for a comparison of different experiences of a common topic The challenges discussed by the working women included: (a) work schedule, (b) time constraints and (c) exhaustion. The participants relied on the following support systems to fulfill their multiple roles: (a) husbands, (b) grandparent and family, (c) co-workers, and (d) bosses. Finally, the strategies the working women used to achieve work/family balance included (a) planning, (c) faith, and (d) accepting limitations.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIRO
Já há algum tempo as organizações estão atentas à questão de work-life balance, tendo criado diversos programas e benefícios para promover um melhor equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e vida profissional dos funcionários, visando uma melhoria da produtividade. O tema também é de interesse do mundo acadêmico que pesquisa os impactos nocivos do desequilíbrio para as organizações e para o bem-estar dos funcionários, bem como suas causas e consequências. Todavia, essas pesquisas são, em sua maioria, voltadas para a elite trabalhadora, os whitecollar, dando pouca atenção aos segmentos profissionais menos qualificados. Esta constatação motivou o presente estudo que teve por objetivo compreender como o tema é percebido por indivíduos de diferentes origens socioeconômicas. Ancorado nos postulados de Bourdieu (2007), de que a percepção dos indivíduos é afetada pela classe ou fração de classe social, partiu-se da pressuposição de que a questão do equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e vida profissional não seria percebida, da mesma forma, por indivíduos de diferentes segmentos profissionais. Através de uma pesquisa qualitativa, trabalhadores de diferentes estratos socioeconômicos foram entrevistados visando um entendimento da percepção de cada um em relação ao equilíbrio entre vida pessoal e vida profissional. Os resultados dessa pesquisa indicaram que o tema é mais bem compreendido por trabalhadores de nível socioeconômico superior, sugerindo que work-life balance é um conceito definido pela elite, os pesquisadores da Academia, membros da elite cultural da sociedade (Bourdieu, 2007), para as elites.
Organisations have been concerned for some time with work-life balance. Several programmes and benefits have been created to promote a better employees work-life balance, aiming to improve the productivity. It is also in the interest of academics to study the impact of the imbalance on organisations and on employees well-being, as wells as its causes and consequences. However, the majority of these studies are focused on upper class workers, who are also known as white-collars, while little attention is paid to the less qualified professionals. This fact has motivated this study, which has the objective to comprehend how work-life balance is perceived by individuals from different socioeconomic strata. Anchored in Bourdieu s (2007) assumptions that individual perceptions are impacted by social class or fraction of class, it is presumed that the work-life balance is perceived differently by individuals from different professional segments. Through qualitative research, workers from different socioeconomic strata were interviewed aiming to understand the perception of each one in relation to work-life balance. The results indicated that work-life balance is better comprehended by workers with higher socioeconomic status, suggesting that this concept was defined by the elite, the academic researchers, members of the intelectual elite of the society (Bourdieu, 2007), for the elite.

Abstract:
Foster care workers are an important part of the social service system, as they are the first line of support for children without families or who have been subjected to tragic events leading to their need for foster care. Foster care workers often experience work-life boundary issues due to the emotional nature of their work. The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the relationship between (a) emotional intelligence and absenteeism and (b) emotional intelligence and work-life balance with foster care workers. Data was collected from foster care workers in the state of South Carolina employed with the Department of Social Services (n=200). Participants completed the Emotional Social Competency Inventory (ESCI) and the Work Related Quality of Life Scale (WRQoL) via pen and paper and email receipts. Ordinary least squares regression was used, including methods for mediation testing; multivariate analysis of covariance was also carried out for robustness testing purposes. No significant relationship was found between emotional intelligence and absenteeism. There was a significant relationship between various elements of emotional intelligence and various elements of work-life balance, but the effect sizes were small (> 0.04). There were no significance effects based on the results for absenteeism. Overall, the results illuminate the role of emotional intelligence on the work and life balance of foster care workers. One recommendation for future research would be to distinguish between voluntary and involuntary absenteeism. The results of the study can be used by organizations that employ foster care workers to improve the work and life balance and the effects of absenteeism in this line of work.

Abstract:
There is extensive literature on employee engagement; its antecedents; linkages to positive business outcomes; and its positive impact on retention. Top performing organisations have even found that aligning the engagement strategies to the business goals drive performance outcomes. There is no universal definition of employee engagement and drivers, therefore, a general approach without due cognisance of worker demographics may result in the application of inappropriate engagement strategies. In this study, the focus is on knowledge workers within the banking sector of Botswana. Knowledge workers make up almost two thirds of organisations and are said to be unique and complex in their nature. Work to a knowledge worker is more mental than physical, hence, the need to use interventions aimed at the behaviour to increase their performance. The needs of a knowledge worker and that of the business ought to be integrated. An organisation that is able to identify those factors that would influence their engagement is promised high levels of productivity that would translate into profits and high retention. The main research problem for this study was to determine the strategies that should be used to engage knowledge workers within the banking sector in Botswana. A literature study was conducted to identify characteristics of knowledge workers, meaning of employee engagement and approaches to measuring employee engagement. Eleven organisational factors that have an influence on employee engagement and some of the engagement strategies were identified from literature. The eleven factors identified were: growth and development; rewards and recognition; trust in leadership; work/life balance; two way communication; mission, vision and values; quality of manager; relationship with colleagues; fairness of HR policies; job design; and accountability. An empirical study was also conducted to investigate which of the eleven organisational factors had an influence in the engagement of knowledge workers. The current engagement level of knowledge workers within the banking sector was measured using the Gallup Q12 measuring tool. The main findings from this research are that a significant number of knowledge workers are engaged. The findings of this study also coincide with the theoretical overview that there are organisational factors that have an influence on the engagement of employees. A significant finding was that, although knowledge workers differ in their perception of the organisational factors, they generally indicate that work/life balance initiatives are lacking in their workplace.

Abstract:
This thesis attempted to examine the effects of on-call work schedules on professional social workers. This was achieved through the use of a demographic survey and qualitative face-to-face and phone interviews. A total of 15 interview questions were explored, the subjects included: the impacts of on-call work on psychological, physiological, emotional well-being and work family balance of professional social workers. Participants were recruited using availability sampling and the sample size consisted of nine participants. The nine interviews were transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. The researcher identified common themes related to on-call work schedules. Results found that participants suffered familial disruption as well as impacts on their well-being and support system. There was also a lack of access to patient information and similar difficulties experienced by participants while on-call. Participants also provided suggestions in order to improve on-call experiences. It is recommended that similar studies be conducted on a larger sample size to insure generalizability and a greater understanding of the impacts on-call work has on the social work profession.

Abstract:
This study examines the jobs-housing balance and the excess commute of Saturn employees in Spring Hill. Until recently, the number of jobs has greatly exceeded the number of houses. In 2005 the balance is about even, however many newer residents are believed to be people who work in Nashville. Many Saturn employees live on the outskirts of Spring Hill and must commute longer distances to work. A spatial analysis using GIS of employee home locations shows that 74% of employees commute is in excess compared to if employees actually lived within Spring Hill. Surveys of Saturn employees shows traffic en route to work is a major frustration. It is suggested that future housing development in Spring Hill occur closer to Saturn. This will equilibrate the jobs-housing balance and will reduce the excess commute. Other Southern towns may wish to consider these results when planning for the development of automobile manufacturers.

Abstract:
The objective and purpose of this PhD is to provide pragmatic solutions to the Posted Workers Directive 96/71/EC.1 This European Union legislation is designed to govern a unique category of worker that moves throughout the internal market temporarily under the provision of services. The Directive was created to protect workers’ rights, combat social dumping by ensuring a climate of fair competition and promote the transnational provision of services. In practice, it has failed to fulfil its objectives, as seen by the Laval Triplet.2 Therefore, following a thorough analysis of the issues that are intrinsic to the Directive itself and also highlight wider issues such as the competing interests of the internal market and national labour law as well as the conflicting economic and social policy interests, this thesis will provide legislative solutions which will constitute the requisite original contribution to knowledge. The thesis is composed of five parts, beginning with the Introduction and ending with the Conclusions. The central Chapters follow the chronological order of the Directive’s story as follows: Chapter 1 details why and how the Directive was created including an analysis of the early case law; Chapter 2 analyses the issues associated with the Directive and it offers an original critique of the Court’s interpretation of the Directive; and Chapter 3 reviews the solutions that have already been suggested by the EU Institutions, the European Social Partners and the academic literature before providing my own input to the field. The form of methodology adopted throughout is therefore doctrinal.

Abstract:
How can older workers in the public sector maintain a satisfactory work life balance in the last ten or fifteen years of their career and into retirement? Organisational policies designed to support work life balance may help, but only if there is a corporate will to overcome prevailing internal culture, together with an understanding of the specific needs of older workers. Work life balance, which has gained importance over the past few decades, is defined here as the way in which individuals apportion time spent in their paid work with all of the other activities in their lives. Those approaching the end of their working lives come from a workaholic generation used to long hours as a way of showing loyalty to their employers, whereas their younger colleagues expect good work life balance as the norm. While the notion of work life balance for those who are no longer in paid work may seem strange, the way an individual plans for and controls the manner of their retirement may impact their well-being both before and after retirement. For many, retirement is no longer a single step from employment into non-employment; rather a phased reduction or sometimes ‘un-retirement’ and these changes may affect individual perceptions of their work life balance. This qualitative study, with uniformed and non-uniformed staff aged 45+ employed by a metropolitan Fire & Rescue Service, enabled participants to consider their work life balance issues; particularly whether there were any issues that were specific to that age cohort; and whether those issues might change as they moved towards and through retirement, although few had made detailed plans about their post-retirement lives. The effectiveness of organisational work life balance policies was found to be subject to the prevailing culture as well as pressures on the public sector to reduce staffing levels while maintaining front line services. The effects of the abolition of the Default Retirement Age and changes in the pension schemes have yet to be fully addressed by the organisation or individual employees.

Abstract:
Introduction: Low Back Pain Syndrome is commonly classified as a set of signs and symptoms, of multifactorial origin. Rural work has been currently reported in the scientific literature as one of the most harmful labor practices to human health. Objective: Characterizing low back pain syndrome and associated factors in rural workers exposed to short- to long-term pesticides. Methods: This was an observational, cross-sectional and analytical study in which 322 male rural workers aged 18-59 years old have been exposed to pesticides and the parameters evaluated were: anthropometric characteristics, socio-demographic (marital status, alcoholism and smoking) , acute and chronic pain index in the lumbar spine, hip, knee and ankle through Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and Body Map, as well as functional parameters: body balance through the BERG Balance Scale (BBS), Risk of falls: Time Up and Go Test (TUG TEST) and functionality by OSWESTRY (ODI). The statistical approach was analytical descriptive. Results: Regarding the anthropometric parameters observed: age (34.9 ± 8.4 years), weight (72.9 ± 5.3 kg), height (1.69 ± 0.05) and BMI (24.7 ± 1,9 kg / m²). Most workers n=216 (67.1%) were in the age group of 18-39 years, adequate BMI n=179 (41.9%), time of exposure to pesticides =36 months n=202 (62,7%), predominantly single (n=225) (69.9%), low consumption of tobacco and alcohol respectively, n=193 (59.9%) n=183 (56.8%). It was evidenced that a sample presents acute low back pain n = 219 (66.1%), hip pain n =238 (73.9%) and moderate functional disability n=139 (43.2%). There was a strong correlation between TUG TEST vs. ODI (r= 0.8, p=0.01). Acute low back pain. Age (r=0.8, p=0.01), marital status (r=0.75, p=0.01). Conclusion: The data suggest that rural workers present a higher rate of mild acute low back pain and mild to moderate hip pain, low body imbalance, moderate risk of falls and moderate functional disability.
A Síndrome da dor lombar é comumente classificada como um conjunto de sinais e sintomas, de origem multifatorial. Atualmente o trabalho rural tem sido reportado na literatura cientifica como uma das práticas laborais mais lesivas à saúde humana. Objetivo: Caracterizar a Síndrome da dor lombar e fatores associados em trabalhadores rurais das cidades de Lagarto e Salgado, Sergipe expostos a agrotóxicos. Metodologia: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, transversal e analítico, no qual foram incluídos 322 trabalhadores rurais do gênero masculino com idade entre 18 e 59 anos expostos a agrotóxicos e os parâmetros avaliados foram: características antropométricas, sociodemográficas (estado civil, alcoolismo e tabagismo), índice álgico agudo e crônico em coluna lombar, quadril, joelho e tornozelo através da Escala Analógica da Dor (EVA) e Mapa Corporal, além de parâmetros funcionais: equilíbrio corporal através da escala de BERG (EEB), Risco de quedas: Time Up and Go teste (TUG TEST) e funcionalidade pelo OSWESTRY (ODI). A abordagem estatística foi do tipo descritiva analítica. Resultados: Em relação aos parâmetros antropométricos observou-se: idade, (34,9± 8,4 anos), peso (72,9± 5,3 Kg), altura (1,69± 0,05) e IMC (24,7±1,9 Kg/m²). A maioria dos trabalhadores n=216 (67,1%) encontravam-se na faixa etária de 18-39 anos, IMC adequado n=179 (41,9%), tempo de exposição a agrotóxicos =36 meses n=202 (62,7%), predominantemente solteiros n=225 (69,9 %), baixo consumo de tabaco e álcool, respectivamente n=193 (59,9%) n=183 (56,8%). Foi evidenciado que a amostra apresenta lombalgia aguda n=219 (66,1%), dor no quadril n= 238 (73,9%) e incapacidade funcional moderada n=139 (43,2%). Houve correlação forte entre TUG TEST Vs. ODI (r=0,8; p=0,01). Lombalgia aguda Vs. Idade (r=0,8; p=0,01), estado civil (r=0,75; p=0,01). Conclusão: Os dados sugerem que os trabalhadores rurais apresentam, maior índice de lombalgia aguda de forma leve e fatores associados, como do tipo dor no quadril de leve a moderada, baixo desequilíbrio corporal, médio risco de quedas e incapacidade funcional moderada.

Abstract:
The Master's Thesis on "Analysis of the conditions of use of programs for disadvantaged workers at Česká spořitelna, a.s." deals with harmonizing personal and professional life and support of disadvantaged groups of workers in Česká spořitelna (Czech Savings Bank). The aim is to analyze the level of Česká spořitelna staff's awareness of programs aimed at supporting disadvantaged groups of workers. To find out how they are informed of such programs existence, how they perceive the programs, what their opinions are on the programs and how they use the wide variety of activities and support in their daily lives. The theoretical part defines basic terms and characterizes selected programs. The empirical part takes up resolving the actual research, which is carried via questionnaires and individual interviews. A subsequent analysis of the research outcomes is essential in order to draw conclusions and propose appropriate recommendations in the field of diversity management and work-life balance in Česká spořitelna.

Abstract:
AbstractThis volume uses community case studies and data from around the world to highlight the sustained health and social inequities that sex workers in all of their diversity experience in 2020. Guided by a balanced community–academic partnership, this volume aims to ensure that sex workers’ voices are amplified in describing both challenges and the ways forward. Collectively, the chapters describe an elevated burden of HIV, sexually transmitted infections, drug-related harms, violence and other human rights violations, and significant unmet sexual and reproductive health needs. They also demonstrate that sex workers are not passive recipients of such inequity, but rather actively resist and continue to mobilise to advocate for improved health, safety, and human rights conditions and policy changes. Evidence-based recommendations include sex work decriminalisation, ensuring accessible and sex worker-friendly services, removal of punitive policing and surveillance, community empowerment, and strengthening capacity for community engagement in research, policy, and programmes.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper analyzes the effects of recent Venezuelan immigration to Colombia on the fiscal balance, the labor market, and economic growth. For this purpose, we built a dynamic general equilibrium model with a search and matching structure in the labor market. The higher fiscal spending to address immigration negatively impacts the government's budget in the short term, which is offset by higher output, consumption, and employment level, increasing the government's revenues mainly through indirect tax collection. The effect on the labor market is different for unskilled workers--whose higher supply generates a negative effect on wages and an increase in the unemployment rate--and skilled workers, who benefit from higher wages and lower unemployment. These changes in the labor market affect the government's revenue, resulting, in the long term, in positive fiscal dividends of migration.

Full text
Abstract:
This article explores the rationale behind a performance given by the authors at the Unfolding the Process symposium held in Oslo in November 2015. For this occasion, the authors devised a new version of Bach’s Goldberg Variations that builds upon Emmerson’s arrangement of the work for two pianos in 2012. A shortened version of the work (c.30 minutes) was designed that aimed nonetheless to maintain the original work’s sense of structural balance and coherence. This version involved the transposition of a number of variations into different keys to explore the possibility of adding a satisfying tonal structure to our experience of the work, in a context where both performers see potential communicative value in 'playing with' dimensions of original masterworks with a view to giving fresh perspective to the listener experience. The article is written from the alternating perspectives of the authors; one of which is primarily concerned with the rationale and process of devising the arrangement while the other reflects upon the performative aspects and implications arising from it.

Institute of Development Studies (IDS), June 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.19088/if.2021.008.

Full text
Abstract:
This qualitative study was undertaken as part of the work of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) funded Inclusion Works programme which aims to improve inclusive employment for people with disabilities in four countries: Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Bangladesh. When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged early in 2020 the work of this consortium programme was adapted to focus on pandemic relief and research activities, while some other planned work was not possible. The Institute of Development Studies (IDS) led a piece of qualitative research to explore the experiences and perceptions of the pandemic and related lockdowns in each country, using a narrative interview approach, which asks people to tell their stories, following up with some further questions once they have identified their priorities to talk about. 10 people with disabilities who were involved in Inclusion Works in each country were purposively selected to take part, each being invited to have two interviews with an interval of one or two months in between, in order to capture changes in their situation over time. The 10 interviewees had a range of impairments, were gender balanced and were various ages, as well as having differing living and working situations.
